A live band with a soul singer was a pleasant touch as we ate and afterwards she came down and introduced herself and spoke to us for a couple of minutes. Afterwards stick around and have drinks at the ultra cool bar, drinks run from 200 bahts (about $5 US dollars) to 20,000 bahts about $500 US dollars for Cristal Champagne. If it wasn't for the poor table serivce this place would get a 10 out of 10 but I'll give it nine out of 10.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21583 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17347
Both are in the heart of the city and have jaw-dropping views where you feel as close to the aeroplanes overhead as the ground below. The Moon Bar, especially, seems to hover over the city. Brilliant fun and very surreal — like sipping cocktails on the set of Bladerunner.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17347 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12904 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12904 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10761
After this have dinner at Spasso in the Grand Hyatt in Erawan. At 10 pm the live band starts, so if you are already in, you do not have to pay the cover charge of Baht 650.

Also try the lunch buffet at the Four Seasons Hotel and dinner Buffet at Novotel at Siam Square. The food and desserts are out of this world. Buffet at the Four Seasons is about 600 baht and at Novotel 650. But it's worth it. If you are looking for good DJ music than QBAR is your place.

Anyway Bangkok is a very polluted city but you can enjoy yourself very much. Watch out for the Tuk tuk seafood and jewelry scam and beware that if everybody is trying to making a living and tourists are part of it.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10761 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3753 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3753 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3670 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3670 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3645
The service is impeccable, the cocktails wonderful and the view – though muddied a little by the Bangkok smog – amazing, just see how close those aeroplanes are to you!

Be warned, the bar is not for the faint hearted. 656 feet in the open air is high and we spent a good portion of the time – at least until the cocktails had kicked in – sitting down and discreetly hanging on to the side of our chairs.

Dress code is smart/casual, so no shorts.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3645 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3623 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3623 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3556
What makes it great though, is that all this doesn't come with a premium price tag. Not budget accomodation by a long way, but you don't need a second mortgage to stay there.

But the highlight is a visit to the roof top bar (Vertigo) on the 64th floor. Fantastic views, great atmosphere and fab cocktails. Felt very Sex and the City. Certainly the place to take someone you're hoping to impress. Just make sure you wear trousers, not shorts.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3556
