Where to Eat
McDonald's
Bangkok and Beyond
It's McDonalds. Sometimes, though, it's what you need. Especially after being in Cambodia for a while. Hate me if you want, but dammit, sometimes I need a Big Mac.
Soi 3 Area
Bangkok
(December, 2010)
Just off Sukhumvit you got a bunch of middle eastern restaurants. Get your Shwarma, Hummus, Kofta... all that noise. Every trip I make to Bangkok I hit that area usually a couple times.

(June, 2012)
A very spacious sports bar/pool hall. TV's spread throughout the large room with well-spaced pool tables. The darts, pool, bar, and eating areas are kept separate, making moving through the space very manageable. Beers run in the standard Bangkok neighborhood of 90-100 Baht. Signs also advertised occasional live music, for which there seemed like there would be more than enough space.
The Sportsman is also a place where you can play some of the best dart players in town. Their friday night lucky draw tournament brings in a crowd of recreational players as well as national level darters. There's a 200 baht entry and all the money is paid out in prizes.
