Lonely Planet review for Smiling BKK

Locals will kill us for including this indie hole-in-the-wall Thai gem, but it’s too good not to share. The walls of the cheek-by-jowl space are covered with hipster mishmash (think Van Gogh paint-by-numbers postcards), and scratchy rock-and-roll blaring through big speakers (sit outside for quiet conversation). A Thai national cooks your dinner. The food is good, sometimes very good, but what’s even better is the adventure of finding this underground bo-ho hangout. (Hint: look for the moustachioed neon Mona Lisa, just west of the Jumeirah Post Office.)
