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 have been eager to try this place since I read the review by Stevied on this site from back in Novemeber. He mentions that the salsas are hot, and that’s the way I like it. Well, finally today I did try it, and I’m sorry I waited so long.
Move over, Bangkok, there is actually real Mexican food here! I went with a friend today, and between the two of us, we shared soft and crispy tacos, burritos, a quesadilla and quacamole and chips with salsa. None disappointed. I personally did not think that the salsas were overly hot; they will only offend the most delicate of palates. As for me, I am insane about heat. And the wait staff was more than happy to adjust the heat to my tastes WITH FRESH INGREDIENTS. Simply delicious. Reasonable prices, too.
The atmosphere? Well, it is not so flashy, kinda quaint actually. Our waitress was engaging .. well more than that, she was a lot of fun.
Of course, not all is perfect. Today, the margaritas were on special, so they got by with it, but the normal price for beer and booze is too high. When I go for a relaxing meal, I want to sit back and enjoy it with a drink or four. It is hard to enjoy at 100+ baht for a 330 ml beer or 160 baht for a margarita. They should at least have a daily happy hour. (The margaritas are pretty darn good, though!)
This food is perhaps the best Mexican in Bangkok. Best I have had, by far. So on that strength, it should rate a 5-star. But the expensive drinks and lack of a DAILY HAPPY HOUR do detract from the potential enjoyment factor.
I rate this restaurant a 4-star.

I am a big fan of authentic Mexican and was pleasantly surprised with how authentic the food here is. I have not been to another place like this in Bangkok. It’s not tex-mex or cali-mex or sw-mex, this is mexico city-mex. Great stuff.
The fajitas I would not recommend if you like the TGIF Fridays version, which imo is better, but other than that, everything was great. The guacamole and chips/salsa were the best I’ve tasted in Bangkok.
This is a small and cozy little restaurant and will now be a regular eating establishment in the future. Great job.

Superb, I’m told authentic-tasting Mexcian food at a decent price, all cooked up by a guy from Mexico City.
I normally start with a plate of freshly-cooked tortilla chips on which to ledle the three salsas provided - all of which have a real kick, especially the green chilli.
Then, the sky’s the limit really with the full range of Mexcian specialities on offer - if I had to pick a favourite it would be the taquitos - rarely seen anywhere else.
The only real downside is the relatively small portions of meat, but it’s all decent stuff and, frankly, the real treat here is the soaring hot salsas that even those with a taste for Thai food would find a challenge.
