This place rocks for late night grub after some clubbing. - Classic Thai food. Stays open late.

I really like this place, a cool setting to take a date The food is really good, and well priced too. I've been here maybe 4 times and each time I stuffed my fat face, put away 3 jugs of beer or so and the bill hasn't topped 1000baht This is a really cool chillout venue to grab some food and drink, then head over to the clubs at RCA afterwards.

I was heading to soi 31 but with the rain coming at me sideways I ducked into here. Nice outdoor dining area made a great escape from the rain but could still feel the cool breeze. I had the grilled thai beef, the honey roasted duck, some veggies, rice and water. enough for 2 people to gorge. all very tasty and service was great but it is a little pricey for standard fare thai food. they even charge you for ice for the water. if they kept the water cold you would not need ice but if you did not need ice then they could not charge you for it. seems a bit much. the food was good though.

My recent visit to Nathong proved to be a very enjoyable one. I'd been meaning to go for quite some time now but just hadn't got round to it, so the arrival of my parents here in Bangkok on holiday gave me the perfect opportunity to try it out. The seating area, which is set around a large central pond is all very nice, and the live music that was playing all night was set at a reasonable level so that a conversation could still take place over dinner. I wouldn't say this restaurant is particularly 'high class' by any means (the plastic tables, chairs, and plates take care of that). Having said that, I found everything to be perfectly acceptable. The menu is huge, there's such a good variety of food on offer, so much so that it took us all quite a while before we could narrow it down and decide what to order. Every dish that arrived at our table was fine. Just good, well presented Thai food, in reasonable portions. The girls serving us seemed to struggle to break a smile, so that was one small downside, although the lad who took our order and looked after our drinks was very good. He was tipped individually by us at the end, while the girls were tipped collectively with what we left in the bill wallet. When we called the restaurant to book, we asked if it was OK to bring our own wine, this is acceptable at this restaurant and no corkage is charged. This is a big plus for this restaurant, although I did notice that the wine on the menu was actually very reasonably priced anyway. Our final bill for 9 people was 2,100bt (I think) which to me represents fantastic value for money. I'm not sure if I would choose to dine here if it was just me and the girlfriend, but I'd certainly like to return to Nathong again sometime when dining out in a group again.

I went to Talay Bangkok recently with the girlfriend and another couple. I couldn't fault the food, service, or prices, as we sat back with our feet in the sand under a palm tree listening to the live music on offer. The only small problem is the location as it happens to be very close to the busy Rama 9 road, therefore the traffic can be little noisy. Our bill for the four of us came to 1600Bt which included 4 jugs of beer. Food portions were very generous and left us all full.

This is the restaurant from Bangkok Dangerous where Nicholas Cage takes the deaf girl to dinner. You will notice right when you walk in where they were sitting - next to the water. I have eaten here a few times. The food is not amazing but the it is reasonably priced, they have a good menu and the service is good. They have live music and the outdoor setting is a nice place to take newcomers or maybe a date. Since the big outdoor seafood place closed on Ratchada this is where I take people instead.

A wonderful riverside setting compliments the incredible Thai food available here. I've visited this restaurant several times and have always come away happy. For me the best table locations are outside by the river, with a view of the bridge. If possible, try and call ahead and reserve a table.

Popped in here one night to avoid the ran as I was walking back from the Silom area. I am not an oyster guy but the bar is inviting and the euro style tapas menu looked cool. It is not the cheapest joint in town but the menu is interesting and the selection of alcohol is impressive. My only complaint was many of the tapas items I tried to order were unavailable and the place was a little smug but all the items I tried were very tasty. I figure some point I would go back and have a steak and try some of whiskys.

I first discovered this place a few years back whilst attending a friend's birthday party. Sure there are a lot of seafood restaurants around the river but this one has something a little special. An amazing view of the bridge and a quiet spot on the river. Food is pretty good. No MSG and open pit grills for the fish. They have a nice outdoor seating area, a band on almost every night and decent service. When you arrive at Samsen soi 3 you may think you are in the wrong spot but the restaurant is at the very end of the soi and you will appreciate the location even more once you see the views.
