Go late and get the royal treatment
Staying at the Plaza Atenee hotel was a true treat. The hotel room was a little small, but the location, facilaties, and restaurants were first class. The buffet is one of the best in Bangkok, and we happened into Smooth Curry one night, which turned out to be a highlight of our entire trip. My wife, 3 year old daugher and I, walked in a kinda late, around 9pm after a long day of shopping around town. We were the only ones there, as the kitchen was to close in the next hour. The attention we received was perfect. My wife is Thai, and she commented on how good the food was. We orderd a multi course set meal, and it was outstanding. I highly suggest the "set" menu choice as it's a thought out mixture of foods that are perfect together. Try it and enjoy it! We will be back. Oh and the buffet is an experience as well!
Cheers!
