Come on in! Let us show you round one of the finest cigar lounges in the world, perched on the top floor of the very exclusive Muse hotel in the Thai capital.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Muse inspires<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amid the joyous architectural chaos of Bangkok, The Muse is hard to spot first time around. A few short steps from Sukhumvit, the main shopping street, the most stylish hotel in the Thai capital has cultivated a sense of elegance. Subdued lighting, in a d\u00e9cor combining precious wood and volutes of wrought iron, where gold and black lacquer mingle with Asian design: F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s jazz years meet the reign of Rama V, the traveler-king who ushered the kingdom of Siam into the modern era.<\/p>\n

The hotel soon acquired its status as a top destination for gourmet tourists thanks to its Italian restaurant, Medici; as well as Babette\u2019s, one of the city\u2019s best steakhouses according to connoisseurs \u2013 although not the most expensive. Tea lovers \u2013 as well as those who prefer Martini \u2013 will feel at home in the Salon\u2019s cozy environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"An unrivalled speakeasy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When night falls, however, it\u2019s on the upper floors that it\u2019s all going down. Elevated cigar lounges abound in Bangkok, but the Speakeasy, which sees itself as a clandestine bar under the prohibition, is unrivalled. Its strengths include the electro-jazz soundtrack, tapas from all over the world, and champagne and cocktails, of course. But its real added value is the incredible view of the city you enjoy from little private domes provided to patrons.<\/p>\n

The Blind Pig: did you say luxury?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

An oasis\u00a0of peace in the commotion of the party: the Blind Pig, is a luxurious cigar lounge with its own terrace! The colonial-style decor is as elegant as it is spacious, and one instantly feels at home. Regulars even have the luxury of an embroidered silk jacket to protect their shirt from the smoke. Pretty sweet.<\/p>\n

Cigars don\u2019t come cheap in Thailand so don\u2019t forget to take a few sticks. At the Blind Pig, a Montecristo N\u00b0\u00a04<\/em> will set you back around 570 Bht (approx. \u20ac15) and a Romeo y Julieta Churchills<\/em> costs 1,250 Bht (just over \u20ac32). Beyond Cuba, the choice is limited to Dominican Cort\u00e8s or chocolate, vanilla or cherry-flavored Mexican Chicos\u2026 The bar stocks the most famous brands of whisky, rum, cognac, and armagnac. For example, an Islay single malt like the Bowmore 15 years will cost you 620 Bht (\u20ac16) and a Havana Club 7 years costs half that. Hardly excessive considering the sumptuous surroundings.<\/p>\n
