For the seventh year running, Bangkok's top weekly lifestyle publication has given our readers, the city's most active, affluent and well-educated young professionals, the opportunity to tell us — and the world — who they like, love and hate, where and on what they're willing to spend their money, and what brands they're most loyal to, among other things.
This year's survey, posted on our portal, bkmagazine.com, consisted of 90 questions in categories covering restaurants, bars, spas, resorts and electronic goods, as well as some gauging public's opinion of politics and politicians, festivals, neighborhoods, public services and the like — both good and bad. (Long Table, for example, was voted Best New Restaurant [yay!] as well as Most Overrated Restaurant [oops!].) Some other highlights:
Sunday Brunch: Four Seasons
Outdoor Dining: Vertigo
Italian: Zanotti
Buffet: Oishi Grand
Best Drinks: Q Bar
Place to Chill: Nest
Live Music: Saxophone
Happy Hour: Coyote on Convent
Spa: Health Land
Resort: Let's Sea
Thai Destination: Chiang Mai
Foreign Destination: Japan
Inter Brand: Zara
Thai Brand: Greyhound
Gadget: iPhone
New thing: Bangkok Art and Culture Center
The full list of winners (and losers) with analysis of the results (plus maybe just a little of the opinionated commentary that BK is renowned for) will appear as the cover story in Friday's (January 30) BK Magazine. We'll also print the names of participating readers who were selected to receive a huge assortment of prizes worth over B200,000 including vacation packages and the latest gadgets.
All of this information will also of course be posted on our interactive website, bkmagazine.com. The website also offers the opportunity to voice your opinion on any of this year's choices; registration is required, but it takes just two minutes so long as you have a valid email address and phone number that we can use for verification purposes. (After all, it's never too early to start lobbying for next year!) In fact, you can leave comments on all of our stories — we read every single one of them (assuming they're not too profane), and select some for special recognition (prizes) and/or publication in BK Magazine.
