Pacific City Club Bangkok Review: Inside a Quiet, Very Thai Members' Club, and How to Get In (7.5/10)

The short version: Pacific City Club is a quiet, private members’ club at the top of Two Pacific Place on Sukhumvit, right next to the Landmark Hotel. The best things about it are the service and the setting. Staff walk you to your table, and even to the bathroom, and the club is full of Thai art, wood and a grand staircase. I had Business Lunch Set A, ฿850++ for three courses. The chicken and the fruit were a 7.5, but the truffle soup wasn’t for me. 7.5 out of 10: a calm, very Thai place to work or bring people, if a member invites you.

I went for lunch on November 12, 2026, as the guest of a member, a family friend, who paid. It’s members only, so you need a member to invite you.

Getting in

The club is on the top floors of Two Pacific Place, building 2 of the Pacific building, right next to the Landmark Hotel. You can go in through any entrance of the building. Take the lift up to the 28th floor, and once you’re there, mention the member who invited you. As soon as you go in, they ask who you’re there for and walk you to them.

According to the club, it opened in 1995, and membership is by invitation, approved by an admission committee. The club doesn’t publish its fees, and I couldn’t find them anywhere. It also lists a gym, a spa, a salon, meeting rooms and Sai Si, a Cantonese restaurant, but I only saw the lunch side, so I can’t speak to those. The dress code is business or smart casual, with no jeans, shorts or flip-flops. The club is open daily, 7 am to 10 pm.

The setting: 7.5 out of 10

It’s a nice place, and I really liked it. It’s quite Thai in style, with a lot of brown interiors and wood. It’s two stories, with a grand staircase going up, and there’s a lot of Thai architecture and art, including portraits of Thai royal and historical figures.

It’s also quite open. There’s a little library area, which is nice, plus spaces for meetings, a bar and a cigar lounge lower down. It feels like a pretty open place with a lot of different Thai inspiration.

It was very quiet, which is kind of interesting to me, and there weren’t a lot of people there, which is quite nice. The one thing that keeps the score down a little is that I didn’t see the rest of the club.

Service: 8.5 out of 10

I really liked the service. Everybody was very warm and friendly. They walk you to the member you’re meeting, and when I asked where the bathroom was, they walked me there too. All the food came out fairly quickly, and lunch took about an hour in total.

The food: 7 out of 10

I ordered Business Lunch Set A: a truffle soup, grilled chicken and seasonal fruit, with coffee or tea. There’s also a Set B, with burrata salad and salmon or striploin, plus beef, chicken and à la carte dishes. I went with Set A because I thought it was the better value. My host had Set B, with the burrata salad and the striploin, and said both were good.

Truffle soup: 5 out of 10. I’m not a huge fan of truffle soup. It didn’t taste super flavorful, but it wasn’t bad.

Grilled chicken: 7.5 out of 10. I actually liked the chicken. It was soft and tender, with no bone, and it almost tasted a little like Hainanese chicken. It had a glaze, like a wine reduction, which I liked, and it was juicy. Overall, it paired well with the sauce.

Seasonal fruit: 7.5 out of 10. Pretty tasty and all fresh, especially the white one, the dragon fruit.

Coffee or tea comes with the set, but I don’t drink either, so I skipped it.

What it costs

Set A is ฿850++, about ฿1,000 or $30 with the 10% service charge and 7% tax. Set B is ฿1,200++. My host paid, so I didn’t see the bill.

Value: 7.5 out of 10

It’s a pretty good value for a three-course set menu in a private club. That said, each piece, the fruit, soup and chicken, isn’t really that expensive to make.

Vs. the Rockwell Club

It’s hard to compare them fully, because I didn’t see the pool, gym or other amenities here. But this one definitely feels more like a place where you can actually work and invite people. The Rockwell Club in Manila didn’t really have working spaces, but it has a pool. This one didn’t seem to have a pool, and it had more working spaces in a pretty big restaurant area.

Both feel like their countries. The Rockwell Club feels very Manila, especially outside: the view of the Rockwell neighborhood, a lot of palm trees, and classic Manila-style architecture. Pacific City Club has very Thai brown tones and Thai artwork. It’s also in more of a hustle and bustle area, while the Rockwell Club is in a residential neighborhood.

Verdict: 7.5 out of 10

It’s a cool place. It’s quiet and calm, with very good service and a very Thai feel. It’s a nice place to work or to bring people, especially if your office is nearby or you’re staying in the area. It could almost work like an office.
