Kade and I once lived near this Bangkok street - Thong Lor. And we tried all but one of the food places listed in this article. The mango stand was always a favorite to gawk at. Not long ago, we got the Pad Thai and Crispy Oyster Omelet at Hoy Tod Chao Lay.
A couple of images I took in 2011.
Top, a mango stand. And bottom, the Sukhumvit, Thong Lor intersection.
I enjoyed walking down to Thong Lor my first couple of days in January. Even made a video in a coffee shop. Sutti Mansion still looks the same, yes, but Thong Lor seemed run down. There were some businesses that had a new look back in 2005, but now seem dirty. Maybe it's b/c I have been in the US a long time, and have gotten used to things here. However, if I lived in Bangkok, Thong Lor would still be a draw. The food stops are good, including the places you mentioned. I think of Thong Lor, you and the visits to Starbucks, Baskin Robbins and the Japanese places. I certainly was impressed with the condo and hotel development along Sukhumvit in January. - e-mail to a friend 06/2013
