The place is quite large, and the crowd registered and selected their main courses in an orderly fashion before the start, so basically you have something to eat as soon as you enter. The taste is excellent, and the à la carte dishes are better than the ones you get outside. I would visit again!

Tried out the recently trending Copper Beyond🤭 Rumored to be Thailand's top-tier buffet😘 Let's just call it Bangkok's version of [Upscale Buffet]😅🤣 Today we went with the 9th-anniversary package ฿1999 gets you one premium main course I chose the lobster tail and limited-edition foie gras...so rich and delicious(?)😛 Seems like the other option was Korean soy-marinated crab with rice (...huh?😅) Lots of dishes～most are made-to-order and brought to your table There's also a self-serve area Um...the Japanese food needs some work😅 But the Thai-style raw seafood salad (shrimp, squid, oysters) are all amazing😋👍 A bit special, they also have boat noodles (with real pig's blood, sob😓) And I really loved the crab curry noodles～so good👍 Everything is a mix～eating all kinds of Western and Asian food together🤣😅 Also, their Thai papaya salad has a version with raw crab Uh...I kept thinking of VanVicker's "If you have good intentions, you won't get sick" But in the end, I didn't have the courage...🤣🤣🤣 After all, I'm already full of bad stuff, good intentions won't help😢😥 Because the picture is literally a whole raw crab😩 ps. Bought the vouchers on Klook Originally thought it would be cheaper...but the conversion seems to be the original price～🥹 But at least I can get credit card rewards🤪

Free access to the onsen and sauna is available, and there's also parking. I drove here this time for business at the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), so I looked for a hotel with parking. There are three hotels in this area, but the one next to 7-Eleven doesn't have parking, so I stayed here. Luckily, I came when they're offering free access to the onsen and sauna just for checking in. It's a shame it's only for men, but it's still great value. The front door opens at 11 AM, but you can exit through the main door by the parking lot, which is open 24 hours. I hope they continue to offer free onsen promotions like this!
