In Bangkok, it’s easy to find cheap and good seafood around but the downside is that it is always fully packed and the dining area is always very cramped. It’s really for you to quickly dine and leave. Definitely not a place for you to dine in comfort and chit chat.

If you are looking for a place to have a good seafood buffet and dine at your comfort and leisure, have a good dinner with your friends and families, then you will need to go to a high-end restaurant or hotel. One of Bangkok’s favourite places for seafood buffet can be found at Novotel Bangkok Ploenchit Sukhumvit Hotel. The buffet is  called the Seafood Weekend, meaning it’s only available from Friday to Sunday. And if you are going, please make sure you make a reservation beforehand because it’s always fully-booked. You can also visit their website to check out their ongoing promotions.

After the dinner here, I feel that my stomach was about to explode… The good thing is that the food quality here is good and makes it worthwhile to be so full. I’m so gonna walk all the way from Ploenchit to Siam to digest all the food. Haha.
