The St. Regis Bar

Perched on the 12th floor of The St. Regis Bangkok, this bar claims a prime view over the smart Royal Bangkok Sports Club – a dream spot for afternoon tea or a Sunday cocktail while the horses thunder round the track below. The long black marble counter is where it all happens. Drinks run from the fuss-free G&T to the properly historic bloody mary, first mixed at the St. Regis New York back in 1934. And the Bangkok crew give that tomato-based classic a local twist, lacing it with a hit of Thai spice that wakes the whole thing right up.
