Colonnade, Bangkok

There are hotel breakfasts, and then there is breakfast at The Colonnade. Set beneath soaring ceilings with elegant columns and sunlit windows, the space is as grand as it is inviting—a place where mornings unfold with a sense of occasion. At The Sukhothai Bangkok, the first meal of the day is not simply about fuelling up; it’s about indulging in a ritual that captures the spirit of the hotel’s understated luxury.

The buffet here has achieved something of a legendary status, and it doesn’t take long to see why. It is a lavish spread that seems endless, yet never excessive, each section thoughtfully curated to celebrate both Thai culinary heritage and international favourites. Start the morning with tropical fruits glistening like jewels, then move on to silky congee topped with crisp shallots, fiery chilli, or pickled vegetables—a comforting Thai breakfast classic done to perfection. Nearby, steaming baskets of dim sum and delicate dumplings beckon, while golden pastries and still-warm breads tempt with their buttery fragrance.

The live cooking stations are a particular highlight, with chefs at the ready to whip up eggs any style, delicate crêpes or traditional Thai noodle soups. There’s also an artistry in how global flavours sit side by side without ever clashing; Japanese miso soup, European charcuterie, Indian curries and fresh-pressed juices all find their place in this morning theatre of abundance. The service, too, is exemplary—attentive without intrusion, with staff anticipating needs before you even glance up from your coffee.

But what truly elevates The Colonnade breakfast is the feeling it creates. There is a sense of leisure here, a slowing down that encourages you to linger, to taste a little of everything, and to savour the simple joy of beginning the day well. Whether you’re an early riser slipping in before a day of business, or a weekend guest luxuriating in the luxury of time, breakfast at The Colonnade is an experience that stays with you long after the last sip of coffee.

It is, in every sense, breakfast as it should be—an elegant celebration of the morning, delivered with the warmth and refinement that only The Sukhothai can provide.
