Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- Would you spend a month's rent on a Sunday Brunch Buffet for 2 here in Bangkok? I did! Join me as I take you to what has to be the most expensive buffet in Bangkok, Thailand. The opulent Rain Tree Cafe has one of the best buffets I have ever had. However it doesn't come cheap. For what I paid for this buffet would easily get you a nice condo in many areas of Bangkok for a whole month. Is spending a whole month's rent on a buffet a wise choice? No, but it sure is delicious! Today Su and I feast for over 2 hours at the best, and most expensive, buffet here in Bangkok. We ate so many amazing things that we lost track of just how much time we had spent at this amazing all you can eat buffet. Let's eat!

I just want to congratulate you on keeping your white T-shirt clean 👍
Seriously! Lol
Ya that's was a dangerous move!
Many hotels offer these buffets. Our family only go once a year around Christmas. The two best ones are at Grand Hyatt Erawan and Oriental hotels. Used to cost around 3400 per head but that was pre covid. If you like seafood, Mungkorn Seafood near Phra Khanong BTS is about 600 per head with live crabs and prawns.
Ah thanks for the tips!
Great video. Based on this I visited the buffet around 4 weeks ago. It didn't disappoint.
That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad you liked it.
Thx for the vids always, I’ll be back in January for about 6/7 months, def checking this place out. I like your watch too.
There’s actually quite a few high-end buffets like this here in Bangkok. Don’t eat too much. Lol.
Your friend is so cute, how she enjoyed certain foods was so adorable , hard to not fall in love in her.
He he yeah she really enjoyed that place. We both are so much. Lol.
It's really impressive. Amazing what you can put away. You had my mouth watering the whole vlog. Sue is a treasure. Thanks for the ride.
Definitely ate too much. Ha ha. I told her if she can find another high-end buffet that she wants to try, we will go. I will of course make another video and share it with you guys.
Great video. And, it's funny to see that I am in it. 2 minutes 45. I'm the bald guy in the background eating too much ❤❤❤
Ha ha. Looks like we both ate too much. Lol.
This buffet is a bargain for what you get. I will have to try this place next time I visit Thailand. Great vid as always. Have a good day , my friend.
It’s just a very relaxed atmosphere, unlike some of the other buffets I’ve been to in Bangkok. Enjoy!
Give me a pot of Tea 🫖 and let me loose in the dessert area 🤭. What a great treat this would be for the experience. The restaurant is stunning and the ambiance looks great . You both had a great feast and everything looked amazing. The banter again with you and Su 😂😂 great fun
We spent almost 3 hours there. There was so much good food and we both totally filled ourselves. Lol.
So many options. Wow!
Oh yes. It’s good!
Thank you for sacrificing yourself for the buffet. Love your videos. Truck diver Lonnie out here in California, keep on trucking.
Thanks Lonnie. Watch out for them Smokeys! 🙃
Great video… Will definitely try it when I get back to BKK in late August…. 🙏🏻
Enjoy!
My favorite is the Sunday buffet at the Colonnade in the Sukhothai Hotel. I think best in Asia, since the 90s.
Oh, will have to check that out! Thanks.
Fantastic array of food on offer there Serg. I would be getting stuck into the seafood like there's no tomorrow.
Wow.....awsome!
p.s. the cheesecake you ate look a lot like japanese style.👍
It was fluffy and delicious!
Nice food and happy to see your wife 💞💞
lol. Glad yon enjoyed it.
Good review. As a foodie I appreciate that you present many of the dishes. Cheers.
It was my pleasure. See you next time.
Looks absolutely amazing 😋🤤
It was!
My love for buffets ended after all those unlimited buffet back in Canada like Mandarin and Frankie Tomatoes, I tried here in south east Asia and meanwhile food was great I just don’t enjoy stuffing myself with bunch of foods and feeling sleepy I prefer ordering what I know I will finish in one sitting and go for a nice walk afterwords.
For those who likes buffet you must visit Spiral in Manila for me it’s probably the best buffet I ever had in my 50 years.
I probably do these buffets two or three times a year maximum. Like you said, you just end up stuffing yourself like crazy at these things.
@@LifewithSerg exactly Serg, thanks for prompt reply my friend.
