I've eaten there.  I had nachos.  The portion was huge.  It was decent, but I wouldn't go across town for it.  I usually go there when I do my 90 day reporting.  I found the prices reasonable.

I have been a big fan of noodle soup for a long time.  I sample it everywhere.  Far and away the best I have ever had is shockingly close to my house.  I guess I got pretty luck in that regard.  He is so popular that I know of people making a 30-45 minute journey for a bowl of his soup under a dodgy roof on a small soi.  Once he opens, customers fill the place, and he will sell out within 2 hours, so there is a limited window of time to get there and get your soup!  He is on On Nut Soi 24 almost directly halfway between On Nut Road and Sukhumvit Soi 93 (the road is a cut through between the two).  It's a bit out of the way, but worth a stop if you are anywhere nearby.  He sells one thing and one thing only: Chicken Noodle Soup.  He seems to have mastered the art.  If it is your birthday, your noodle soup is free.  Unfortunately, I always seem to oversleep and miss it on my birthday.  My girlfriend has had the same problem for the last two years!  Not that 25 baht is going to break the bank.  I get double white meat chicken, so mine is 35 baht, but to each their own.

As for duck, I am not a big fan myself.  However, I have friends who love duck.  Although not the cheapest around, they swear by 'Duck 2 ways' at http://www.monsoonbangkok.com/ located on Sukhumvit Soi 8.  The ambiance is nice and the beer isn't too expensive.

Fried Chicken is another one of those things that I cannot seem to live without.  Again, I have sampled stalls all over the city.  My favorite is at Bang Jack Station.  There is a market on the odd numbered side of the street.  The second guy on the left selling southern style fried chicken is simply awesome.  I ate it for a month daily before I decided to limit myself to once a week because it certainly isn't good for you.  It sure beats anything else I have found.

My girlfriend is a big fan of Sukiyaki.  The best she has found is on On Nut Road around Soi 19 at a restaurant formerly known as Eat Good.  Now, it is under new ownership and has the name of Simply D.  It is opposite the Caltex station.

I guess you can figure out what part of town I live in!!!  That being said, I eat mostly western food, as I have grown tired of Thai food.  I am still looking for a place that does excellent Pad kapao moo.  It can be very hit or miss.  I haven't found that outstanding place yet.  Anyone have a favorite stall or restaurant for this dish?

Sorted now - I was using my home wifi - that's why!

I will need a converter for the microsim.  That app is all in Thai and is requiring a wifi password which I don't have!

Not to hijack the thread, but how can I check my balance with AIS?  I haven't got the slightest clue how to check.  The microsim is not compatible with my iPhone 3GS.  It is frustrating!
