If you want a view, and your sushi too, Taihei is the ticket. With Southeast Asia's largest collection of sake, you may find yourself in for a dizzying experience. Choose from sushi, yakitori or teppanyaki, and the staff will meet your every demand.

OK, the hotel may be named Take A Nap (920-926 Rama 4 Rd., 02-637-0015. www.takeanaphotel.com), but you might be too busy admiring your room to get a good night’s sleep. This new hotel offers visitors a selection of 30 different themed-rooms including Happy Forest, Bang Bang and, uh, Trespassing.
Near the Surawongse branch of Som Boon Pochana is Take a Seat, a two-story white house that churns out Thai fare. The month-old restaurant doesn’t have a proper phone number yet, but you can already drop by to try its specialties like deep-fried seabass with mango salad, tord mun prik yuak (fried fish cakes with bell peppers) and stir-fried cabbage stuffed with minced pork.
Believe it when people tell you that this is the place to get your nails done. The salon’s two prime locations are in the convenient, hi-so friendly Thonglor hangouts of Marketplace and J. Avenue allow you to rub shoulders with socialites as you get meticulous work done on your hands and feet.

 The buzz: The favorite chillout bar on Saphan Huachang has branched out to Khao San, and soon the original location will be closed. The place is good for both diners and serious drinkers. Everyone knows Taksura has good Thai food, and the prices are low.
Long for the beach but have no time to go to Pattaya?
With all the fusion, modern Thai, contemporary Thai and other hybrids we've been eating these days, it's easy to forget what authentic Thai food tastes like. Refresh your taste memory here. The restaurant is tiny, especially in comparison to the throngs of customers. The place is adorable with chic furniture.
A three-story loft-like eatery, Tamarind Café is quite popular among health-conscious folks. The menu includes a surprisingly large number of vegetarian dishes from around the world—we didn’t realize so many meat-free meals existed. If you’re feeling a bit too healthy, sin a little with an order of mouth-watering cakes.
For an authenic Norther Indian lunch, head to Tandoor and order yourself an Indian business set. The restaurant offers non-vegetarian (B350) and vegetarian (B300) set meals with selection of Indian favourites such as chicker masala, naan and gulab jamun dessert.

 One of the few places on Silom Soi 4 with a mixed crowd, Tapas plays house music nightly with a strong Latin influence, accompanied by live percussionists on the weekends. Renovated this year to a more spacious layout, it still can get pretty packed Friday and Saturday nights.
 This shophouse-wide eatery has quickly attracted a loyal following with its authentic Spanish cuisine, wines and sherries served in a comfy and lively setting. Must-try dishes include Manchego cheese, platters of sliced meats and garlicky prawns.

Opened: Jan 2008
The buzz: A luxury tapas and wine bar in one of the city’s more striking hotels where you can gorge on bite-size Spanish and Asian treats washed down with elixirs from their extensive wine list.

This cozy venue with only five tables serves exceptional food in an elegant ambiance. There's also a small outdoor terrace. Try the rack of lamb with rosemary or the roast chicken.
