fatbastard33 Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 On my next visit to Bangkok I am wanting to give the impression to my little cutie that I am romantic (which I am not!) and want to take her for dinner overlooking the Chao Phraya river. I would expect to pay about 2000-2500 Baht in total. She would most probably have something Thai whilst I would have a steak (or similar) but without wine, only beer. Can anybody give me any recommendations - however, it must have a river view and be on the east side of the river. Many thanks Fatbastard33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 Dear FB, Have I got the place for you! Ban-Klang-Nam. Phone 292-0175, or 292-2037/8. Reservations recommended. It is hard to find, so have your TGF call them for directions, and then take Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station, and give the directions to a cabbie. I wouldn't recommend a steak there, but this place is a classy hangout. Fresh exotic fish/seafood are brought there from all over Thailand. THB2,000 is do-able. Shorts with T-shirt may be pushing it a bit. [ July 10, 2001: Message edited by: vtombrown ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 why you want to stay on the east side (sure plenty of nice, but rather expensive restaurants like maenam terrace of shangrila (excellent buffet), sala thai (river city shopping center); try the yok yor on the west side: very reasonable and just 5-10 minutes taxi ride from sathorn. they also have dinner cruises with prices you can only dream of on the east side. you pay 80 baht per person for a 2 hours cruise (and the menue card has very reasonable prices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whosyourdaddy Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 How about a river cruise. You could get a nice dinner at the price and go up and down the river. There are a number of them listed in a few of the guide books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 A river cruise sounds like a great idea, but I found it to be only a good idea. Maybe the focus of this topic (the Thai GF) would indeed find a river cruise to be great. My only complaint was that the food was two or three hours old, and there were many fat, ignorant (and usually old) farang d-bags sharing the same small quarters with me, and loudly spouting idiotic remarks. Call me prejudiced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 I too, have good things to say about Ban Klang Nam. Vtombrown is correct about getting your directions in Thai for the Taxi. Hard to find otherwise, down a tiny non-descript side street, but worth the effort. Magnificent seafood and right on/over the river. Reserve a table, I waited for an hour once, still worth it.
