Food centers are
usually found in large shopping malls and hotels and are unusual Thai
ventures. Numerous restaurants offer every imaginable type of Asian cuisine
and huge color pictures of dishes assist diners in their choices.
Open-air garden restaurants
and riverine restaurants are more peaceful and are favored in the evenings
by most people from Bangkok. Menus are extensive, service prompt, and
prices reasonable. Special dinners can be enjoyed on boats cruising the
Chao Phraya River. This way, soft breezes, candlelight dining, and distant
music create romantic atmospheres.
Seafood restaurants
are also popular. They offer a wide choice of fresh ingredients, charcoal
grilled or broiled to individual requests. This is usually accompanied
by a fine selection of local and imported wine.
Some tourist oriented
restaurants present selected Thai classical and folk dances while guests
sit around low tables, often in traditional surroundings with teak paneling
and precious porcelain. A combination of Thai cuisine, music, silk, orchids,
and graceful dances create memorable evenings for the visitors.
