Cape and Kantary - The Grill Room


Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the Cape and Kantary Properties - . In this edition - Pages 55-57 one writer visited KantaryHotel in Korat for a succulent steak.

Should you find yourself with a hankering for a steak, don’t hesitate to check out TheGrill Room. This is the city’s premier rooftop steakhouse, it features not only the best meat and cocktails that the town has to offer, but also spectacular views of Korat in sophisticated surroundings. 


Try beef in all its iterations – flavourful tartare, delicate carpaccio, a giant grilled Porterhouse – as well as seafood and Thai dishes. Definitely worth a detour if you’re in the area; even yet, why not plan a whole trip around this budding dining destination at Kantary Hotel Korat ?

It’s certainly a welcome change of scenery from your usual steakhouses.

Today’s post is by Tom and Anna - https://www.adventureinyou.com - and is about the Thailand Bucket List: Guide to Exploring the best of Thailand - https://www.adventureinyou.com/thailand/bucket-list-guide/

Today we will share with you their list of things to do in Bangkok & Central Thailand.

While Bangkok is a big metropolitan city, however, if you venture just a little bit further, you will be pleasantly surprised with quiet neighborhoods and pleasant historical gold mines like the UNESCO heritage sites in Ayutthaya or the beautiful wildlife by Khao Yai National Park.



1: Visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok and marvel at the intricately designed temples and palaces – this is a must for everyone who visits Bangkok - https://goo.gl/maps/kre2eEaHhEL2

5: Watch a Traditional Muay Thai fight – not for the squeamish

6: Shop till you drop in Chatuchak Market - https://youtu.be/ndeLupPn7Og -  and many of Bangkok’s Traditional markets – remember to bring an empty bag with you or a rucksack and check the items fit in your suitcase when you go home – please remember Buddha figurines are not for decoration and will be confiscated by the Airport Officials.

7: Eat your weight in Pad Thai, Tom Yum and all the other delicious Thai street food – this is everywhere!


8: Visit the Historic City of Ayutthaya – a place which is submerged in culture and history - https://goo.gl/maps/otPDkKwQjZP2
