Anyone has any recommendations for a nice evening out starting with a good dinner in Pak Kred/Chaengwattana area?

I prefer a western restaurant but the likes of Tawandaeng can be nice as well..

The Paulaner is a nice place to go.

A place I visited and enjoyed but Thai, was if heading on CW towards Major, do the U turn under the bridge before the junction with Tiwanon, then about 150 or more metres on your left is a nice little place to go to. Recommended on a TV show, so I tried it with my wife and enjoyed it.

Also there is the Restaurant near the Temple in Sanam Bin Nam, owned by an Italian and his wife, you drive down a little soi, and park in the temple, some motorcycle side car things drive you to the Restaurant on the River, very nice place, again a bit more Thai than farang, but still worth a visit. The main soi is past the Ministry of Commerce heading towards Rattantibeth, the temple soi is on your right.

Think the temple is on Soi 23

Thanks guys, I noticed the Paulaner in the daytime, seems nice... thought it was more like a beer garden..

has an outside area, tables set out like in a beer garden (lines), also a little house area to sit in and relax for a nice meal.

been to paulaner and that was a very nice experience, thanks
