For those wanting to sample firey Southern Thai food in Bangkok, I can recommend “TS Cuisine” instead – it’s in the Coco Walk complex by Ratchathewi skytrain station, directly opposite the Asia Hotel, about 50 yards inside on the left. The Gaeng Som Pla (fish orange curry) here is excellent.

do get in touch with us directly through the site and we can talk about some options.

Many thanks,

Sam

Bangkok – Anna’s on soi Saladaeng has fab. Thai cuisine. Lemongrass is also very good.

Phuket – fresh seafood, popular among locals and expats, and DElicious – Kan Eng II off of Phuket Town road between Chalong circle and the back side of Wat Chalong.

Would agree with Suan Kularb, but the Ari area has some other good options such as Somtum Bangkok for north-eastern Thai food, or Pla Dib for fusion and Japanese food.

For some top-end options, I’d go for Baan Kanitha on Sathorn Road near the Australian Embassy for top-notch food in a grand setting, or Lemongrass on Sukhumvit Soi 24 (Phrom Pong Skytrain station) for Royal Thai cuisine in a beautiful traditional Thai house.

The nightly music & dance performance in Vientianne Kitchen on Sukhumvit Soi 36 is also fun, and the Lao & north-eastern Thai food they serve is very good.

If it’s southern Thai food you’re after then Malika on Soi Rang Nam (Victory Monument skytrain station) is a good bet, be warned though that southern Thai food can be very pungent and spicy, so remember to order it “mai pet” if you’re not accustomed to the high chilli content.
