FREE Internet Access and other Bangkok, Thailand Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: UCC Cafe City 21

Thanks VT member Yen_2 introduced me with this cafe on our VT Meeting. I came here almost everyday, simply because they have free internet. Since most internet places in Bangkok charge 1-2 Bhat per minute, their slow connection will easily kill me 40-50 Bhat, must well I sit here nicely to eat while surfing the net!

Favorite Dish: I love the Ice Mocha Freeze here. For food,
I like the Beef Macaroni with tomato sauce, and Spinich Selmon Spaghetti with white sauce. I thing I don't like is that the portion here VERY SMALL. One dish cannot fufill my stomach.

You must be careful of what you eat before you purchase from street food stalls. Check over all ingredients carefully for freshness and hygiene. Generally, noodle soups, stir-fry, and satay (hot stuff) tend to be fine. Try to avoid eating anything raw (including vegetables), anything that looks undercooked, or drinks with ice (most places buy ice made from bottled water, only to drag the ice bags along the filthy sidewalks!).

Street stalls are convenient & inexpensive and are popular among public in Bangkok. I was having diner at Convent Road near Silom, with beer bought over from 7-Eleven. The "Tom Yam" soup was good.

Restaurant Name: BELCONY PUB

Silom Soi 4, a short lane off Silom crammed with bars and restaurants that caters exclusively to the gay community. a few minutes from Sala Daeng BTS SkyTrain Station. Balcony Pub is one of the famous gay bar in this lane. Cheap drink, all beer at 49 Bhat before 9pm. Food quality average, lotsa MSG. Waiters are all Thai boy, friendly but very "SiSi".

Ahh... I forgot the name of this easting house. But I remember the taste of the Duck Rice, it was very nice. They serve Teochew style braised duck, with rice or porridge, and soup of the day (Chinese style). It only cost me 68 Bhat for the delicious Duck rice.

Directions: 2 mins walk from BTS Sala Daeng Station. Turn into Convent Road when you see Liberty Square (California Fitness), the eating house in on your right hand side.

Reno Cafe is attached to Reno Hotel, located in a small lane opposit to MBK. The cafe itself is very cute and clean. It has that retro-art-deco-Miami look to it, despite the fact that there's no beach nearby. They have live band playing music at night, a good chill out place if you live nearby.
