Sports bar atmosphere.Good variety of food.Full Western or Thai menu available and good selection of beer.Service is ok,but sometimes slow,so not for those in a hurry.Great place to meet.Loud and rowdy during football games...Spirited, but not out of control.Many pool tables and freelancers for a challenge.The place is very big,so those desiring a quieter dinner,the back room is where my wife and guests usually congregate.When by myself,I sit up front for the full experience.Beer seems a little expensive and food an ok value.

Good value.Good location right on Sukhumvit,between Sois 4 & 6.Difficult for taxi service,so need to have p/u and delivery at gas station at end of Soi 2,or along Soi 4.Guest friendly and good service.I have stayed here many times.Good alternative to those happy with Majestic Grande(sister hotel),but on a budget.Rooms are clean,but small.I have stayed in 3 different sized rooms.Single superior is ok for the single traveler w/o guests.Double superior ok with guest and short stay.Double deluxe is good for extended stays for two.The lower floors on Nana Plaza side are too loud at night,as they are located on the same level as Nana Plaza.Higer floors(6th up) on Nana Plaza side are much quieter.Sukhumvit side rooms are quieter.Double paned windows help with noise reduction.Restaurant is ok.Free breakfast is very basic.Very difficult for reservations now,as this hotel has gotten so popular.Must book very early.

Stayed in Majestic Grande early 2006.I stayed in the base priced room.Clean,good service and amenities. The Soi 2 location is quiet, yet close enough to the Soi 4-Nana Plaza party. Hotel is guest friendly, yet respectable for couples or business travelers.The breakfast and lunch buffets in the 7th floor restaurant are a great value. The Italian restaurant downstairs is ok,but overpriced. Very luxurious and good value for those desiring something nice, but now a little over my budget.
Islander:
Excellent and friendly service.Quiet location away from Sukhumvit noise.Rooms are clean and generous size.Some of the best variety of street food available right outside hotel.Nice balcony with views of quiet soi available.Only a 5 minute walk to Nana Skytrain station.I did not try the restaurant, because of the good availablity of great street food.Pool area very nice to lounge around for drinks, dinner or conversation.
Only negative...No in-room safe for valuables.
My wife and I stayed there May 2008.Priced about 1500B per night.A very good value and highly recommended.

Went there 2 times. Thai live band Club. Very crowded on week-end... But on monday night is also full !!! Crazy. Nice place, nothing special about the deco, dark and black, bar on your left when you enter, bar on our right also, some sits at the end of the club and a big mid-place with stand-up tables. In front of the stage.
Customers are 80% Thais. Many youngs but not only teenagers. Lot of smart and dressy girls, us usual. The band is great, thai pop and rock, ONLY HITS... And it really rocks. Everybody dancing around tables. Everybody knowing the songs by heart.. Quiet impressive. I think the "vibe" is really great.
I love the CURVE and when leaving check the crowd on ekkamai... The traffic jam at 2am is a must-see...

Went there last saturday. Around 22h00. Surprinsigly not crowded, yet... Very nice building and deco look like church is really excellent. Large place, very open, with some first floor balcony for those wo prefer to have a look form upper to the crowd... Band is great, I loved them. Many thais songs and mix with rock classics... but I did'nt enjoy the R'NB moments without the band. Too long. And sorry the sound level is terribly high.. nearly to hurt...
And after 11.00 the crowd was 70% farangs. A bit to much to me. And has some impact on the "vibe", nobody is dancing, seems not be the really big fun for some peoples... ???
But nice place, nice moment, but CURVE is better on my mind.

Probably my favorite place to go and lounge with a cup of coffee in all of Bangkok. Location, location, location. And it doesn't get much better than this. The J-Avenue center is smack dab in the middle of Thong Lo which is one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of BKK.
I've spent countless hours relaxing here and engaging in some of the best people watching to be had outside of Khao San Road. This location is very often frequented by the 'upper crust' and if you enjoy spotting beautiful people, this is the place for you.
The large outdoor seating area lends this Au Bon Pain a healthy dose of the 'sidewalk cafe' feeling that is too often absent with other coffee shops here in BKK.
Free up a few hours and check it out.

A Thai friend of mine invited me to tag along with a group of his friends going to Jet Club recently. When we rolled up to the entrance the first thing I noticed about the place was the number of top-end luxury sports cars in the parking lot. Beemers, Ferrari's etc.
We were over on the house music side of the complex, but I did wander over to check out the hip hop side. It was rammed with people. Heaving. Westerners were few and far between. Over on the techno side, we were offered two locations to occupy. The first option was upstairs directly in the path of the arctic air-con blower. So we opted for location #2, on the stairway landing in-between the floors. And we only got these choices cause our group had a few connections.
Great music but no real dance floor. Kind of a newer version of your standard Thai club. Order a bottle and stand around your table drinking. Very little mixing and co-mingling going on except on trips to the restroom. Speaking Thai is almost a prerequisite....

This has now moved to a massive building on Ekka mai across from Curve which is next to the Big C. Place to be see and been seen at the moment. Good luck getting a table or evening reserving one unless you know people.
Worth a shot though for the massive amount of eye candy.

Burger King being Burger King the world around, there's not much point in critiquing the food. When you order a Whopper set, you know what to expect.
I enjoy this Burger King because of it's location on Thong Lo, which is always a decent place to spend some time. As well, the outdoor seating affords some decent people watching opportunities, a favorite pastime of mine.
