The bold patterns and graphics of its interior
and exterior make the S31 a fun, young-feeling choice. Thoughtful touches like kit-
chenettes with large fridge, superhuge beds and free courses (cooking, Thai boxing and
yoga) prove that the style also has substance.
Eating
No matter where you go in Bangkok, food is always there. There is so much variety just
on the street that you can go days without stepping inside a restaurant. When the need
comes for a restaurant, Bangkok's best are the decorless family shops. All the great inter-
national cuisines, from French to Japanese, are available too.
Ko Ratanakosin, Banglamphu & Thonburi
The old areas of town near the river are full of simple Thai eats and, because of the travel-
ler presence on and around Th Khao San, Western and vegetarian food as well.
