Charming restaurant-cum-wine bar, Lake House (18 Soi Prommitr, Sukhumvit Soi 39, 02-662-6349) is back, as promised, after long repairs when a tree on their property fell over during a storm, leaving locals at a loss for where to chill away their evenings. They reopen their doors Nov 1, with some improvements: a tuktuk service between Asoke and Thong Lo, an extensive winelist from GranMonte, a new menu and, on Nov 5, a Jacob’s Creek party with free flow wine and tapas 7:30-9:30pm (B600 per person).
