Live stations sit along the perimeter and the seating fills the center; the format is buffet-first, with the kitchen working in front of you across the international, Chinese, and Thai sections.\n\nMornings open at 6 AM. The international breakfast buffet runs to 10:30 and lists at THB 419++, with a floating breakfast option at the hotel pool priced at THB 850++ per couple as the alternative.\n\nThe weekend service is where the menu earns its reputation. Saturday and Sunday lunch opens 12 to 2:30 PM. Friday through Sunday dinner runs 5:30 to 10 PM. Two Chinese buffet tiers anchor those services: a Signature Chinese Buffet and a Premium Chinese Buffet, with the premium tier adding unlimited giant river prawns and a suckling pig station. Dim sum across both tiers is the dish the room is built around.\n\nFamilies pay less than they expect. Children under six eat free; ages six to twelve pay half. For a couple bringing two small kids the math lands closer to a two-person bill than a four-person one.\n\nFor a single weekday visit, the breakfast service is the easier on-ramp. For a weekend, jump straight to the premium dinner and order the prawns.","our_take":"Aim for the weekend service when the Signature and Premium Chinese buffets open and the dim sum range is fully on. If you have kids, the under-6-free policy makes the room one of the friendlier buffet economics in the Siam corridor. Step up to the premium tier if you want the suckling pig and the giant river prawns unlimited.","custom_description":null,"hook":"The Square is the international buffet anchor inside Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square, themed around Thai street markets and leaning hard on Chinese dim sum and giant river prawns as the headline format. Breakfast runs from 6 AM at THB 419++, with a weekend lunch and weekend dinner buffet stacked above it.","meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_image":null,"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","canonical_url":null,"is_featured":false,"is_verified":true,"amenities":["Toilet","Wi-Fi","Service options: On-site services","Service options: Dine-in","Offerings: All you can eat","Offerings: Organic dishes","Offerings: Salad bar","Offerings: Small plates","Offerings: Vegetarian options","Dining options: Breakfast","Dining options: Lunch","Dining options: Dinner","Dining options: Dessert","Dining options: Seating","Dining options: Table service","Highlights: Great dessert","Highlights: Great tea selection","Crowd: Family friendly","Crowd: Groups","Crowd: Tourists","Parking: Free multi-storey car park","Parking: On-site parking","Parking: Paid multi-storey car park","Parking: Parking"],"property_specs":null,"features":{"Crowd":{"Groups":true,"Tourists":true,"Family friendly":true},"Parking":{"Parking":true,"On-site parking":true,"Free multi-storey car park":true,"Paid multi-storey car park":true},"Children":{"High chairs":true,"Good for kids":true,"Has changing table(s)":true},"Payments":{"Debit cards":true,"Credit cards":true,"NFC mobile payments":true},"Planning":{"Accepts reservations":true,"Lunch reservations recommended":true,"Dinner reservations recommended":true},"Amenities":{"Wi-Fi":true,"Toilet":true},"Offerings":{"Salad bar":true,"Small plates":true,"Organic dishes":true,"All you can eat":true,"Vegetarian options":true},"Atmosphere":{"Cosy":true,"Casual":true,"Trendy":true,"Upmarket":true},"Highlights":{"Great dessert":true,"Great tea selection":true},"Popular for":{"Lunch":true,"Dinner":true,"Solo dining":true},"Accessibility":{"Assistive hearing loop":false,"Wheelchair-accessible toilet":false,"Wheelchair-accessible seating":true,"Wheelchair-accessible car park":true,"Wheelchair-accessible entrance":true},"Dining options":{"Lunch":true,"Dinner":true,"Dessert":true,"Seating":true,"Breakfast":true,"Table service":true},"Service options":{"Dine-in":true,"Delivery":false,"Takeaway":false,"On-site services":true}},"attributes":{},"faq_items":[],"ai_generated_image":false,"street_view_image":null,"owner_uploaded_image":null,"has_real_photo":false,"image_source":"removed_pending_placeholder","image_generated_at":null,"menu_link":null,"line_id":null,"google_maps_url":"https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Square/@13.744444099999999,100.5348909,14z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sThe+Square!3m4!1s0x30e29ed21e8ff18b:0x30f2f8d58db1cbfe!8m2!3d13.744444099999999!4d100.5348909","subscription_tier":"free","description_generated_at":null,"content_status":"approved","focus_keyword":null,"wifi_available":true,"created_at":"2026-02-20T13:19:31.870Z","owner_verified_at":null}
