Thailand's Nighttime Outdoor Riverside Seafood BBQ Buffet

This is one of the first places I ate in Bangkok Thailand and while waiting for a friend to join me on this trip, I got a chance to do some exploring on my own. Sampling the amazing street food; a comforting bowl of noodles to the always favorite mango sticky rice, Bangkok is a food lover's paradise.
Venturing out on my own, I thought I'd give their local buffet a try; and the nice thing is, this buffet is on a riverside with gorgeous views, amazing food, and traditional Thai entertainment as well. A delicious dinner and a show! Great to find traditional local dishes from the savoury to the sweet. River prawns, oysters, and freshly grilled wagyu as your fingertips along with the live stations cooking up familiar favorites with BBQ (both western and eastern styles), steaming bowls of noodles, and hot naan right out of the tandoor; this is was a spectacular International buffet!

Sorry you got soaked Tim but a least there's a wonderful Buffet to enjoy at the end of the journey. Great food with some entertainment. Thanks for bringing us along 😊

It was some experience for sure, and a memorable one at that! It’s funny and Thailand, that you can be soaking wet in a downpour yet hot at the same time!😆

You turned a very soggy overture into a lovely dining experience. The buffet atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant without the hordes of people causing long waits. The pork ribs looked mouth watering and the desserts were colorful and so varied. Thank you for enduring that horrific ride in the rain and dining in wet clothing in order to bring us another wonderful video. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻

And keeping you somewhat safe. Motorbike, you wrapped your body around the motorbike, Not safe. Drivers around the world mostly I know are not good defense drivers, especially with cellphone and other devices that they are watching. That's why you see many people in country that you have visited walks around with a limp..... Because they were riding motorbikes. That's my two cents.
