Hi,

Does anyone know of a Caribbean restaurant anywhere in Bangkok? I've recently developed a craving for some spciy barbequed jerk chicken, as I used to get on a regular basis in south London...

and if they sell Goat curry and Guiness punch im there too!

I would imagine that the number of those kind of resturants in Bangkok would be practically nil....I guess you would need have to have a sizable local Carribean population in Bangkok for a that type resturant to be needed. And I don't see that happening anytime soon. After all, why would they need to go to Thailand when they already live in the tropics?

There used to be a Trader Vics in one of the local hotels - can't remember the Hotel or if the TV is still there - sorry.

Good question, although sometimes life just leads you to where you are. I am from Barbados not Jamaica, the land of jerk everything.

I often long for food from home. Thank goodness Mum is coming our soon with some supplies!

The Trader Vic's restaurant is in the Marriott Hotel, along the Chaophraya river. However, its style is described as Polynesian, rather than Caribbean.

Thanks for this Morbius - being in a riverside hotel, though, I imagine it may be expensive!

Jerk chicken is primarily Jamaican. There is a large variety of dishes between the nations of the Caribbean. I hate to split hairs but this is like saying "Is there a European Restaurant in Bangkok? I really like black pudding". No offence intended to the OP.

No roti here, no doubles, no callalloo. Unless anyone has seen different?

Hmm, I didn't know it was only Jamaica that specialised in jerk chicken - thanks for that!

Well, I guess it's Jamaican cuisine, specifically, that I'm after then...
