Photos by Paul Hutton


One of Bangkok�s most unique dining experiences just

got a little better. The mysteriously named Myth of

Mahanaga Restaurant has been revamped to provide

fresh impetus after more than 10 years of trade.

Providing a mix of Thai with Western influences, the

restaurant and bar gives diners and partygoers a great

choice of not only food and drinks, but atmosphere as

well, with al fresco areas, airconditioned interiors and

a two level bar. The décor again combines cultures,

with Thai styling comfortably blending in with Moroccan

designs. New cocktails have been created and ample

beer and wine choices are also on the drinks list.
