Afternoon Tea at The Author’s Lounge, Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

The famous afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok is a must-visit spot, and it was a favorite of the renowned writer Somerset Maugham. The lounge is exquisitely decorated, offering a luxurious ambiance. You can make online reservations for either the midday or afternoon time slots.

Visiting at noon, the place is not crowded, with only about three to four tables occupied, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the Thai-style set menu is particularly recommended. The portions are generous, almost reaching the level of a full meal. The red tea is aromatic and pairs perfectly with the dishes.

The cost is approximately 2,200 THB per person, making it an ideal spot to enjoy during a Dragon Boat Festival holiday trip to Bangkok.
