    This reminds me of a cool spot I was in Bangkok at the roof top restaurant with awesome view called the Dome at Lebua. Where they film the Hangover 2. It cost $600.00 USD for two people. Worth it for the experience not worth it for the food. 😅

The best food ever. 7,500THB (£186 or $220) for two including all food and cocktails. Looks like Le Du will be on the list for November when I return 😂

    Chris Come visit San Francisco, $125 is a bill for an average restaurant, ok for 3 people. A large Pizza will cost you $45 US. Dinner out at an average Thai restaurant will set you back $80 and you have to give a 20% tip on top, you will come out disgusted with what you got.
    So $125 for La Du is a darn good deal
