Lunch at Baiyoke Sky Hotel
Since Isabelle’s birthday is just around the corner, we decided to celebrate her birthday earlier at the international and Japanese buffet restaurant at Baiyoke Sky Hotel.

Yeap, I’m the “star” of the day.
Baiyoke Sky Hotel is the tallest building in Thailand, but of course, it’s not really that tall as comparing to other buildings.
Nonetheless, hubby wanted to bring the kids here since they haven’t been here before. We spent some time at the observation deck at 77th floor first, before heading to the restaurant at 76th floor.

The kids checking out Bangkok city from the top.

Justin loves the binoculars, but I think he’s not aiming at the right spot due to his height.

Hubby gave Isabelle a hand because she’s not tall enough to reach the binoculars.

Oh ya, mommy snapped a lot of photos, as usual…
The buffet restaurant was quite packed with tourists, and most of them are foreigners. My kids spotted a clown who made cute balloons, and they wanted to snap photos with her too.

Isabelle and the clown.

Isabelle’s waiting eagerly for her balloon.

Both kids love the balloons.
Even if it’s buffet, but hubby and I could not eat in peace.
I think both of us kept accompanying the kids to the washroom, to pick their food and to keep them from wandering around. LOL!

Since it’s my early birthday lunch, I want some orange juice….I want ice-cream….I want jelly….I want all my favorite food! (Luckily, mommy is smart enough to get her some macaroni and soup first before she could eat all those “junks”.)
But then, I found a way of keeping them busy while we could eat…I gave Justin a camera, and Isabelle used hubby’s phone to snap photos.
I was quite surprised to see the photos taken by Justin when I uploaded them. Check out his photos! I swear I never edit anything!






And many more! None of the photos are blur or shaken. Not bad huh? And obviously, the photos were taken as his eye view. LOL! Before he could continue to snap more of the food (which he couldn’t reach anyway), he was asked to keep the camera away because they don’t allow anyone to snap photo of the food served.
Don’t be surprised if you are asked to keep your camera away at restaurants in Bangkok. You can snap photos of those dining together with you, maybe the food you are having, but not those being served or displayed. But if you look totally like angmoh, maybe there is an exception?
After filling up our tummies, we went to the revolving roof deck at 84th floor.

At 84th floor! The view is nice, I bet it’s even nicer at night.
Both kids were a bit uneasy at first, especially when the wind was blowing strongly.

The naughty daddy asked me to snap a photo of the crying Isabelle who’s so scared of the height and wind.

On the other hand, Justin was doing well after awhile, and he began “investigating” how the revolving deck works.
Since Isabelle doesn’t like it, we went downstairs just after a round. There is a bar at 83rd floor, and we spent some time enjoying some coffee. Or I should say hubby and I enjoyed some coffee, while Justin complained that there is nothing in the menu for him! LOL!

What are we doing here? We don’t have anything to eat! Let’s go home la…
Actually, the kids were sleepy as it was way past their nap time. So, we left after finishing our coffee.

This place is nice…(she was actually crawling on the carpet between the sofas. I really no eye see…)
 In short, it’s a nice afternoon at Baiyoke, and most importantly, both kids enjoyed it a lot.

Hey, Justin’s shots are really not bad. Very nice actually. He has potential to be a great photographer…LOL!! And the balloon sculptures…so cute, I don’t mind having that
.
hey amy, we stayed in baiyoke sky hotel during our 1week vacation in bangkok years ago & i must agreed that their food was indeed good!! love the revolving deck too….
and that biggest playground, i must check it out the next time there, it will surely be a hit for the boys!!
Khongfamily, ya, I was so surprised, should nurture him if he’s interested.
Jacss, Baiyoke is indeed a nice hotel to stay due to its location huh?
ya, you should check out the playground!
Wow.. baiyoke is indeed good for food, view and stay. We stay there during our last trip to Bangkok in 2007. My son loves the enviroment there.. em.. they have a biggest playground in that hotel? Is it new? New heard about it leh… if we have a chance to go there.. will sure check up on that..
Em…. Amy, time to consider investing on Justin to take up photographing in a few years time… :p
Ellena, the playground is the one in previous post, it’s in Sukhumvit, not Baiyoke.
Justin has a camera, my old Casio, but he always forget to bring it out. So, I let him use my Canon some times. I guess if he’s interested, don’t mind letting him learn la. LOL!
Happy birthday, Belle! It’s been sometime we never met. But, looks like you guys have more fun than us in Penang. Ha!
