Talking about restaurants etc, reminded me of the best managed bar/restaurant I have ever been in. Now I know these premises are about as far from lb territory as you can get, but there you go. The premises concerned are in St Andrews, Scotland. Yes the home of golf. The place is on the corner before you walk down to the first tee. It is an old building. Been there for centuries, and a favorite of golfers for many years. I was having a meal there and sitting at a table right next to where this woman was standing. Turns out she was the owner or at least the manager of the premises. Never before or since have I seen someone work a place like she did. Patrons would come in and sit at a table. Within a few seconds this woman was onto it. Directing wait staff to the table where they would give a rundown on what they could order etc. I was there probably 2 hours and in that time she never missed a beat. If a glass was empty, the Boss would bring it to the attention of one of the staff. As soon as a table was being vacated she was on to it. Telling the staff to attend to it. Getting it ready for the next group. Never a raised voice, just calm order. Constantly looking around and checking if anything needed attending to. That evening has stuck in my small brain for many years. A lesson on how a business should be run. I have to admit in some small way I took notes from that experience. Sorry there is no reference to lbs in this story. 

I have eaten at both "I'm Aroi" restaurants and found the food better at the soi 11 than at soi 7/1. The menu booklets are the same. There is an open air restaurant on the other side of soi 11 to I'm Aroi which has great food but I dont know the name. Swan  as mentioned, on soi 4 is another good option. And also the "shrimp" on corner of soi 11/1 and Suk rd. Bit pricier but nice is the Thai Kitchen at Soi 7/1 entrance which does Pints for happy hour. Late night after a few drinks I have eaten at the open air restaurant cnr soi 17 across from McDonalds. Also the beer garden restaurant down Soi 19 has always been a good visit. Generally, if I see locals in a restaurant I am compelled to check the menu.

Thanks for trying it out @gainsbarre That's a real pity, as I liked the Art Box, which by the sounds of it, was much more reasonably priced. SAG

It is ridiculously expensive  140 thb for a beer in a plastic cup? wondered around and also food is very high priced a typical tourist "so called night market" trap

The Kinnaree is my go to place to eat. Shows how boring I am.
