Rest Note Cafe

Rest Note Cafe is somewhere which I was passing to get somewhere else - along the very long Phayathai Road as I was leaving the Victory Monument.

It was air-conditioned and it was quite quiet - about 11am in the morning. It was only after I left that I realized that there was also food available there - I was obviously there when the other people were only drinking as well.

I think that the location would appeal to a number of tourists - there was also a TukTuk adjacent to the table that I was sitting. But whilst I was there there were no tourists.

The coffee was was smooth and the water was ice cold.

ครัวแสงดาวเสือ

ครัวแสงดาวเสือ is a local restaurant that we were recently taken to. This is certainly somewhere different!

The restaurant is next to a main road and an enormous lake - so I have to say that it is in not the most scenic place to be AND you really need to know where to park because it seemed to me that we were parking on the main road.

Once this was done then I was introduced to the restaurant - this was certainly different - we were on a fixed (I think) pontoon on an enormous lake. Then came the clincher - the lake was full of enormous catfish - and you could buy the cheap loaves of bread from the staff at the front (think that it was 10 Baht each).

Then it was time for the food to eat...

Well after the beers were served.

As with many Thai restaurants the menu was not in English and I was a little lost so I just (as always) let the lovely people that I am with order the dishes.

I have little ideas what they are....

A restaurant that we certainly returned to.

After You

After You is somewhere we have visited many times and I apologise to them as to not posting previously. I have noticed that there are a great many of these around Thailand.

The first time we went we could not believe the there was such a queue outside and they were giving out numbers for you to be called to go in - AND there were lots people queuing in... We joined them - there had to be a reason!
