I am sure that's what you tell your friends    Thanks for this Indian tip - i usually avoid the Indian restaurants, escpecially the ones with the agreesive touts out the front. Good to get a recommendation! last year I visited Bawarchi Rooftop Indian Restaurant on top of Solitaire Hotel at the end of Soi 11, the right hand turn end, near Holiday Inn Express. It was fairly good. Great evening views.

Agreed...great topic. I do come here for the food. I'll suggest one Thai and a couple of non-Thai favorites. 1. Thai Niyom. No web page, they have a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/ThaiNiyomBKK The restaurant is not big, and tucked away among the big buildings along Ploenchit, but it's been recognized by Michelin as one of the best affordable restaurants in BKK every year beginning in 2019. My favorites? Khao Soi Gai, a delicious chicken dish with spicy noodles and broth, The Fluffy Crispy Omelette with Spicy Pork is to die for. The Grilled Wagyu Beef is also spectacular. I'm not sure you can go wrong with anything on their menu. 2. Rang Mahal. https://rangmahalbkk.com  One of the best Indian restaurants I've enjoyed outside of India. It's a fairy elegant spot, on the top floor of the Rembrandt Hotel, but worth putting on something other than shorts and a t-shirt to enjoy. I've eating here at least a dozen times and never had a dish that wasn't excellent. If you like Indian, highly recommended. 3. Peppina. http://www.peppinabkk.com Pizza in BKK? Fuck yes! This is the real deal, Neapolitan style pizza with perfect crust and toppings that will bring back memories of Naples. There are several locations, I usually visit the one on the top floor of the Central Embassy shopping center (Ploenchit BTS stop). I like their Diavola and Chiang Mai pizzas, and they have a really good selection of antipasti options. Pastas are also good; I liked the pork cheek ragu. And their lemon tart is to die for.

I too have visited Krua Khun Puk countless times. Most times it is great but I have been disappointed a few times - last time I had their Braised Pork noodle soup 50baht it wasn't as good as I remember it, too much pork liver and tendon! Also their Pad Krapow is tasty but looks like a dogs dinner, just brown goop (Pad Krapow at Moom Muum is much better and also at Lek's Last Stand - Lek is a great cook). I do love the Chicken Cashew nut at Krua 80B and last time I had Khao Soi 80B which actually comes from the little Khao Soi stall in the alley way between Soi 11/1 and Soi 11 (Zong Peep) Just down the road on Suk Rd, under Asok BTS is a Chinese/Cantonese restaurant called Thong Kee - I always get the pork wonton and roast duck noodle soup. Went from 80 baht to 95 Baht, still a bargain. Another Chinese/Cantonese I visit each time i'm in Bangkok is Hong Teh in the Ambassador Hotel on Soi 11. Not cheap eats! Is expensive but they got very good Dim Sum chefs, the best i've had in Bangers.    

Heading over there this morning.

Always take a picture of your laundry ticket as soon as they give it to you...very easy to lose.
