Arrived a party of 4 of us for Buffet and drinks for deal advertised as:
"Ocean Bangkok Phrom Phong: Weekend A La Carte Buffet with Drinks at Ocean Bangkok."
[LOOKS GOOD EH?]

But, the only meal option was a card in a plastic holder presented listing a few dishes.
Drink list was similar, but restricted to several specific cocktails and certain beers.
Location was far from what the photos showed, and deserted, staff did not attend to us, we had to hunt someone up and tell them we were there for buffet as advertised.
I thought we had the wrong place at first.
No other diners were in sight and there were no tables laid out for dining.
It was as though we should not be there.
A couple of local ladies tried to look attractive by the pool though?
We did eat, and drink what was available rather that spoil our day, and the offerings were good, and the waiter tried to do his best to turn around our disappointment.
So as with a lot of Groupon promos, buyer beware!
As its not always like what you see in the pictures.
To be fair, even if the wording was tricky, adding the term A La Carte to the advertised buffet, maybe covers them for not presenting a buffet.

Tip for consumers:
Yeh,when in Thailand,try using ensogo.com instead of Groupon.
