Brunches are always a lovely way to spend an afternoon, but the ones with free-flow booze just hit the spot. Here are free-flow brunch spots you need to visit in Bangkok at standalone restaurants.
It’s a warm day on the weekend. You sit down catching a glimmer of the natural light shining through the window sills. You’re thinking of what to eat: maybe something light like an eggs Benedict or some avocado toast. You could also treat yourself to other pleasures you consider guilty and just order the lobster Thermidor. Whatever the choice, there’s just something unique when it comes to brunch, and it can be both a relaxing time to spend with yourself, or a fun session with good company.
Now add free-flow alcohol to the mix — spending time with yourself can be even more relaxed, and that session with good company is now even more fun and feisty. What’s not to like?
