I think there is a 3 course option as well

 

I don't love "fine dining " restaurants 

But there are many Thai "fine dining " restaurants with Michelin stars that I am curious to check our,  just to experience the fine dining interpretation of Thai food

 

So looking for a place that has a reasonable chef menu and might try it

 

I honestly don't even know if I will like it

And may have to go solo, I don't think Ao will even have any interest at all

Hmm... That is roughly my monthly food budget (by choice, not necessity).

I have no issue with anyone who wants to spend like that on a meal, but I will never, ever understand it.

My experience in Thailand is that when I splurge, or rather used to splurge, the food was roughly the same as I got on the street, but the décor nicer.

Tell you what, you go sample Blue and report back with photos.  Ao and I will eat in Siam s food court.  

I'm sure Blues food is superb.

Just went to Blue a few days ago. Supreme preparation of dishes, the best ingredients available, wonderful views of Chaopraya, amazing interior, and lots of customers (80-90% full at 1230pm). I ve dined at more than a hundred Michelin starred restaurants, and comparatively Blue deserves its one star rating. Slightly snobby sommelier from France and very friendly yet somewhat impersonal maître d’. Worth a stop. Number one French cuisine for me in Bangkok is still Le Normandie at the Mandarin Oriental.
