● 曼谷美食、購物
泰國的消費水平不高，不管是美食還是購物，都比廣州要便宜30%左右。因此，曼谷的美食和購物是很值得推薦的節目。
泰國菜講究酸、辣、鹹、甜、苦五味的互相平衡，通常以鹹、酸、辣為主，而帶著一點甜，大量使用香料和椰奶，很是有特色。我們在泰國的10天，除了早上酒店的自助早餐意外，基本上以泰國菜為主，冬陰功更是每頓必點的，到最後盡管有點想念中國菜，但相比在歐洲的時候到最後聞到三明治就想吐是要幸福的多了。（Siam附近的Home Kitchen餐館，在這裡，我們吃到了泰國之行最美味的咖喱蟹）餐館的選擇主要參考了Frodos Choice和眾多攻略的介紹。我在出發之前，准備了以下餐館：Ban Khun Mae

Fodors Review:
This casually upmarket Siam Square restaurant is where the locals go if they want to enjoy skillful, authentic Thai cuisine in an atmosphere thats a couple of notches above that of the simple family restaurants. The room is dark, comfortable, and inviting, filled with big round tables. Start with the sensationalkhung sa oug (a plate of sweet and silky raw shrimp delightfully balanced with chili and garlic), and continue with pla rad pig (deep-fried grouper with sweet-and-sour hot sauce). Finish with the unique tum tim krob (water chestnut dumpling in coconut syrup with tapioca).

Fodors Review:
A true hole-in-the-wall across the street from Langsuan Soi 6, this kitchen shines as one of the best places in the city for authentic local cuisine; its where many local groups of friends go to celebrate the simple act of eating delicious food. Dont miss the tom yum goong (hot-and-sour soup with giant river prawns), which is redolent of lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, and galangal; a delicately crispy oyster omelet; crispy catfish salad with green mango; or the fried whole fish in chili-and-lime sauce. Such classics simply excel here, and you owe it to yourself to try all of them before leaving Bangkok.

Polo Fried Chicken

ØPrice range: ￠-$
ØCuisine: Thai
ØLocation: Pratunam and Siam Square
Fodors Review:
After offering only a lunch menu for decades, Polo Fried Chicken finally responded to its unwaning popularity by expanding its hours until 10 PM. The addition of an air-conditioned dining room is also a recent concession to its loyal clientele. Here youll get world-class fried chicken, flavored with black pepper and plenty of golden-brown garlic; the best way to sample it is with sticky rice and a plate of som tam, all for only B170. The place is a bit hard to find—as you enter Soi Polo, its about 50 yards in on your left. At lunchtime, you need to get here before noon to snag a table before the office workers descend. The restaurant will deliver to your hotel (if youre reasonably close to Lumphini Park) for B30.
ØKeep in mind: Reservations not accepted.

Fodors Review:
This spacious restaurant has little atmosphere, but its where the true seafood aficionados go to splurge. Though its expensive by Thai restaurant standards, its still a bargain compared to hotel restaurants, and many dishes here cannot be found outside of Thailand: deep-fried parrot fish served with shallots, sliced green mango in tamarind sauce, delectable mud crabs, enormous charcoal-grilled river prawns, Chinese-style mantis prawns, and raw crab. Even though its a little out of the way, this temple to seafood is not to be missed.

對以上餐館有興趣的朋友，可以參考我在Google Earth上標注的地圖：
（上圖是曼谷的總覽，Amari Atrium是頭幾天住的酒店，Amari Watergate是我們最後一天住的酒店，Central World、Emporium是購物點，四面佛是旅游景點，其他就是餐館）
（Central World附近的明細地圖）
需要留意的是，泰國的餐館與國內的餐館不同，他們都有營業時間，下午2點-5點都會關門不營業，所以各位朋友記住不要光顧著逛街，錯過了飯點。
冬陰功（Tom Yam Gong，酸辣蝦湯）、Red Curry Prawn（紅咖喱大蝦）、Curry Crab（咖喱蟹）、Baked Fish（烤魚）、Tom Tim Krob（椰奶甜品）是我們最常點的菜，也是我們覺得最有特色的泰國菜。
購物，我們則去了Siam Paragon、Emporium和Central World，建議多買國際品牌和本地特色品牌，尋常的衣服、鞋子等等東西估計大部分都是Made in China，國內的價格更有優勢。Naraya是一個泰國本地品牌的女包店，在Central World等地方都能找到分店，價格確實便宜（幾十人民幣為主）而且產品有特色，裡面幾乎給中國人包了，都是十個八個的買。至於化妝品和煙酒，留待最後在曼谷機場買吧，那裡的免稅店比首都機場、白雲機場都要強得多。
