i prefer dinner at face

I think you have a very good list. Bob's recommendations are heavy on Italian. While Biscotti is excellent if you are craving Italian by that point in your trip, L'Opera is merely ok, perhaps a place for lunch rather than dinner.

Better Dim Sum lunch would be at the Penninsula Hotel!

Lunch: Jim Thompson house, cool space, good green papaya salad

Dinner: Loved Thiptara at the Peninsula, ate there twice because kids fell asleep in room, stunning setting, get river view table, we like very spicy food - this didn't disappoint

how could i have forgotten the penn's dim sum...

Tongue Thai and Harmonique were two of our favorite meals in BKK. We also did a great Food tour that provided some memorable tastings/meals. Here's a thread on the food tour

JT house lunch---pomello salad--best in bkk

Rang Mahal (Indian) is great for dinner as well - wonderful views too.

Warm greetings Marija, and congratulations again on forthcoming Bangkok holiday. (And, kudos for booking the Peninsula; well done. Will always have the fondest memories of joyous times at that property, particularly various Loy Krathongs, Valentine's Days and a memorable King celebration in Dec. '11 with the loved one.)

Bit rushed on this Singapore morning, but can't resist giving the continued highest praise to the Chon Thai restaurant at The Siam resort. Latest dining experience was last weekend during an all too brief and long overdue holiday stay at that magnificent Mandarin Oriental. (If so inclined, my review of the MO was just listed on my profile page.)

And, would be remiss in not mentioning my all-time favourite Thai cuisine: Book the Cook's Thai offerings, flying SQ J from our fine home of Singapore to beloved Bangkok for meetings and occasional holiday. Fine as ever late last week, for our SQ celebration flight from SIN to BKK.

Much more to recommend, perhaps this weekend if not sooner. Until then, savour your planning and warm New Year wishes to you and all,

... Singapore Girl, You're a Great Way to Fly ...

Thanks for your suggestions!

Mr Macintosh (Robert)
I have been advised to search for an excellent forum member who has compiled a list of restaurants in Bangkok. May I ask - is this you, as I cannot get any results in a search "Bob - Bangkok - Restaurant List"
If so, FOUR of us are staying at The Empire Place - Marriott Timeshare.
We would be looking for certainly 4 star, but potentially 5 star places for both lunch and dinner.
We are there for 7 days before we go down to Phuket
Thank you for ANY advice.
