smokie36 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Asiatique is a good idea for a bit of shopping. I woulldn't eat there though....we thought the riverfront places too expensive. Anyone recommend those places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ongchart Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Banyan tree is a good choice. The restaurant Vertigo is spectacular , but be prepared to pay a lot for a full course meal with wine/cocktail. A party of 5 of us paid $600 recently, and we had only 4 alcoholic drinks. Mom will be impressed with the view and atmosphere though. Service is 2nd to none. Edited April 11, 2013 by ongchart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutton1001 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well think we will do drinks in the banyan then go to sukhothai for a meal as heard good things. Is it less expensive than the Banyan tree? Mmm I wonder... Thanks for the replies and if anyone else has any restaurant gems please feel free to let me know.

DocN Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 For dinner go to "Eat me" at Soi Convent. Spectacular food, combined with fine art. If you like it more local, there is an excellent restaurant (and much, much cheaper) at Marathiwas Soi 17, called "Sortrel". Both restaurants are not too far from Banyan Tree also.

sutton1001 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 DocN I'm so in to eat me!! I so want to go their! I know what were in for but my mum doesn't she is going to be on the farm for three weeks eating Thai food until it comes out of her ears!!! But she insists she wants to eat Thai on her first night. So I really am going to have to take her for Thai food. Fingers crossed she is up for it on our return journey otherwise I might just have to leave her in the room for room service whilst I go a eat their alone. So if you have any exceptional THAI recommendations I'm all ears. Once again thanks.. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open air, live Thai- (pop)- music, 95% Thai- audience...and the food is really good. I always take visitors from "home" there. IMHO you can never go wrong with that. When you are taking the taxi from banyan Tree, turn left into Narathiwas at the nxt big junction and go about 2,5 km. You will notice a place on the left hand side called "Mango Forrest" (it pops out, because of the yellow neon)...20meters further is "Sortrel". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
