"The Thonglor neighborhood is the East Village of Bangkok, a hopping area known for its art galleries, Japanese restaurants, spas, and hot dog stands. Astoria’s Thonglor changed its name from Red Basil Thai not long ago, upping its food game to include lots of crispy duck and whole fish dishes, of which red snapper is king. Got the picture? A somewhat upscale place where your money is well spent on premium ingredients, with the setting nothing special for a Thai restaurant. There’s one in Hell’s Kitchen, too." - Robert Sietsema
