Guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks Stick, how's the pricing at Angelinis? Everywhere really good, seems to be really expensive!!! Not wishing to moan, but when i pay for a meal in Thailand that's equivalent in pricing to a meal in the UK, i get a bit peeved...i've eaten at some crazily priced venues in the UK and elsewhere, i just didn't expect to be ripped off here to quite the same extent! Ok, i confess...i'm moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 For thai food, there is a tradeoff between taste and atmosphere. In my experience you could graph a line it is so consistent. The nicer the restaurant, the more bland and less authentic the food. On the other side of the coin some of the very best Thai food you can find is right along the streets sitting on plastic stools at a card table or cuisine bought from markets and eaten on the floor in homes. However, foreigners may prefer the taste of food at more expensive places because it is the middle ground between what you find at Thai restaurants in foreign countries (too bland and hybridized) and the really authentic stuff at cheaper places (strong flavors and less familiar tastes).

junglesoup Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Sudas on under ASoke BTS and down a little soi on the even number sides is great. Plastic tables/chairs(well plastic chairs) cheap big bottles of beer and great thai food. Theres another place down by Ekkamai soi on the left. Very warm inside but do a really good YAm Pla Dook Foo.

Dumsoda Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Agree...... Suda's is an old favourite....and great thai food.... But you could hardly list it in the "Best Restaurants of Bkk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lembeh Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 >you are right for Thai food! there are also not many Thai restuarants mentioned Hmm. Forgot one of my real favourites: Le Dalat for Vietnamese food. Very, very nice food and a nice atmosphere for really remarkably good prices. Make sure you get the "River fish" (I think thats the one, its a restaurant speciality) and some of the starters - the beef in betel leaf (?? would need to see the menu) is simply amazing, as are some of the spring roll (the Hue flute comes to mind). Just make sure you get the right one, there are two on opposite sides of the road (one Dalat, and one Dalat Indochine IIRC). You want the one in the old style house. Never had someone dissapointed there.. -j- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, i confess...i'm moaning. You are not paying for the food BUT for the ambiance/view. For the same price you can take your TG to Ko Samet for a few days. Which would your lady prefer?

I also like the places on the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Suda used to be good a couple of years back, but then it got mentioned in Lonely Planet and other guides and was frequented by too many tourists and went downhill since (service and food).

You want the one in the old style house. yes both are in Suk Soi 23, Dalat Indochine in the old style house is the first on the right beside Giusto (italian restaurant) and thoe other is further back in the Soi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 samak, Thanks for the update on Suda's. Haven't been there for maybe 18 months (past life 555) Always thought it good, but can understand how something like that can "Kill" a place. Now....Off the list Cheers DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
