Last night we had a visit from Fred and Judy (of Wingsail) who are in Bangkok for a few days to pick up their visiting granddaughter Candice. We are very fortunate to be here at the same time. They came to visit us at the Ascott and helped the kids decorate the christmas tree. They also very kindly brought early christmas presents with the kids which they were delighted with - thank you again Fred and Judy.
Later we went to dinner round the corner at Le Lys which is a homely Thai restaurant run and owned by a French man and his Thai wife. We first went there with my parents back when we were living here and found the home cooked thai food fantastic. And we weren't disappointed last night. We had a duck red curry and a massaman beef curry which were both winners but what I really enjoyed was the carrot som tam and the smoked eggplant salad which we had to get seconds of.
The restaurant is both outdoors and indoors and has a lovely bohemian feel to it. They even have petanque / boules at the back - look closely at the back of the restaurant on the picture below. This place is a real gem and a must visit for visitors who want to stray from the tourist trail.
