Sorry if it seems obvious but to newbies it may not be...

Avoid the tourist traps on Sukamavit road!

They are in general overpriced and so-so at best.

Evn the so called high class hotels are overpriced there.

I had a really excellent meal for no more than 400 baht(with a cocktail)

near Victory Monument.

People in the know go there. Anywhere else?

Thanks for the specific nature of your post. Perhaps, I can be equally specific. Two years ago I had a really crappy meal on Silom but last month I had a really good one on Soi Rumrudee.

Please be specific!
