As the end of 2023 hurtles towards me, I am frantically typing up the 13th edition of my annual specialty coffee and food awards, in which I share my favourite coffee shops, eateries, bars and individual dishes from among those I visited for the first time in 2023 — in London and on my travels around the world.
During my two-week stay in Thailand I spent four days in the capital, Bangkok: three at the start of my trip and an evening and full day at the end. Bangkok is a large, sprawling city with so many things to do and places to eat, drink and shop.
My main holiday this year was a very long-awaited trip to Thailand. I spent two wonderful weeks in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Ko Lanta. First up is my specialty coffee guide to Bangkok, a city that has some seriously impressive, and beautiful, coffee spots.
