Moon smile and platoo
There is a restaurant in town with a strange name see title--I think I have it right. On nights when everywhere else is empty, it is full--it is always busy--I think it may be Scandinavian--Any info.

On the Poonsuk strip. One of the best. Second on the left before you hit the temple entrance

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

It is most definitely Thai and the reason it is always busy is because the food is great, so give it a try!!Dr Michael wrote:There is a restaurant in town with a strange name see title--I think I have it right.

Re: Moon smile and platoo
Dr Mike : Moon is a Thai persons name as I think are Smile and Platoo, hence the restaurant name.

Re: Moon smile and platoo
Platoo, or blaa-too, is not a Thai name, it is a small mackerel-type fish oft fried.
It is a very popular small cheap fish, so this restaurant probably sells it as their speciality (although I have never been there before).

Re: Moon smile and platoo
I have eaten there several times. Not sure about the name of the fish, but it was delicious. Everything I've had was excellent there. Nice and cozy too. You sit where ever there is an empty chair. Usually joining 8-10 others sitting at the same table. Each time, I've been offered to sample some of what the others have ordered. Nice way to sample the menu.
I wouldn't have to manage my anger if people could learn to mange their stupidity!

Re: Moon smile and platoo
Usually excellent, always busy. The place next door (Nana) is also very good.

Yep, there isn't a single word that isn't a "Thai name", I've met Nokias and Man U's.Dannie Boy wrote:I think you will find that the sons name is Platoo.Dresser wrote:Platoo, or blaa-too, is not a Thai name, it is a small mackerel-type fish oft fried.

Unless of course the restaurants custom is bearing your arse, grinning then getting served Mackerel.

I have a friend in Bangkok, Farang with Thai wife. Two sons..."Vegas" and "Casino." yes... every word has the potential to be someones name.
