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.

Glad to see my posting on the 1977 execution found its way to your site. I have linked your blog with mine. I have a wealth of stories from Thailand 1975-78 and will be glad to share them with your readers.

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.

Not sure which of your readers is going to miss the PCC?

(BD: For many of our dear leaders here this is breaking news.)

No, that’s a rumor, Pacific City Club is alive and well, just closed for some renovation …

Funny how rumors start …

I hear they are open in a couple of weeks …

(BD: They were supposed to reopen on February 27th … Funny how some try to counter a “rumor” … There’s no money for the higher rent, that’s it. As long as there’s no new investor, no reopening.)

I dont know about that … from what I hear is that since Lehman Bros went bankrupt (have the management rights to the buildings), it has been difficult to negotiate with them, I know because I have friends who have offices in Pacific Place. It has nothing to do with higher rent …

(BD: No rumors, got family there. Under the old ownership rent was free. No longer, now the club officially went into bankruptcy. Did you get the letter sent to members?)
