Our local restaurant - Thoei Hom
Thoei Hom is a typical, rural Thai restaurant and is just a short walk from MetroPark.
However it IS a typical Thai, rural restaurant, where "Sabai Sabai" rules. What is Sabai Sabi? Check out the link.
Thoei Hom is a great place to have a few beers and a good meal. If you just want to chill of an evening - you need to check it out.
If you want to see a typical Thai restaurant (sometimes frustrating, sometimes amazing) you need to take the short walk to Thoei Hom
Personally, I go there, maybe once or seven times a week! My Italian friend, Andrea, and I call it "Church".

A rural setting
Although Thoei Hom is located in the middle of Bangkok (between Sathorn and Rama II) it is still in the jungle. It is as relaxing as MetroPark!
This is Mr. Sommit, owner of Thoei Hom and our genial host.

Don't be surprised!
If a half-naked guy (affectionately known as "Mini Me") walks through the restaurant with a hose - don't be surprised or alarmed - it's accepted.
He means you no harm!
He is just maintaining the plant life during the dry season - he will not water your whisky!

Rural
You cannot get anymore rural than this!
This is rural Thailand in the Center of Bangkok.

Interesting and rustic
Thoei Hom was built for local Thai people!
I don't think they factored in the "Tourist" aspect of the attraction - and it's amazing.
Where else in Bangkok can you sit in a Natural Garden and enjoy a good meal and drinks?

Bangkok at it's most idylic
Since I've lived at MetroPark, I am astounded at the sights I see everyday.
In five years - I learn something new everyday.
