The scene: The impressive views over Bangkok and the Royal Bangkok Sports Club are sure to impress Dad (and hopefully inspire him to pick up the check). Lots of red and cream leather couches, dark wood and ceiling beams, but the terrace zone is slightly more laid back with wicker chairs and leather cushions. Book in advance.
The food: Get deep with your dad over a Seafood Plateau (a traditional seafood tower of oysters, crab, lobster, and more, B2,800 for two) or something more macho like BBQ pork ribs with mashed potato and gravy (B420).
The drinks: Of course, you should have the St. Regis’ take on the Bloody Mary: the Siam Mary comes with ingredients like lemongrass and chili (B290).
