The other night we went out in Ratchathewi. Ratchathewi is one stop north of Siam on the BTS and we had arranged to meet at a bar down there. Across from the station is a road that is closed to traffic and has quite a few bars on. It looked pretty Thai as we approached but the only bar we went in happened to be about 95% farrang but it was a good night and somewhere I plan to go back to and explore some more.
There didn’t appear to be any lady bars so if you are looking for somewhere ‘normal’ to go out it looks like it could be worth checking out and makes a change from Khao San.
Can anyone recommend any good bars or places to go out in Bangkok that aren’t mock ye olde English/Irish pubs or hooker bars?
There is a fabulous restuarant in Siam Center called T42. It’s unassuming so you might not notice it. I found a detailed review with directions online by doing a Google search. Try it. I found it by accident a few years back and eat there often on every trip to Bangkok. Love the Lime Basil Slush and the Tamarind Fried Chicken, Kale and Marinated Shrimp salad, Fried Morning Glory, etc.

Sounds great Floyd. Thanks for the recommendation.
