Shopping malls beckon in Bangkok BANGKOK THAILAND Michael Chick General manager, The Coffee Club Thailand BEST PLACE TO PARTY WITH THE GANG: Bed Supperclub (located in Soi 11) is a fashionable restaurant, club, gallery and live entertainment venue. Set in an all-white environment, this is a funky place to people-watch and be seen. INSIDER’S TIP: A trip to the famous Wat Po temple, home of the reclining Golden Buddha. A great way to get there is to catch the Sky Train to the river and jump onto a ferry. A must-do at Wat Po is to get a traditional Thai massage by one of the many trained blind masseuses. LOCAL DELICACY: A must-try is the mango sticky rice dessert. Delicious sweet mangoes are available all year around; these are served with some glutinous rice and coconut milk. MOST ROMANTIC SPOT: Enjoy the sunset and drinks at the Skybar located on the 63rd fl oor of the Dome at Lebua State Tower Building. The view of the city and the Chao Phraya River is spectacular.
