I can easily find shops or food stalls that can prepare a few Thai dishes and served with rice.

Any such place in BKK around the touristy area like Siam Square, Silom, etc ?

I know there are restaurants everywhere in BKK but we are looking for outstanding Thai food. I am sure there ......

Thank you very much GF132,

1st one - is this a good enough place for a full meal ?  Is it in air-cond ?
2nd one - Good location, may try it out.
3rd one - A little out of the way.
4th one - sounds good and look authentic but is this place near to any attraction, how far from any BTS ? That google map is in Thai and small, how can I find it in google map ? If I call to reserve, can they speak English ?

Thanks again. I always see alot of people eating by the roadside, outside near Central World bridge before crossing to Pratunam. A few stalls sell the same type of large fish covered with salt with other food. Is it good there ? Why so many people eat there despite the uncomfortable crowded environmement ? I am tempted to try.

1st place has air con.
3rd place is right where locals hang out at night. Many nice bars
4th place not in walking distance from any tourist spots but with a cab, it's very close to the temple of emerald Buddha.
Never tried The food stall near but can be good. It's probably cheaper too. The fish covered in salt is generally a tasty dish.
Hope this helps

In response to your question number 4. On the map, in the bottom left hand corner, where it says "powered by Google" - Simply click there. The map will then open in full in Google maps.

Samsen soi 2 in Banglamphu (near Khao San) have an excellent little street food restaurant which does excellent duck meals. It's opposite the 7Eleven and the tables are outside and inside. It's not a fancy restaurant, however the quality of food there is decent and the price won't hurt your wallet either.

The food isn't bad there but they have a tendency to pad the bill out a fair bit.
