Somboon restaurant. This is a famous seafood restaurant not far from Sala Daeng. It’s not a romantic setting but good for a group of people. Tawandang beer house. This is based on a German beer hall, it serves good food and provides good music and great entertainment. It is quite busy, popular with Thais
About transport:
Bangkok is the thriving capital of Thailand, the best city in Asia! Transport: It is true that Bangkok’s roads can be quite congested at times. However the Sky train and the underground are available to solve that situation. Best to buy a ticket for 300 baht that lasts about thirty days and gives you about 40 journeys. It takes ten minutes to get to Siam. Personally I am not keen on Tuk-tuks as you can never really see where you are going, they are open to fumes and the price negotiations can be a bit tiresome, however they are an experience and can be useful for short journeys. Taxi’s are very cheap compared with the UK, always ask for the journey to be on the meter, they might want to do it on a fixed price especially if you have not flagged them down or it might be particularly busy, then it is up to you but it will be more expensive.
To get back to Baan Sathorn Choaphraya the proper address that the taxi drivers will know is “Charoen (pronounced Jarron) Nakorn, soi zip ha A”, this translates to small road 15A off Charoen Nakorn road. Alternatively say the Pennisula Hotel and then guide them from there. I try to avoid using taxis at rush hour but if I am out in Sukhumvit, near Nana or Asok for example at night, it only takes about fifteen minutes to get back, cant remember the cost but I don’t think its over 100 baht (£1.50) including tip. If you are on your own and there is a lot of traffic about you can always get on the back of a motorbike which will save you time, its fun but could be a bit more dangerous than normal, make sure they give you a helmet. Finally there are many river boats going up and down, the main one costs 100 baht a day for unlimited trips (get more info at the pier), but you can just do one stop if you like and it works much like the buses.
