Where to pig out tonight on American-style Thanksgiving eats

What do you know about Thanksgiving? The American holiday, which basically celebrates British settlers stealing the land of Native Americans, has grim origins but has resulted in a happy, fat feast for Americans across their country and across the world.

Think turkey, family, friends, football on the TV, stretchy pants, one person getting obnoxiously drunk and everyone passed out on the sofa in a food coma by 5pm.

While American expats might not be able to create that total experience here in Bangkok, our favorite expat supermarkets make sure to stock up on all the canned pumpkin and cranberries they might need to try it at home. You can even order a massive frozen turkey — though prices seem to start at about THB4,000.

If you want to pig out on turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole and all the other traditional dishes at a restaurant, there are many Bangkok establishments serving it up tonight.

Here are some of our faves:

Bunker (Sathorn)

New hotspot Bunker is offering a three-course meal for THB1,200 from 2pm until 10pm today. It includes turkey, many side dishes, and apple or pumpkin pie for dessert.
Reservations are necessary. Find out more on their event page.
 

Roadhouse (Silom)

From 12pm-11pm you can get a traditional Thanksgiving buffet for the bargain price of THB999 per person. The dishes in the buffet include: shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing, gravy, ham, salmon, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts and pumpkin pie.
 
Apparently, there is a discount for dining before 5pm. Reservations are needed. Find out more on their event page.
 

Chomp (Old Town)

This is the place to go if you have vegetarians in your Thanksgiving party since they have included many veggie-friendly dishes on their menu.

The main course is traditional slow-roasted turkey for meat-eaters and barbequed vegan duck for vegetarians.

Not only is the menu varied, it’s also really inexpensive. The all-your-can-eat buffet is THB450 and only THB650 if you want to add some seasonal booze to your dinner (namely, mulled wine and pumpkin spice martinis).

It starts at 6pm and reservations are required. Find out more on their event page.
 

Sunrise Tacos (Asoke, Silom, Nana locations)

Surprisingly, Sunrise Tacos offers up a good Thanksgiving meal to eat in or take home. For THB695 you can have  turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, apple walnut stuffing, vegetables, Caesar Salad, dinner rolls and apple, pumpkin, cherry or pecan pie.

They’ll be serving the same menu on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as well.
