Glow very recently celebrated its first birthday with an outstanding party that included a delectable free bar! Glow is a small but perfectly formed and intimate venue split over two levels. Décor is fabulous with great attention to detail and extremely comfortable seating. Comfort is made irrelevant by the music and friendly atmosphere in this little Jewel as you'll probably be on your feet dancing all night! The music can range from funky house and techno to breaks and a spattering of drum and bass in just one night. All played through an outstanding sound system. Glow's management, quite rightly, have a hands off policy when it comes to their DJ's which allows the spinners to play to the crowd and kick off a real party! The staff are a charming bunch, welcoming, playful, and know how to mix a fine cocktail! The fine blend of comfort, music, atmosphere and fine drinks inspire a customer loyalty that makes this place a classic ‘Friends Bar' if you go a few times be assured that soon everyone will know your name

Hunting may no longer be PC but this pub in the basement of the Landmark Hotel is always correct. House band Sweet Inspiration are a tight unit who perform well arranged covers of contemporary music with great harmonies and, although it's all a bit Radio 2, it goes well with the surroundings! When the band isn't playing, the central bar makes a good focal point and if you're a bit peckish you'll find a good menu of mostly pub grub.

Downstairs in Riva's the thundering beat is dominant, two floors up in the Living Room a siesta can easily be attained. The whole area, Lobby and Living Room, is a vast man-made cavern with a décor that would have happened if the Pharaohs had got into art deco. The music is soothing, thus making it the ideal place to take an over-frisky spouse who has been geed up by Bangkok's exciting nightlife. Sit him down here for half an hour and to sleep he will surely go.

Log yes, but cabin no. Tree genocide must have been committed to build this vast log mansion/palace/hall/pile! The place has three restaurants, offering everything from Thai food in the pub/main music area, to a do-it-yourself barbie and a slick Jap restaurant on the first floor. There are also karaoke rooms, a wine club and teppanyaki food. The music varies from night to night with blues, Dixieland jazz, pop and rock 'n' roll all getting a slot. Upstairs in the smart restaurant a piano/trumpet duo play standards with style and polish.

This is a large restaurant with a classically kitsch décor that is undoubtedly Italian. The tables are large and the chairs comfortable. The menu is extensive with all the usual Italian favourites plus well thought out daily specials. The food is prepared to order and served by a well-trained, slick waiting staff. This is Italian food by Italians for Italians. There's also a good deli attached to the restaurant. Monday to Saturday you can listen to live music from the resident pianist (7pm-9pm) and pop band Floret (9.30pm-midnight).

Great futuristic décor both outside and in the pub. Enough amps and speakers to make a touring rock band happy and all in a room the size of an executive office. Not for those with delicate hearing, or pacemakers! The bad bit is that they charge for drinks before you go inside. That's not a bad idea when the band is shaking the walls, but if the place is empty, and the band replaced by rock music videos, it feels like a clip to get you in. Knowledge of cocktails is trivial, if not insufficient.
