I think that it is an incredible environment to indulge in some wondrous Thai-Chinese foods with the added ambiance. Thanks for the other suggestions of places and areas to eat!

The menu selection is quite sparse with a very small range of items. The ones we tried, were average at best. The duck massaman was coal black in color, lacked flavor, had two small pieces of duck and the potatoes were fossilized (I thought they might be taro at first taste). We had a few other dishes, which were too bad, but utterly unmemorable. The staff was also very amateur. They were nice and tried hard, but in a restaurant like this one expects some basic familiarity with the menu. I had figured that the reason you hadn't followed up with more reviews is that you had the same experience. But maybe I was wrong. The only thing that stood out in my mind is that when we left the Sukhothai Hotel everyone working there knew the place, so they have done a good marketing job at high end hotels. On a slightly positive note, it wasn't all that expensive compared to other highly touted restaurants.

I love to eat in BKK, and will arrive from Germany in a few days. I know bo.lan and also Sorndaeng (really delicious, specially the banana flower salad), and some of your other recommendations too. Looking forward to explore all the others! Thank you, Dorrie Hi Austin,
