Guidebook for Bangkok
Food Scene
Mexican Food - This is the best Mexican food in Bangkok and best Mexican food outside of Mexico. Fun to go. I searched Thailand for good Mexican food with mostly dissappointment but this place does impress me. Its a classy place that really reminds me of my Mexico vacations. My favorites: Quesadillas, Baja fish tacos, Ceviche
They even deliver with their amazing drinks too its so cool!
Its good for a visitor to Bangkok because its close to a BTS Skytrain Station Asoke so easy to walk next to Rembrandt Hotel

Good Italian. They are a really nice place to go for a slightly swank date or business enternaining. I have done couple dates with my girlfriend here and entertained international guests here. I have been here a few times and the menu is always good. Its not located on the BTS line so you will have to take the BTS and then a short taxi.
