seeking restaurants in the following cities:

HANOI
HOI AN
BANGKOK
HUA HIN

have travelled to each place before but hoping to find new or overlooked experiences--- sorry no street food. 24th SEA trip

I enjoyed Supatra River House in Bangkok, on the "other" side of the river, south of Siriraj between Wang Lang & Wat Rakhang piers. On a pedestrian street, the patio has a fine view across the river to the Royal Palace & vicinity. https://www.supatrariverhouse.net/

For Bangkok, I think 2 must-try restaurants are Le Du and Mezzaluna. Both are in Silom area.

thanks, been to them all

MORE??

Why am I not surprised.

Bob, you may want to try the cooking of Jae Fai, the woman who was awarded a Michelin star for her street cooking. See my thread about the new Netflix series.

I'd try any busy restaurant, where there is unlikely to be any problem with the turnover of good fresh food. But I'd always check out the Rest Room first, as it's often a good indication of what the hygiene in the kitchen might be like.

Foodland Supermarket - Took Lae Dee Restaurant. Good food cheap! In Bangkok and other big cities in Thailand. Lunch counter type food. Open 24 hours.

Because you are inside, not exactly street food but maybe some dishes may be the same - Terminal 21 Food Court, Bangkok. (Asoke area right at a Skytrain stop.) Doesn't cost anything to look. Seats and tables to relax at. Mall has toilets to clean your hands off too. Running water for the cooks to wash with. I think it is worth a look.

(Unless you are only looking for expensive- fancy places to eat at.)


Up to you.

When we go to rest in Thailand, we always go to dinner in Cabbages & Condoms. We like this particular restaurant. It has a great interior, friendly staff and very tasty cuisine.
