daywalker:
This film is a let down. I should of realized it with the star being Angelina Jolie. She plays the usual secret agent kick ass character that you know is going to win every fight and save the day without breaking a nail.
An easy watch, but there are much better films around at the moment. Wait for it to come out on DVD and save the cinema experience for a cool film.
daywalker:
Totally amazing. One of those films that doesn't make a lot of sense until you're half way through.. then you spend time thinking back to the earlier part of the film to piece it together.
Most things with DiCaprio in are bound to be good.
Amazing effects, but then these days, we come to expect it. Whoever had the idea of this movie has one active imagination.
See it at the cinema, or buy a really big TV.
Pay attention, or you'll be wanting to see it a second time.
jerry:
very nice service and reasonable price just step any from BTS(Sky train) also the restaurant, downstairs, is fine like dine in an old Bangkok history house. I'll come again
jerry:
this is worth to have diner here, delicious Thai food around old history house can't find anywhere like this in Bangkok,
Movie Mey:
The film misses out a good 89% of what makes up the amazing Nickelodeon series and misrepresents the other 11%.
I feel that no one in this movie bothered to watch a single episode. The best thing about this movie is the sets and costume design but maybe that's because I was too busy wishing the characters weren't there.
My recommendation would be not to waste your money on this abysmal movie or any sequels (please no!) but purchase the original box sets instead, they are a much better investment.

For 3 to 5 hundred dollars you can get a good quality custom made suit in Bangkok. The keys to success are:
1. Know what you want and be able to explain it to the person you are ordering from. Sounds simple, but many people get all excited when they walk in a shop and a week later are disappointed because the suit isn’t really what they wanted. The tailor probably could have fulfilled their request, but your wishes were never properly communicated.
2. Ensure the company you are working with is legitimate. They should stand by their work, and make as many adjustments as necessary until you are satisfied.
3. Know what you want. I know I said this already, but you have to know what you want when it comes to every detail here.
My personal recommendations for value –
Bangkok – Tailor Pro – I can’t say enough about the owner,Sam who overseas all of the cutting in his shop, is Zegna certified, Italian educated, and has family in the business working in Rome.
Khang:
I "discovered" this restaurant back in February (2010). I actually dismissed it at first as I assumed that any place advertising cal-mex food would be too bland for my taste. I like the spicier style of Mexican. But I did notice that the place was located very conveniently, about a 30 second walk from the base of the steps at Asok BTS station.
Then I found out that one of the owners was previously if not still an owner of Great American Rib Company (GARC), a place I had enjoyed in the past. That tipped the scale, so one day while near Asok, I stopped in and had ribs.
As expected, they were very good, albeit a different style of sauce than GARC. I can't say which is better, I think it would depend on the day of the week or what flavor of beer I had before eating them that would make the difference.
I was very impressed with the facility. Quaint and pleasant surroundings with a variety of options (outside, inside, bar, air-con, upstairs, street-side, etc.). Nicely done. So I knew I would be coming back.
So the next time I went, I gave the Mexican food a try. As I had feared, it was far too pedestrian for my palate. I asked for hot sauce or peppers, but only got the standard US fare of tabasco-styled sauces: not what I was looking for. The food did not lack quality, just that flavorful kick that I appreciate so much. But still, with the service and friendliness of the wait staff, the overall experience was good.
It was on my third visit that I found the secret. I was at the bar enjoying drinks, and I spoke to a waiter about the "heat factor." He told me about the sauces- the same as I had been given before- but this time I pressed the issue. I described the peppers that I have seen used in my favorite Mexican food, and he knew them immediately. He said that the cooks keep them for their own use. THAT WOKE UP THIS FOOD. He brought them out finely chopped in a small bowl, and I added to my own satisfaction. Now this is how it should be.
Since, I have been a regular customer at Los Cabos. But it is more than just the food, drinks, facility and wait staff. When the afternoon/evening crowd arrives, the place is just fun- it has character. The layout of the bar is such that it promotes easy socialization. A good place to meet friends and make new ones. The only downside here is that it would be nice if the bar area was even bigger.
Conclusion: Highly Recommended.
Rating: 4.5 (see below)
Suggestions:
-Offer a variety of spice condiments and publish this information on the menu. There are just too many in Bangkok that like spicy food to ignore them. (Gee, I wonder why ?)
-At the bar, offer a complimentary or VERY inexpensive finger-food like nuts or chips and salsa so customers can enjoy more margaritas.

I've been here many times as the food is excellent. I like the outside picnic tables when the weather is nice. Very nice atmosphere.
My problem is with the service..the waitresses are daydreaming most of the time. I literally went to the bar myself for more drinks as they just weren't paying attention.
bobonzo:
I have walked past here 1000 times and finally decided to stop in. Very crowded and busy. The pizza-making guys were flat out. Service was quick and they kept my beer coming. Pizza was very good and I enjoyed the whole experience.
bobonzo:
ate here last night for 1st ime and will go back..great atmosphere and great food....i loved sitting outside on the veranda...place was packed..
I actually learned of this bar from this website. After reading over the menu at their website, I decided to give it a try.
I was not disappointed. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Good beer selection, too, even if a bit pricey.
Upon our arrival, the first floor was about full, so we were relegated to the second. Owner followed us up and gave us a rundown on the place. He was very friendly, accommodating and informative … enthusiastic even.
The place has a pretty impressive TV setup, offering a variety of viewing options. We didn’t take advantage of that on our visit, but I certainly plan to check it out soon.
The only negative aspect to the experience was that the wait staff, two attractive but inattentive girls, seemed downright bored. Now granted, we were the only occupied table on the second floor, and we were not a male-only party and not seeking their engagement, but their apathy did dampen what was an otherwise very good experience.
That apathy is the only reason this bar did not garner a rating of 5. Conclusion: Recommended.

Found this to be one of the friendliest most enjoyable bars in BKK. Wondered in and was greeted by a very friendly Aussie owner, who asked what sport I might be interested in watching-he had read me very well!
Bar has several sound zones so could have commentary at any one time from the cricket, ARL and football when I was in there. Excellent selection of beers, have Coopers Yellow in bottles, expensive but a real treat after any length of time on the Singha et al

This has been one of my favorite bars since it opened about two years ago.
The food menu is fairly extensive and offers both Thai food and Western fare. I have sampled the menu much more broadly than dreampipe, and for the prices charged I reckon the quality is very good.
The owners are actively involved in the business, and there are indeed TVs everywhere, with a variety of sports available day and night. The whole system runs through a computerized system that allows the channels to be changed and volume turned up and down among the different TVs so that many customers can be accommodated with several different sports from around the world at the same time.
Unlike dreampipe, I have found this to be one of the MOST relaxing places to chill out. The secret is at the back of the bar on the ground floor where you’ll find a small room with eight upholstered tub chairs, two small coffee tables and 3 tvs mounted on the walls. I have spent six or seven hours at a time watching cricket matches unwind slowly as I order repeatedly from the food menu and sip cold bottles of beer.
There is a good quality pool table on the third or fourth floor, along with two more tv screens.
This is MY KIND of bar, and I highly recommend it.

Had a tasty breakfast for a good price. Wasn’t a knockout punch but for the money I thought it was okay.
Motorcycle racing was on and there are TVs everywhere. For some reason I don’t like the tables and chairs - just not the most comfortable for chilling and reading the bar.
So I chilled at the bar.
Menu looks tasty and quite reasonable so probably will be back to sample a pie.
The service was good and this is a no-hassle place near cowboy.