Yes, Best buffet I’ve had in Bangkok was at the JW Marriott just past soi 4 absolutely excellent.
I’ve had a few good buffets in Manila back in the early days, one being the Manila midtown next to Robertson’s, which is now gone, a five star motel. The other one was the Manila hotel opposite Luneta park where General MacArthur stayed. And one of the best ones actually it’s along Pedro Gill diagonally opposite G point and it’s called dads kamayan
Nice video Serg! I had Thanksgiving dinner there last November, I think I sat at the same table 🤣. The turkey was so so but everything else in the buffet was really good.
Yeah, I had a Thanksgiving at another place here last year. It also was just so so.
Two hours well spent. Enjoy your day.😊
Definitely want to get my moneys worth it lol
Wow, that buffet looked awesome. I probably would have eaten more than you. 😂And those desserts looked so good. Definitely would have gained a few pounds at this place.
Challenge accepted. Lol. If you’re still in Bangkok when I return, we need to go hit one of the other grand buffets together.
@@LifewithSerg As long as the grand price is around 300 baht.🤣Looking forward to the buffet challenge. See ya soon.
I wish I could eat like I used to but two plates and I'd be done. It all looks sooo good. We go to the Brazilian steakhouses here in Austin and after that it's time out for grandpa.
There’s a Brazilian steakhouse here as well. It’s really good. Trust me I only do this two or three times a year. I could eat like this at a regular basis. I’d be like 350 pounds.
What an awesome video- go Serg and Sue - 🇦🇺tegards
Thanks! The next timeline motorbike tour starts tomorrow!
Crab legs! I could eat crab legs everyday!! So much fun! Made me hungrrry!!
It was soo good!
😎👍🇺🇲
We really appreciate the "sacrifice" 🤨 to be forced to eat all that yummy food just for the video.
😆
It 5am here. I had oral surgery a few weeks ago and can't eat hardly anything solid, so jealous. 😒
Cheers brother ✌️
Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that brother. If it makes you feel any better when I was 17, I had my wisdom teeth pulled two weeks before Thanksgiving. I don’t know what my parents were thinking! I was sucking down milkshakes while they were eating turkey.
@@LifewithSerg
Sorry but that doesn't help 😫
😁
I can only eat what I can put in my mouth in small bite sizes pieces and mush with my tongue.
Really limits the options.
Soups and softs.
I miss tacos 😔
Nevertheless, that was a great video and she's is great company.
Great energy and bubbly attitude.
Cheers to you both ✌️🥂
I wish you a speedy recovery, sir!
Good review ,next time try Eastin hotel, infinite lobster, abalone noodle and infinite seafood just only 70 usd.
That sounds great, I’ll give it a try
I'll be sure to visit with my wife Serg but not before I've had a tooth extracted.
Out of curiosity was there a time limit?
Surprisingly, there was no time limit. They were open from 12 to 3 and we got there right as they opened and we left at about 240. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. We had gone to the Goji buffet a few weeks prior. I felt this one was much better, more intimate, and the service was 10 times better than at Goji.
Great review. I would’ve gone all out on the macaroons
Omg. We ended up being there for almost 3 hours. Sooo fat! Lol
Hi, what was it you booked on their website, was it the Sunday Brunch or the Buffet?
This was definitely the buffet
Looks nice. You should try Copper Buffet in Pinklao next. It's about the same price range, but the vibe feels a lot more expensive than here (not that that's a good or a bad thing)
I think it’s going to be a while before I decide to stuff myself like that. But I’ve heard good things of Copper.
I've heard bad things about it. Never visited though I live nearby.
@@30allarox i enjoyed it - took my staff there for a team dinner
Near the top of my list, next time I am in Bangkok.
Honestly, this is the best one I have tried so far. I know that there are more expensive ones, but as far as elegance and atmosphere and relaxation while you enjoy your food, this takes the cake.
Enjoying your video's with su
Great! I’m leaving on my motorbike trip tomorrow so videos for the next 4 to 6 weeks will be just me on a trip to the north and East regions of Thailand
I agree it looks great. But, I think you need to try the ale Meridian also in Bangkok! They have a BBQ that is fantastic!
The next time I feel like gaining a couple of kilograms, I’ll definitely go and try that one. Lol.
