LancasterBFC Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Right, much to my dismay I've been given Christmas Day off and need to find something to do to fill the most cretinous date on the calendar. Somewhere to eat is the main priority (I've got DVDs) - preferably with minimal, or no, staff dressed in Santa outfits, incongruous songs about snow when it's pushing 30 degrees outside and, most of all, no outrageous price-gouging. I'm thinking Soi Arab as one possibility, but is there anywhere else that's not too far off the beaten track where I'm not going to get ripped off and there isn't an overpriced turkey or a chippolata sausage in sight?

smokie36 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Immigration Detention Centre. Probably the worst place in Bangkok to spend the festive season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancasterBFC Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks for the replies, and I will look into calling in on the IDC at some point over the 'festive' season. My orginal post was really about places to eat that will be free of the overcrowding, price-gouging, incongruous music, decorations, drunken idiots and misbehaving Farrang kids which make Christmas so unbearable at home. Boredom really won't be a problem per se. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Any Thai noodle stall will do. Face it, you really just want to whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
