Goodthaigirl Posted December 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 >andaman on thonglor soi 5< Thanks for the info. Been there. Great resturant and great atmosphere ! There's one called 'Fondu house' around Suk soi 40 something - it's on the even number side of the street. It's opposite Tat-tong temple. The restaurant is converted from a very nice old house. I would recommend these two places. Will try Willian Tell soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidsanuk Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 My fiance is not that keen on cheese, 'au natural' or in cooked dishes. The occasional pizza is OK. Mainly because she thinks it is too fattening. As for wine. She certainly likes the occassional glass as do her family. As she is not really a drinker, my next major task is to get her through the Oz driving test. (Her Thai licence, did not actually require her to pass the test) LOL Then.... you guessed it........I can drive on the way to dinner.......and she can drive back:-) Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 A sister of a Thai friend of mine likes cheese. She's the only Thai person I know off that likes cheese. When friends or relatives come over from Holland, they always bring good Dutch cheeses over for me. In Thailand I only know of TOP's who has a good cheese selection, but they don't come cheap. And yes, she always comments on how the cheese made me so fat, it's never that I had to help her to finish her plate..... Wine is a different story, my wife likes a glass sometimes on a special occasion as do many Thais IMO, definately more wine drinkers than cheese eaters.

bibblies Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 This Christmas, I bought my Thai girlfriend a big Swiss Emmenthal full of holes. She wrinkled up her nose and said, "That's no Gouda!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 I also can recommend the William Tell. It is my favorite Swiss Restaurant in BKK. However, I have to admit as Swiss, I never would eat Fondue at the temperatures we have at BKK. Related to the original subject: me and my wife eat right at the moment (winter time) about one to two fondues or raclettes per week. She likes it a lot, which was, and to a certain extend still is, a surprise to me. I know Australians and Americans who get sick by just smelling it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