Your buffet was so good I cancelled my ELV installation tomorrow
Ha ha ha.
$90 is fair for that. Food looked great, nice place nice view
It might not be the fanciest looking place, but we were never rushed, the staff came by all the time to take away our dirty plates, forks and knives and replace them with clean ones, and the whole experience was just excellent
That look really good, was it worth compare to regular buffet x 10 time, LoL, pls go to try Bai Yok Sky tower buffet next time mate, Thanks for sharing!
Hey, thank you for the suggestion
We just had this conversation at my daughter’s house. The things you said were macaroons are actually macrons.. macaroons are different.. LOL 😂 😊
Oh yes. You are so correct. I do love both. All that food slowed my brain down.
@@LifewithSergLOL can you believe I haven’t ever tried macrons? So expensive.. I guess that’s because they’re not easy to make. So fun to watch you enjoy all this yummy food!
Wow, nice buffet, Serg! Where is the best buffet you tried in the world?
Hmmmm. Good question. For food it was Las Vegas. For ambiance it was the Continental hotel in Berkeley, California.
@@LifewithSergCool, man! I didn't know, the States had nicer buffets than this
Do they let you sleep between meals?
Omg that’s hilarious. 😂
The things you for us , lots of food 😃😃
It’s a tough job. Lol
Love me some food videos. Nothing wrong with splurging now and then.
Yeah, I can do this like two or three times a year. Mainly because I just eat way too much when I go to these buffets. Glad you enjoyed this video.
Actually that is pretty reasonable! Great vid. Cheers
It was very good!
We are definitely going here! Thanks for sharing!
It’s a great place, I highly recommend just coming there when they open at noon because there’s a good chance you’ll stay almost till when they close at three. That’s what we ended up doing.
Serg had some...Raspberry Sorbet, the kind you find at the grocery store
Good ole Prince. He is missed.
Su treated you, right? Because you are a super value guy.
This was my treat. I like to spend money on things I enjoy, but I keep a low profile.
being a stock trader myself, if someone that has a good understanding of the stock market will need more ways to spend money than the money they bring in. i'm 49 and retired. i'm sure mr serg as smart as he is with money will not even care about a 90$ buffet. not trying to up anyone, i'm just putting 2 and 2 together.
All you can eat buffets are definitely worth it even at $90 if you're an omnivore with a big appetite 👍
I can do this a couple times a year at most. But it’s definitely worth a try every once in a while.
@@LifewithSerg Damn right. Life's too short 👊
Sorry to hear about your glasses! Is that not how it always happens.. lol😂😂😂
Yeah, unfortunately, that’s how it goes. Lol
I would recommend Goji Buffet because there are more varieties at similar price.
We went there a few weeks ago. It was disappointing. This was hands down much better. Try it!
How did you put all that away. I felt full just watching you two .😅😅
We were there for almost 3 hours. lol. I was so full.
OMG! How did you do this?!
Yeah, ate way too much. Lol
Current price for dinner buffet is 2,118 baht per person including tax. So $62 USD.
Thanks for watching
Wait, quail eggs are vegetables? I never got the memo. lol. Thanks for the great video.
lol. She’s vegetarian, not vegan. 😂 The buffet definitely got their moneys worth from her. Fortunately, I was there to assist. Ha ha
I ave soo much fun❤
Oh good!
Ouch very pricey… But what a fantastic place to go on a date!
It’s definitely not a cheap meal. However, I definitely thought it was worth it because we stayed there for close to three hours. You got a treat yourself every once in a while.
Butter chicken 👍
An that was sooo good!
wow :D nice, seems like something I would try :D
Oh it’s so good!
yummy yummy
Thank you 😋
Both food and video are high quality!!💯💖
Thank you very much, I’m really glad to know you enjoyed it
Wow look like different hotel in apple Ads😂
Ha ha ha. I saw that “commercial” this morning.
I like Lord Jim's in Mandarin Oriental hotel. More expensive than Rain Tree
I’ve heard that is a good one. When I return from my month-long motorbike trip I think I will give that a try.
กุ้งแม่น้ำ อร่อยตรงมันที่หัวกุ้งครับ
It’s just not something that I’m used to eating coming from a western country. But I love the tails!
