There's a great one right next to your hotel.

there is plenty to do in 24 hrs. stay somewhere near soi 4(nana). have a massage anywhere, go get yourself a great curry from somewhere near soi 3, the arab district. this is a good idea because most curry anywhere else in thailand is not very good i've heard and experienced (at least by a arab/londoners standards), so you wont get one in a long time. then go to soi 4(nana plaza or other place) for fun times (first brush your teeth),

easyyyyy!!

There are some great curry houses all over Bangkok (as in Indian).

I personally would certainly not describe any around Soi 3 as being particularly good in comparison.

The point being made was you provided no info about where you were staying, so how can anyone advise you what is best in such a short time. We don't know how well you know Bangkok.

if you are staying near soi 4 which i already noted and advised... the best are next to soi 3. which is why i said go there because they are good in comparison to other places in *Thailand* in general... not bangkok specifically. if you are staying somewhere else then yes there are probably others maybe better. but

indian garden soi 10,

petruccis_son · #11 31-10-2007, 14:00

i know it. but too expensive!. posh indian places are always no good and lack character IMO

Indian Garden....posh??????

Namastee in Soi 8, what was Malaysian Aunties......but for me the best Indian restaurants by a mile are down Silom / Surawong.

Also Indus, Hazara, Balbirs, Hot Curry (my Indian friends rate this highest), Red and Rang mahal (now that is posh and overpriced in my book)

Which ones adjacent to soi 3 do you rate out of interest??
