Expert Tips for Bangkok Restaurants
-
Chef's Table: "Reservations are essential here, and it is worth coming early for a sunset drink at the Sky or Distil bars, located up on the roof. Take the BTS to Saphan Taksin and walk up Charoenkrung Rd 5 minutes to the corner of Silom, where you'll find the Lebua."
-
Sushi Juban: "To get here, best hop a taxi from the Asok BTS station. You'll need to head up Sukhumvit Soi 23, then turn right after 300 meters (just after CRAFT beer bar), where Soi 23 divides. Continuing on this right branch of Soi 23, it swings left again after another 300m, and then you'll travel up another 250m to the third alleyway on the left. Juban is down this alley at the end, just after Serendib Cafe."
-
Bangkok Trading Post: "From Phrom Pong, best to taxi up. Take Sukhumvit Soi 39 up to Phrom Chit Alley (where 39 changes to one way coming at you, and you have to turn left), you'll find the restaurant in the 137 Pillars Hotel which is just in front of you (to the right of Soi 39)."

About Bangkok Restaurants
Bangkok is truly one of the world's gourmet paradises. Whether it be by type of cuisine or type of establishment, one can find just about everything and anything from top to bottom, with all of it being superb. There are roof top locations or lush garden spots serving up fine French, Italian, or even the latest in nouvelle cuisine such as Indian molecular gastronomy (Gaggan)! While at the other end of the spectrum one finds auntie's on street corners dishing out bowls of noodles that people have been lining up for for decades they are so popular (Jae Fai).
Even within the Thai food options, the selections are far wider than the average visitor could ever imagine. Most tourists of course know pad thai and tom yam goong, but very few have made the effort to sample spicy southern cooking (Phuket Town) or the harder to find northern cuisine (Gedhawa) and it variations on traditional recipes. Perhaps best of all are the local no frills Isaan restaurants, which offer plenty of tasty grilled meats and spicy salads to go with plenty of bottles of beer,whiskey, and good cheer in simple yet extremely lively locations, where you will have a truly Thai experience (Lung Yai).
