Monday Street Cleaning
Fans of street food be forewarned that all of Bangkok's stalls close on Monday for com-
pulsory street cleaning (the results of which are not entirely evident come Tuesday morn-
ing). If you happen to be in the city on this day, take advantage of the lull to perhaps visit
one of the city's upscale hotel restaurants, which virtually never close.

ng
(foreign) fine-dining restaurant, D'Sens is
perched like an air traffic control tower atop the Dusit Thani hotel. A venture of
French wonder-twins Laurent and Jacques Pourcel, creators of the Michelin-starred
Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, France, the restaurant is handsome yet modern
and the menu draws from the traditions of the south of France, relying mainly on
high-quality French imports for its ingredients.
