It used to be my favorite restaurant in Bangkok, but they recently increased the price of every dish by 50 percent while adding 17% VAT (lol) to the total bill. The food was still delicious (to me, at least), but my friend who ordered stuffed chicken got food poisoning that night (he hadn't eaten all day, so it must have come from this restaurant), and my partner told me they must have changed the chef because the Thai food no longer tastes as good as it did before.

I do not believe it is the most effective marketing strategy for a restaurant to charge significantly more for just a few extras than an average restaurant. We arrived at 8 pm, and the restaurant was empty. Yes, the garden is beautiful, but that's just it. We used to stop by this restaurant for the food, not the garden (remember, it's a restaurant, guys).

Well, you could either dine at Scarlett, a semi-gastronomic rooftop restaurant with a fantastic view over Bangkok, an extensive wine list, and imported cuisine, or Baan Suan, a traditional Thai restaurant with some international dishes for the same price. The choice is yours...Definitely not the greatest decision they could have made; I will never return.

However, the staff is still very polite and friendly. Please note that not all of them speak English, which is sometimes hard to communicate.

Message to the owner: you are now considered a top-notch restaurant according to your new prices, so you should hire staff from this category. Don't be a Scrooge; pay them appropriately and provide them with training sessions.
