Where's The Best Place/Restaurant in Bangkok To Take My 5-Year Old And His Friends for a party? Looking for some "kid friendly" establishments.

I've downloaded many iphone apps through the years from education, games, kama sutra adult apps, etc., What's the most provocative or perverted app out there? Shookra seems to take the iphone to a new level.

To be more specific perhaps I should say theme rooms. google royal bellagio philippines and check on the rooms page to see what I mean. For sure they exist in Bangkok, just cannot find any resourceful information on the net.

Awhile back I saw an article in Bangkok Post about fantasy motels similar to those they have in Japan. I know Thailand has a lot of "short-time" hotels that tend to be a bit dirty, but the article mentioned quite a few motels setup with quite unique settings and also very clean. Anybody have any recommendations of such places as I am not able to find the article on the BP website?

Any suggestions of good valentines brunch, or dinner promotions this valentines day in Bangkok?

For Sunday Brunch in Bangkok check out PekoPiko.com's website under the promotions section.

Thanks everyone for your posts. Will head down to Khao San later in the week and check out a couple of these places. Cheers.

The Lemon Farm has some pretty good unsweetened and low fat yogurt. There is also a local Thai brand at the Villa you can buy that is unsweetened. Personally though, I like to make my own. Heat up a liter of milk, stir until you see the first bubble (just before boiling point), turn off, set on the stove for 24-hours then put it in the fridge, and add fruit and sweetener to taste-I add fresh blueberries and honey to mine and it is great. Just be careful to not burn the milk.May take you a couple times before you get it right. I know it did for me. Good luck.

Any recommendations for great Western or Thai food in the Khao San Road area?

Club Thailand is also a good one. They typically only market it to Japanese, however there are some fantastic discounts available for all sorts of stuff all over Thailand. I use it primarily for golf green fees I i typically pay about 20-30% less than the published price.

I always find that Pomelo is a good detox as well as some really spicy Som Tom. There are a few restaurants out there that have some soups made from various chinese herbs, spices and mushrooms. I use to go to one around Thonglor Soi 17, but it closed a few months back. I would image you could find something similar in China Town though. I heard that a soup made with Bitter Gourd is also very dietary, however personally I don't like the taste.

Throughout Bangkok you will see petro stations called Lemon Farm. Surprisingly some of them also operate a Health Foods Shop that has everything from fresh organic vegetables to various "green" type of products. I often go to the one off of Sukhumvit 39, however there is also another one near to the end of Soi Ekamai closer to Petchuburi site. A good site to visit is ThaiOrganicFood dotcom

I went to a restaurant a few years ago called the Andaman on Thonglor Soi 5 that had a very nice Goulash, but never heard of any Hungarian or Iceland restaurants in Bangkok.

My personal preference is the back alley / "hole in the wall" type Chinese restaurants in Bangkok.I have found three in Bangkok that I have been frequenting for years. If you like Shanghai style steam dumplings that have soup inside the dumpling I recommend a place called Tao <deleted>, Yong Her that is off Soi Narathivasrajchanakarin (Soi Narathivas) just off the Chong Nongsi BTS station when exiting from left hand side when facing Silom road and walking towards Silom road. Toraijyun off of Sukhumvit 41 in a small side street behind the Tops supermarket serves a wide variety of Hong Kongnese dishe. Very similar to Toraijyun closer to Silom/Lumpini is operated by Ta Yang Group Co. Ltd. (don't know the actually name of the restaurant as the business card only says the group's name) on 5/4 Soi Ngamduplee, Rama 4 Road. Restaurant is about 25 meters on the left when coming from Rama 4 just next to a barbar shop. All restaurants above are excellent and very cheap. About 4 dishes costs about 400 baht. More info on these can be found on PekoPiko's website. Good luck and happy eating!

Im a Japanese food lover too, I have been to many in bangkok and have to say that nearly all of them have been solid.

I have yet to find a bad Japanese resturant so far here, but I will say I have not found a good Viet restaurant here. ANyone know of a solid place

I liked the place on Sukhumvit Soi 13 (near Citi Chic Hotel) but it closed recently. I heard it's relocated and, if true, would love to know where. It was owned/run by a Vietnamese woman who'd lived in the States...good pot dishes...and (not sure why) also had some decent Binets.

Hi-saw that this post is a bit old, but maybe can offer something. I heard that the Thien Doung @ Dusit Thani is pretty good; one that I have wanted to try, but not had the chance is Ngon Lam just before Pattanakarn Soi 50. I believe this restaurant use to be located at Thong Lor Market Place that was one of my favorites before it closed down. If you do happen to visit it, let me know how it is.

Hi-recipe for Mee Grob, Larb Mood, etc. can be found on PekoPiko's website under the Recipes video's section. Hope this helps.

My favorite is Yokayoka on Sukhumvit 16. Yokayoka is not your traditional Japanese restaurant that you find in Bangkok as it serves up Okinawan food where the cooking style using a lot of porks (an various parts thereof), different kinds of tofus, etc. Okinawan in kinda of the tropical part of Japan and use mostly stir-fried techniques, but also have many dishes soup based for similar winters to that of Thailand (ok maybe slightly colder in December). Search for YokaYoka on PekoPiko.com as there you can find map, reviews, restaurant details, etc. as the restaurant was quite busy when I went where you may want to make a reservation.

Is Yokayoka restaurant really Okinawan or Kyushu style.... Im really curious to try it....

Definately Okinawan verified by my Japanese girlfriend that accompanied me. :-) Try it out and let me know what you think. Maybe post a review on that website mentioned above as it seems pretty good, but content is still developing. Heard they are about to launch an iphone and mobile app as well that should be cool. If you're after Sushi my favorite is Shintaro at the Four Seasons Hotel or Tsu at the JW Marriott. Ask Aki the Exec Chef for the 'really spicy tuna' as you will be pleased if you like spicy food.