The Athenee Hotel - Sukhumvit Road. Bangkok. When in Bangkok always go there for Sunday Lunch. I haver never paid that much??? I JUST NOTICED YOUR SAYING IT'S THE SHANGRI-LA HOTEL. You sure???? Unless it was bought out from Athenee Hotel?
I never said Shangri La. This is a buffet lunch. You definitely did not eat there if you didn’t pay close to that. I think you must have gone to a different place.
Not bad value when you consider it was probably the equivalent to 3 or 4 meals :0. I assume it was an "all you can eat" ticket!
We stayed there for 2 1/2 hours. The atmosphere in this buffet was very relaxed and the service was just top-notch.
Funny how such an upscale venue like this doesn't have a dress code 🤔
None of them do. Thai men go into all these places in flip flops and shorts as well.
Usa Chicago 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hello
Salmon is way better in Thailand. Tuna you gotta go to Japan for.
I completely agree. It’s hard to find good tuna here.
Worth mentioning Eatigo 50% off.
I found the website to be pretty much useless.
@@LifewithSerg really? I've used it over 100 times and never had any issues. For this buffet, and most others, you just need to eat towards the ending times.
You can really eat man
Once in a while. Lol
5 days worth of caloric intake there.
Heck yeah!
The comments about your glasses. Did I miss something?
Yeah, I was supposed to leave on my motorbike trip today and I broke my glasses yesterday. Due to a few other issues I’ve decided to postpone my motorbike trip until tomorrow. Stay tuned, this going to be lots of cool content from that.
Las Vegas.... Buffets
Oh those are so good!
Were you comp’ed the meals which could taint your review, I don’t think so - but would provide full disclosure and make your review more meaningful.
What are you talking about? I paid for this out of my own pocket. Where did I say the meals were comped? I’m not feeding into your delusion here. Luckily for you, I’m all out of virtue signaling awards this week. I gave them out to all the other trolls.
@ Just asking my gosh no need to get upset - I didn’t hear you say you paid for the meals yourself so I just asked a simple question - it was a good review by you.
They are ALL French oysters.
Oops
😊😊😊😊😊
👍🙃
🤤
👍✌️😊
Ok, 6500 Baht for two. That's one week's rent, not one month. Or one night at the Athenee. :)
It absolutely is a months rent in some areas of Bangkok. I have friends who have condos that cost ฿6000. They’re a few MRT stops from city center and they’re 32 m² with air conditioning, with a pool and gym. Older building of course, but it is absolutely doable.
I have to invite my wife
Do it!
I just can’t eat enough to bother with a buffet
I have friends like that, it would be a really bad thing for them. Amazingly Sue, although she’s a vegetarian loves buffets.
Your headline is misleading. 3k baht/90USD per person is definitely not more than a month's rent.
There are places you can rent for ฿3000. Thanks for watching.
@@LifewithSerg Out of curiosity, I looked on Hipflat and Dotproperty...then filtered it by max 3000baht. Are you kidding me? Any foreigner who's living like this is struggling financially. An entry level decent condo is only 10000-14000 baht. A lot of foreigners have also have videos of them paying only 10000-14000 baht their condo. Again, your headline is misleading...you make it seem like the buffet is going to be at least 10000 baht per person. However, paying 3000 baht for the buffet and saying, "more than a month's rent"...is clickbait.
Hello
Hello!
I was there twice for a buffet.
This is not the most expensive buffet and not even close to a month rent in BKK.
Peninsula and JW Marriott cost more ( twice was in both places)
I just put out a video on the JW Marriott buffet. That one is cheaper and, in my opinion, lower quality. I also said that brunch for two here cost more than rent in a lot of places in Bangkok. I have several Thai friends who live in condos that cost 2000, 4000 and 7000 THB per month. So it’s absolutely doable.
How is this the most expensive buffet in Bangkok? There are a number that are more...like the 10k one at copper or wisdom that you have to preorder
Thanks for watching
The famous one is Copper and Wisdom and Great harbour at Icon Siam is great too for just 1000++ price tag you will be surprised
Will have to check them out!
in a T-Shirt??????????? obviously this special 'expensive' (one month's rent) moment doesn't even extend to dressing up a little... lke wear a shirt?
