Where to Eat
Sanam Pao BTS area I don't know any except for a seafood place between Victory Monument & Sanam Pao BTS stations. Opens at night and crowd spills onto the side walk. Plenty of middle class Thais come to dine here as evident from rows of cars parked along the road. Prices a bit higher. I ate there once but can't remember the name. Bro Naemlo is this the "Lao Lao" u r referring to?
Go north and next to Ari station you have the Villa Mart. Thai, Japanese, Korean restaurants, Starbucks & even Secret Recipe from Malaysia all here. My fav would be Fuji Japanese restaurant (miss their tonkatsu, only Bht160 a set, & salmon tatake salad) followed by cake & coffee at After You, long queues!
On the opposite side of Villa Mart. If you walk into a large soi (at t-junction) you will find a small Thai-Viet restaurant. 2nd soi on your left after main road, corner of row of shophouse. Cheap & delicious Thai Isaan & Thai interpretations of Viet food.
Walk a bit more in (approx 100-200m?) & on the right you will see a big white condo. Next to condo is a sub-soi. There should be a light box at night advertising a nice Thai restaurant at the end of the sub-soi. Great Thai food & great ambience. A little pricey but cheaper than Sillypore for similar joints.
Baan Pueng Chom (บ้านพึงชม)
Soi Jue Jitr, Pahol Yothin 7 (Soi Ari), Bangkok
Tel. 02 2794204
Belgian beers with fries and mussels steamed in beer! Great place to chill with friends. This one its best u take a taxi. Rather long walk in.
House of Beers (Aree Garden)
Next to Soi Ari Samphan 11, Phaya Thai, Opposite the Ministry of Finance.
BTS station: Ari
Tel: +66 (0)2 617 1600
Open daily, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
Go south to Victory Monument and you have a few Thai style gap geam places & cheap roadside stalls to try. Exit from the station on the elevated walkway. U are at 6 o'clock. Front & center of you the "Victory Monument".
3 o'clock: stall selling Thai style kway chap. Opens til wee hours of the morning. Next to it is a Thai cafe boran stall (traditional coffee). Can have sankaya with steam bread for desert after your kway chap meal.
3 o'clock: a little bit up from the kway chap stall are some "gap geam" restaurants. Open air dining. Order a few Thai dishes to go with your Sangsom Coke. Great inexpensive chill place.
1 o'clock: walk along the elevated walkway and after crossing the road u go down the first stairs on your right. Row of shop houses along a canal. You will see Bht9 noodle shop. Yes just Bht9 a bowl! Servings are small though so u have to eat like a few to be full. More of a novelty. The store used to be next to the main road but was burnt down during the riots. I think they are open for lunch only.
11 o'clock: this is a bit harder to find becoz its in a small lane after a row of bus stops. Taksura - another gap geam joint. Enter it & its like visiting someone's house in the 70's. Old retro furniture. Thai food is cheap & delicious plus its air conditioned! Try the "larb moo tod" deep fried minced pork salad! Aroi aroi!
OK good luck hunting the places down!
