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..
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.

This is a great hotel, in a great location. I have stayed here many times as a business traveller. The location is close to the expressways, so a quick exit out of town, but also back in. The hotel is very close to the nightlife, if that is what you like, or you can easily avoid it. Having said that the nightlife is entertaining and not too seedy in this area. Across from the hotel lies Soi4, with lots of bars, poolbars, restaurants etc. This is more adult orientated. As I said before, this is easily avoidable by turning left out of the hotel, to the end which brings you on to the main Sukhumvit Road. 5 minutes walk to Ploenchit BTS, or 10 minutes to Nana BTS.
Back to the Hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms very clean with great views across the city. I recommend a deluxe room. The breakfast is buffet style with a wide choice of food from around the world. There is a small pool on the 7th floor, same floor as you have breakfast. Not a big pool, but did you come to Bangkok to swim? Adequate for a cool off after a days sightseeing. The major gripe I hear about this hotel is that there are only two lifts. Easy to solve, slow down to the Thai way, we are just always in a hurry!
A lovely lobby, light, airy and cool welcomes you to the Majestic Grande.
