At noon on Monday, Benjarong Thai restaurant was animated by a lovely crowd of diners from near and far.
The setting and location, a historic manor encased by landscaped gardens in the midst of Bangkok’s financial district, provided a graceful backdrop to the day’s mid-day meals.
The beautiful 7,200m² premises, known as Baan Dusit Thani, occupy a residential compound originally owned by one of Thailand’s wealthiest families. Within are a tennis court, swimming pool and a cluster of buildings, which are now home to four dining outlets under the Dusit International Group.
It was my third time visiting the place, and its charm never wears away.
Yet it was my first dining visit to Benjarong, despite its being open at this location for more than three years…
