Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Mind if I comment.There was once that we wanted to dine at Somboon at Ratchada but realised it was quite expensive...example, the price of the big head prawns as displayed was twice the amount of that in Nam Seng, Yowarat. More over, the restaurant was not posh..more like the setting of a hong kong cafe.

So decided to check it out at the nearby VIP Traditional Massage...was surprised that their viewing cum cafe lounge did serve quite good dishes...we had a light but good meal of deep fried garlic pork ribs, deep fried chicken skins and of course, the ever favourite tom yam goong.

After a good and not too heavy meal, we then proceeded to pick our fish from the tank...200b per two hours for thai massage and if you opt for an individual room...you will get more than just thai massage but no bath tub or attached bath room for you to wash up. I think our seasoned bkk cheongsters will know more than I do...no need for me to elaborate further.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Anybody got recommendations for a good restaurant by the riverside at Chao Phraya River to do Loy Krathong? Gotta book a table soon before places are all taken up.

Last year went to Riverside for their loy krathong cruise. Prices quite hiked up leh.

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Wah Bro your reccomendation is very Hi-so leh..But speaking of reccomendation, can you reccomend a place thats not too noisy but AFFORDABLE, and not too far from Rama9/Ratchada/Suk areas...

many thanks!!

I prefer, Local cuisine or western(italian).

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

hmmm..
Local and western... fusion? hehehe
Ratchada- 13 Coins (sip sarn lian)at Ratchada is not bad. I can't remember the name of the dish, but its served in some shell and has cheese on it... very nice! The restaurant is in the opposite direction of Poseidon along Ratchadar Road... inside a small soi...
Rama 9 - Taleh Bangkok (02-641 4818). Nice local Thai restaurant just beside Love Boat. Got live accoustic band...
Suk? U mean Suttisan? Not sure that area.. but one nice restaurant in Ladphrao is Bale. Thai pronouce it as "Bali". Got nice live band and light orchestra.

Lots of nice restaurants in Kasert NganWongmin too... but i'm not good at remembering the names.... hehehe I like those with live bands and friendly waiters/waitresses.... :)

Re: Eating in Bangkok
 

Yes.. i agreed the decor of Sampoon is quite "plain" many Thai restaurants got better decor anytime....Price not cheap too by BKK 's standard..

I go there mainly for their curry crab...best so far i've ever eaten...

You are right too...many restuarants in the Massage centre or bath houses served quite good food. Like the Plaza and Emanulle too the food are pretty good. Reasonable price and cost environment....
