Have not been but I've driven past it and it looks big. From googling I've found their email address - [email protected] Maybe they serve more than food there?

Oh, I was unaware that one only had to eat Thai food in Thailand to make their experience more legit.
Trust me, Mango, we eat plenty of local Thai food while we vacation ...it doesn't make or break our trip to ONLY eat the food of the country we're visiting.

So sorry, filmwill. I consider Chinese food to be the bottom level of all cuisines, and especially when in Asia or worse, Thailand. Maybe you should enrich your culinary experience even further by eating McDonalds or KFC. Bon Appetit!

Balance is everything. Just before Mango gets monstered completely I'll just add my two cents worth: I rather enjoy Mango's caustic remarks. They make me chuckle. Sorry guys, but they do.
You know, they usually start off as a joke and then turn rancid when everybody jumps on him. So now look what's happening... heh.
I think the board is richer for Mango and his eccentric cousins. Maybe I'm one of them. It's certainly more fun.
I reckon, behind that gruff exterior, Mango might just be an ol' pussy cat. But you must never step on an ol' pussy cat's tail - 'cos then they'll scratch you to death.
O.K., you've had a breather - go for it.

I guess I must have missed the joke in his question/response...all I read was the judgmental part.
But alas, we've already spent too much time talking about this. Can this thread now end? Or can we get back to talking about China Gate in Bangkok?

Filmwill,
The majority of the Chinese in Thailand are Teochew followed by Hainanese and a few others ethnicity or dialect groups. You will find many good Chinese restaurant cooking specialty food from those region of China that I've mentioned in Thailand. There are quite a lot of Thai Chinese restaurants that are very famous and even Chinese from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong would fly over to enjoy.
If you can be more specific on the type of Chinese cuisine you like to try I will be more than happy to recommend restaurants to you. Please note that some Thai Chinese restaurants in Bangkok will require reservation up to 4 months in advance.
Mango7,
You never did reply to my question which I ask from you on another post. To refresh your memory - http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=35153257
What are some of your favourite "real" Thai food. You know the non "faux-Thai tourist-targeted Chinese food" so that others can enjoy.
You've also mentioned that your wife is "real" Thai with no other ethnicity mixed in(sadly the editor have deleted your wonderful comment). What part of Thailand is she from? You do know that Thai food is split into five distinct grouping right so what are some of her favourite dishes and from which region of Thailand are those dishes from?
Please share so other will learn!

No wonder why so many people on here ignore you.
