Name:Trader Vic's Thailand
Type:restaurant

City:Bangkok
State:
Zip:
country:Thailand

Status:operational
Description:
Trader Vic's Thailand is in a unique location - right on the banks of the Chao Phraya River that runs through Bangkok. Although the food was a little mediocre (and expensive), and the place wasn't exactly packed - it still has a highTiPSI factor! Check this link for my webpage with photos:

Enjoy!

Here's the pics from Mr and Mrs Tikifish's trip to Trader Vic's Bangkok!
We originally sat outside here on the terrace overlooking the Chao Praya river, but we were eaten alive by mosquitoes. Quickly went inside!
Hmm, look familiar?
 The most excellent and underutilized bartender in Bangkok.
 A couple fog cutters and look - I'm pie eyed!
The obligatory entrance shot!

Tikifish -
did you get a chance to hang out at the pool...? Whattya think of the hotel? I thought it was great - but I've not had a lot of world-travelling experience - so what do I know!

That's one damn, classy-looking tiki joint.
You've got to hand it to Vic. Elegant. Very elegant. Thanks for sharing.

Had the luck to be at this tiki bar on Monday night, although we only had an hour there we managed to sample a few of the cocktails, which I thought were good. The staff, as with other Thai restaurants and bars were ever courtious and helpful and the place looked great.

I didn't know Trader Vic's used the bug eyed moai, I noticed one in the swag case.
And check out that yellow pedestal bowl! I've never seen one like that before.
Thanks for the great pictures

I have two of this bug eyed moai mugs in light brown and no one is marked with a Trader Logo. Perhaps something special in Thailand.
