Travelfish on Sathorn

Sathorn Road and its immediate skyscraper-studded surrounds are a somewhat soulless meld of embassies, office towers, top hotels, restaurants and a few minor sights. Many travellers who make their way to this area are actually here to visit the immigration office. Sathorn Road hit the headlines in 1999 when a Burmese dissident group seized the Burmese embassy along the busy road and took a number of hostages. The drama ended the next day when the Thai authorities flew the gunmen to safety on the Burmese border in return for releasing the hostages.

One hotel of note is the gorgeous Sukhothai, where a long-running chocolate buffet is a hit with expats and tourists alike. The hotel is popular with visiting Australian prime ministers, officially because of the proximity to the embassy rather than the chocolate brunch, but we're not entirely sure. ... read more about Sathorn on Travelfish
