The venerable old Dusit Thani hotel, set for a date with the wrecking ball on Apr 16, 2018,  is currently running a Sunday brunch deal which has sent Bangkok’s lobster-devouring, sashimi-smashing buffet nuts into a frenzy.

From now through Aug 27, the hotel celebrates its 48th anniversary with 48-percent discount on the regular price of B2,800, bringing its three-hour free-for-all of pasta, steaks, oysters and—the real reason it’s so packed—all-you-can-eat lobster, down to just B1,714.

A whole lot of people have already got wind of the deal, meaning reservations are essential, and ensuring that you’ll have to deal with a hefty queue over at the seafood tower. Still, that’s a brunch deal that can’t be bettered. The only rub: no free-pour booze.