I’m sorry I forgot to check with you before I live my life. Will do better next time Dad. 🙄
Why would you care what another grown man is wearing? That's weird.
Agreed with you.Why should care you dress the way you feel comfortable,not to impress anyone.Its your wallet that counts!
Common guy, we are in the tropical country. T-shirts are the best hereeee
Wow
So good!
😍
🙃👍
Referred to you as the bottomless pit X1......I doubt that maybe 2 or 3 times.....just joking....Matt & Lucy from Scottsdale...High only 105 today.....
I can’t believe how much I ate at that place. We stayed there for almost 3 hours. I was sure to get my moneys worth. Ha ha. Only 105? Turn up that heat guys. Lol.
While most of that food... ok all of that food... looked amazing, I don't see $90 value, even if that was in the US.
Perhaps you haven’t been to a buffet like this before, but this is very typical prices in the US as well.
@@LifewithSerg I have. Many. And it's a $50-60 buffet at best. Still good looking food. But think about what food you can order, made to order, at a high end restaurant in Thailand for $90 per person.
Serg it's about time you took your girlfriend out for a decent meal.
What makes yon think it’s the first time? 🤔
Leave your food on the table. Nobody is going to take it away from you.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Thanks for watching.
@@LifewithSerg You kept picking things up with your left hand and eating with your right. I don't care... it's your video
You say you don’t care, but apparently you really really do. 🙃 there’s more important things in life Tom. Take care.
First problem: Couldn't make out the name of the hotel, despite replaying whatever you said 3 times.
Second problem: The old "watch to the end of the video" bullshit to get important information like price.
Pass.
Such angry. 😂🤣
@@LifewithSerg Not angry, just sick of looking at content thinking it might be good and it's nothing more than clickbait bullshit. You suck.
A month's rent in Thailand? I don't think so... not even close. Unless of course, you want to compare a fancy brunch in Bangkok to renting a shack somewhere in rural Thailand. Most folks who live in that neighborhood are dropping between $40 k baht to $80 K baht for monthly rent. Do the review but avoid the click bait titles.
Nowhere in this video did I say it was condos in that neighborhood. I personally know many Thai people who live in condos that cost ฿4000 to ฿7000. They’re 32 m² condos in older buildings not right in the middle of city center. This is not a clickbait title at all. You just made an assumption that I was talking about living in that neighborhood, when I never said such a thing. Thanks for watching.
@@LifewithSerg Most Thai people I know in Bangkok pay 3,000-4,000 baht per month for rent. But this is without aircon or internet or a bunch of other amenities most of us would consider essential. Is that the target audience for your luxury Sunday brunch? Just compare apples to apples... How much does the average consumer of such a restaurant pay in rent.... that is a much fairer comparison. I can compare the cost of a fancy restaurant meal in Manhattan, NY to the monthly cost of a rundown basement apartment in the Bronx. Same city. But is that a fair comparison?
@rdefacendis you’re reading into this way too deep. The fact of the matter is that yes this is still more expensive than what a lot of people pay for rent here. Have a nice day. ✌️
Not something I enjoy feeling like a bowling ball after eating so much food I prefer 50 baht street food but thanks for doing the hard work for us viewers!! Very dedicated
We were there for almost 3 hours and definitely ate our fill. I like street food every once in a while as well. I just like to mix things up. Thank you for watching Mike!
@@LifewithSerg good experience
A month's rent? Meh.
lol. I’ve seen a bunch of condos for under ฿6000 that had air-conditioning, separate bedrooms, private bathrooms and were furnished. You just have to get out of the central area.
Chaeng Wattana-Pak 28 , maybe, not me B5300 @@LifewithSerg
P.S. I love the area. Refreshing to be away from Sukh 3-11.
Classic clickbait.
All that eating, your definitely an American.
It’s “you’re”. 🙃
Sorry, but that amount of food makes me sick. Disgusting😜
Thanks for watching.
Stopped exaggerating, There are over 60 buffet places around Bangkok. $ 200.00 for two that is cheap. I prefer Landmark Atrium Sunday Brunch.
It’s “stop exaggerating”. If you’re going to troll, at least get your grammar correct.
@@LifewithSerg You americantz love Banggggkock, Go home to your despicable WOKE country. Pedophile !!!
