I'll be in Bangkok on July 11th/12th, possibly a couple of days prior to that and possibly the 13th as well.

I'm not sure where I'm staying yet, but as noted above will be around Bangkok the on the 11th as well. Do you and hiyo want to try for dinner somewhere around the Siam Square area on the 11th?

It might be best if someone who is more familiar with the available choices picks the restaurant, and we would appreciate someplace in the Siam Square area as mentioned. (NB - We will not have dressy clothes for high end places, coming from 10 days in Cambodia on our way to Mae Hong Son province for a week of trekking and rafting, but we promise we will be clean
)

)If you don't make it in for the 11th, I'd be up for lunch or dinner two nights, on the 11th with coolangatta and then again on the 12th with you and MrsHiyo.

While I've been to Thailand several times, I'm pretty much a beaches and beer kind of tourist, so I'm not sure I'm the best to recommend one - I'd love a recommendation for something a bit more local than my usual places in the area.

We are beach people also and will be casual, I thought mabe happyhour drink at one of the hotel bars, or saw a restaurant recommended on the forum here called Som Tan Paradise, Siam Square Soi 4, I thought it should be somewhere near our hotel and looked it up on the net but I'm still not sure? Are either of you on Skype? if so our Skype address is narelle17^
Don't know the restaurant but Siam Square Soi 4 should be easy enough. The capsule on wikitravel worries me a bit about the spice level but I'd be game to try

Googling it looks like the Siam City Hotel is on Sri Ayuthaya, by the Phaya Thai BTS station, so it would be two stops back to Siam Square or a doable but longish hike (I've done the walk from Siam Square to Panthip, which is about 60% of the distance.)
