One of the city’s best somtam parlors offers saap Isaan fare along with finger-licking fried chicken. Delivery is available.

Here, two sisters dish out comforting bowls of Hainanese noodles (B35-40). Firm udon-like noodles, tender chunks of braised beef, pickled cabbage and braised bamboo shoots get drenched in a thick sauce loaded on peanuts and white sesame. Noodlistic perfection.

 This small bar is so old and ragged but the kids still love it dearly. While other bars in the area have to deal with busy and slow times, Jam Bar seems always packed with university students. Live pop and rock music is played every day with hip hop and dance intervals. It’s impossible to get a table on weekend nights if you don’t make a reservation the previous day.
Opened: Dec 2007
The buzz: The Irish have good whiskey, too, such as Jameson’s. If you want to throw back a couple, along with some Guinness or Kilkenny, this new Irish bar in the Holiday Inn Silom hotel is an authentic place to do it.

This place glows with fairy tale sweetness---there's a bright glasshouse gazebo, a show room and a cozy nook with comfy-looking sofas behind a water wall. Smiling service, great cheese and dressing, iced tea with real honey. Also try 334 Rajhevee Soi Thammasarot, 02-611-1122. 2/F, Askoe Builiding.

The super-macho trio Thaitanium step into the nightlife industry, and we couldn't be happier. At long last, they bring us Club 420, a reggae and hip hop club. Expect some some jaw dropping when you enter the place because of its huge size.
The sole Japanese restaurant in the uber-chic Erawan Bangkok's 'urban Kitchen" area, this minimalist eatery mixes contemporary decor with traditional style. Seating is available tatami-style (on the floor), at the sushi bar or at tables. Set menus here aren't the amazingly cheap deals you'll find elsewhere at lunch, but you get what you pay for.
Jazz music and Indian food may not be a common match, but Jazz Mahal proves that the two can be heavenly together. Thawatchai “Kong” Champhio, the owner of Jazz Mahal explains, “Everything in the world can be mixed and matched. Jazz is a distinctive music and India is a country with a unique culinary culture.
There are now 13 branches of this well-regarded seafood establishment, though the two-building original on Siphraya Road is still the best. The decor is a bit aged, but you don’t go to Je-Ngor for the atmosphere. Go instead for fresh, well-prepared seafood.
Bangkok Best Tables, BK#189, Jun 15, 2007
Four popular branches in two years, this famous seafood chain serves fresh catches in big portions with vibrant taste. The service and ambiance are those of any huge Chinese restaurant--it looks like a cafeteria and the army of staff is at your back and call. Oh, and it's very loud with kids screaming all around.

Compared to its neighbors and rivals this roadside somtam shack looks pretty decent. Uncluttered, airy and with proper wooden chairs and tables, the set up resembles a buffet spread thanks to the open kitchen and grill/roast station manned by Je Waan and another cook.
This sixth outlet of the expanding Je-Ngor empire gets high marks. The interior can be generously described as contemporary Chinese, with big tables and paniting of flying swans. It looks like it was done on the cheap, but everyone knows you go to Je-Ngor for the seafood, not the atmosphere.
You don’t get a table at this khao kaeng stall, but you do get to play musical chairs with some 20 plastic red stools. The prize? Rice topped with smooth and milky Chinese-style beef curry (lighter than its Japanese or Indian counterparts B25).

This restaurant with a great view of the river promises a pleasant dinner, combining striking interior designs with an eclectic and exciting menu.
