Bangkok Dim Sum
January 14, 2021by David Herd
Bangkok Dim Sum
Bangkok Dim Sum is one of my regular lunches when I visit the big mango. Very good quality reasonable price food & a good variety. Here are three of my favourite places around Sukhumvit in Nana, JW Marriott, Landmark Hotel & the Ambassador in Soi 11.
Ambassador Hotel Soi 11
This is where I go most of the time, good quality at a reasonable price & never crowded.
Delicious food at the Ambassador
How good does this look?
Soi 11 Ambassador Hotel
A good low cost place to stay in the heart of the action, for an excellent room discount just use THIS LINK. If you want to see some of the great bars & restaurants in Soi 11 just follow THIS LINK.
Landmark Hotel Sukhumvit
High quality restaurants & food. In the basement there is a terrific bar called the Huntsman, which is designed like an upmarket English pub, please check out THEIR LINK here.
Noodles & wontons & celery at the Landmark
An unusual dish but very good.
Pork Shumai at Landmark
Compulsory with every dim sum meal. 🙂
JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok
Excellent hotel with some very good restaurants.
JW Marriot at Nana
On the corner of Soi 3 & Sukhumvit.
Bangkok Dim Sum, sticky rice at the Marriot
This is a great place to stay if you want some luxury with loads of nightlife at your doorstep, including the infamous Nana Plaza.🙂 Once again for a very good room discount just book through THIS LINK.
Talking about Nana Plaza
Well here it is, one of the world’s most famous red light districts. Of course right now in January 2021 we are in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis, consequently Nana Plaza is in temporary lockdown.
Breakfast at the Marriott
This is definitely my favourite venue for breakfast when I’m in Bangkok, poached eggs, avocado & crispy bacon, delicious.

Thanks for visiting my Bangkok Dim Sum photo blog.
My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets.
I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington.
Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand.
What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :)
I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit.
Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ????
Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia.
Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
