Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok Sunday Brunch

It took a while for the concept of Sunday buffet brunch to catch on in Bangkok, simply because “Thais eat mini meals," says Chef McDang. "Brunch is a very Western concept."

But caught on it has, with the Four Seasons edging out some stiff competition to top our list of Best Brunches.

As business owner and Best Eats judge Suki points out, the table service and pure selection gives it the advantage.

You don't have to line up and wait for the chefs to prepare your dishes. Simply leave a card with your table number on it and they'll bring it to you when it's ready.

Just be sure to pace yourself. The granddaddy of Bangkok brunches, the Four Seasons lays out dozens of serving tables that groan beneath the weight of fresh Sydney rock oysters, lobster, Indian, pasta, Middle Eastern kebabs, lamb chops, steak, veal, roast duck, cheeses, sushi and caviar.

And because Sunday calories don't count, the dessert table includes tiramisu and peach creme brulee. Even for a five-star hotel, this brunch is extravagant.

Wash it all down with champagne or mimosas and your Sunday afternoon just got a whole lot more interesting.
