What passes for Chinese cooking in US buffet restaurants is a crime. But then the typical clientele looks like they stepped out of http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/.

However at most thai restaurants in thailand they "dumb" down how spicy foods are for you unless you specifically ask for them to make it "real" style. Some make it too sweet or such to suit tourists tastes.
Some local Thai and Isaan food is excellent, ask your bar girl to take you to eat real Isaan food or such at a local place and make sure to tell them to make it authentic.
If you find yourself as the only non thai in the restaurant... then you're probably have a half way decent chance to get more authentic food but make sure to ask for it. If you are in a place full of foreigners, I'll wager you're not getting real authentic food.

Posts: 305Okay, not a BKK restaurant report but -
One time when visiting friends in the States I convinced them to try a new Thai restaurant (Evanston, Chicago area). Great looking place, great service when we arrived, I recommended we try one starter between us of the green papya salad thinking "that'll blow yer heads off".
Said salad arrives - nada chillis involved. I felt well let down. Asked the waitress why it was so bland and she giggled behind her hand. "not for here". Oh well.

Posts: 76Comparing Thai Food
I live in Massachusetts, USA. there are many Thai restaurants around here and I try one every week, sometimes twice. I guess I consider my self the local expert on Thai restaurants. I think its great that I do not have to fly 27 hours to enjoy Thailand. I can do it right here.
In August I will be coming to Bangkok and will eat as much Thai food as I can. It will be interesting to see if I can handle the spices of Thailand vs what I am use to here. I wonder how different the food will be.
This is a great thread. Thank you so much.
BTW, I love to visit them when there are 2 feet of snow on the ground and enjoy the Thai staff as they try to cope with the cold and the snow...

I might stop by here for a beer or some nachos, but I won't go back for dinner.

Posts: 881Dinner at Livingstones
I ate the coiled up German sausage smothered in onions with mashed potatoes and creamed cauliflower (sorry I forgot the menu name). It was very tasty and I would highly recommend it. The service was attentive too. Sorry I missed you Giotto but you were busy with four guests next to the pool while I was there. I left my name and regards with the lady at the side desk.

Posts: 69Los Cabos Soi 14
A new Mexican restaurant opened on Soi 14 called Los Cabos. A really nice American from San Diego is the owner.
This may be the best Mexican food you can get in Bangkok. It isn't as good as what you'll get in Texas or Southern California. But it is pretty good.
Great hand shaken margaritas served in a very nice outdoor bar area. A very comfortable place to drink and eat.
It is directly across from Suda, a Thai restaurant previously discussed in this section.

The only appealing thing is that they give you free condoms... but you might want to try them at your own risk. Probably made in china and too small for a normal dick.
