Bangkok For The Well-Heeled: Members-Only Pacific City Club

It’s that place in town that needs no advertising. Well, it can’t advertise. It’s a members-only club. Not that type of private club with bar-fines though. But a classy business club with no walk-ins, no tourists in slippers and shorts:

Bangkok’s Pacific City Club is a safe haven for the epikureer and gourmand. The offspring of the redundant Heritage Club remains the only British-style business club in town besides the Bangkok Club @ Sathorn.

Chances were some time ago that you met HE Queen Sirikit herself dining at Pacific City Club. Thaksin Shinawatra remains a member there, but didn’t have much chance lately to enjoy the club’s glass-enclosed Wine Room.

Former prime minister Anand Panyarachun is a habitué of the club. Expats, the local high society, the powerful and famous – they’re the regulars at this mildly stuffy club with the two exquisite restaurants: The western Pacific Bar & Grill and the Sai Si Palace serving Chinese food.

Pacific City Club serves Bangkok’s well-heeled since the early 1990s, when prominent business figures recognized the need for an exclusive private establishment in the city center where they could feel at home.
There’s the library, fitness club and legendary wine-tasting each last Thursday of the month.

There’s the ritual breakfast to kick off your day with punch. Lunch menus are reasonably priced and the À la carte menu is constantly innovated.

With its location near the Landmark Hotel right on Sukhumvit you’re in the heart of town, never far away from your daily routine.

Host your friends and business partners with style.

Membership doesn’t come free. But a club under the chairmanship of HE Khun Arsa Sarasin, the King’s Principal Private Secretary and a former foreign minister, may turn out to be a well rewarding experience, not to speak of the networking possibilities.

    The Pacific City Club went bankrupt today, Friday 27th, 2009.

    At 3 pm in the afternoon doors were locked and water and electricity cut off.

    Club’s looking for an investor, but at a monthly rent of 2 million baht …

    Sorry for the staff.
