Places beginning with 'F'
Don't expect a young and trendy crowd despite the moniker; patrons and older and the mood is mellow. Reason to drop by: exquisite live jazz. Reason to dine modererately; food that is average in taste and way above average in price.
The background Italian music and candlelight make the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Service is quick and cordial. The recommended dish to try is the soft-shell crab pizza.

Equipped with modern facilities yet teaching the traditional Thai way, Fairtex offers muay Thai training focusing not only on fighting techniques but also on the body’s general fitness. Accommodation is available in single or double rooms that are charged per day, per week or per month.
The lovely front entrance with tables, umbrellas and a lit path leads to an attractive interior where the decor is tastefully minimal. The friendly owner-chef hailing from Northern Italy is helpful in selecting all the interest dishes (try the Stozzapreti pasta and the tender veal osso bucco). A glass of imported grappa is the only way to finish off.
Dine among the bold and the beautiful in an elegant black and red contemporary setting. Local meat reigns supreme on the menu, but you can order imported beef from Australia and Japan. The best thing here is Japanese barbecue stoves that are guaranteed to be smoke free, so you can boogie afterwards without being smelly.

Many colors, over-the-top metal works and pebbles and rocks on the walls, then ther's a bar and a band. It has a strut-your-stuff vibe with good seafood and funky decor. Expect Thai Airways service and loud music.

422 North Thetsaban Rang Ruk Rd.
The word “tranquil” doesn’t get tossed around too frequently in Bangkok, but Fisherman’s Seafood Restaurant is worthy of it. The combination of the sounds of the splashing river water, the gentle warm breeze, and the sun slipping down behind the temples along the Chao Phraya makes for a lovely and relaxed atmosphere.

Create your lunch to suit your favorite Flave. At this "huatel couture," the three-course business lunch is B299, allowing you to mix and match Thai with international dishes.

 The one and only on this block not to swim in the hip hop mainstream. Funky house, d’n’b, breakbeat and so forth are the order of the night here. Flix has the most elegant interior and vibe in the area, with prices to match. Not many seats as it was built for grooving and moving.
Flower Click (1103/44 Soi Phetchaburi 31, New Phetchaburi Rd., 02-331-2346. Open daily 9am-8pm. www.flowerclick.net) offers a decent variety of bouquets and arrangements from B1,000-3,000. Shipping is free for a B1,000 up.
Flower Design Bangkok (199 Phaholyothin Rd., 02-986-1220. Open daily 8am-5pm. www.flowerdesignbangkok.com) offers “free” delivery in Bangkok (B1,000-2,000 elsewhere). Choose one of their arrangements in their online catalog or design your own—but that takes time, which apparently you don’t have.
This Latin drinking and dancing bar boasts a relaxed yet stylish vibe—cool lighting, lots of wood and contemporary furniture all make it a great place to lounge. Before you venture upstairs to cozy booths and a vast selection of cocktails (try their signature Caipirinha, B180) and cigars, fill your stomach downstairs at their signature churrascaria grill.
 Located on the 7th floor of CentralWorld, Fondooz promises to send foodies to “Heaven on Seven” with its mouth-watering Swiss fondues. The four-month-old restaurant is an offshoot of Chesa, Bangkok’s premier Swiss restaurant, though much more modern in terms of atmosphere and concept.
This stylish and sexy food court has set the standard not just around town but countrywide. Its eight participating restaurants include Dao Vien, Gianni and Tidbit Treasure. Strangely, a great place for a whole mix of people and situations: blind dates, new couples, exhausted shoppers.
