Ban Chiang Restuarant, Surasak Area

[Filer]

I've searched but can't find any mentions of the Ban Chiang restaurant in this forum yet.

Anybody know it or eaten there recently?

It's in Soi Srivieng in the area near the Holiday Inn hotel between Silom and Sathorn.

I want to take my Ilong-standing ndian tailor and his wife out for dinner to a restaurant with good Thai food, relaxed surroundings and atmosphere and foreigner-friendly -- and near to the Silom area where he has his shop. I could go to Ban Khanitha down in Sathorn, which is sort of the right concept that I am looking for, but possibly a little bit too up-market for this occasion (and possibly also losing some of its original charm if you're an old-timer like me and remember its Soi Ruam Rudee days).

On paper (which means largely tourist-oriented publications) the Ban Chiang seems a good choice and well recommended. I'll be coming in from out of Bangkok and won't have much time before the invitation to actually check the restaurant out myself.

All comments welcome. PM me if you wish.
