Another converted house, this one being on a side street off Silom. A contemporary interior with comfortable seating of silk covered sofas with colorful cushions and artwork covering the red and butterscotch colored walls.

Thai food is authentic with unique home-style dishes not often found. The menu is very large with a version with photographs for those not familiar with Thai cuisine. Start with a recommended appetizer, tod mun tong muan, offering crispy vegetables rolled up inside fish cakes. Choices also include a large variety of yum (Thai spicy salads), Taling Pling hors d’oeuvres, and sun-dried king mackerel in sesame. For main courses, there are numerous creative dishes. If you are a fan of Thai curry, try the beef green curry served with roti or the fillet of sea bass in a mild red curry sauce. Other dishes not to be missed are stir-fried soft-shell crab with basil, oyster omelette on hot plate, and very good stir-fried gourd leaves with oyster sauce. Surprisingly enough, unlike many Thai restaurants, Taling Pling has an outstanding dessert menu which includes a good variety of Thai and western desserts, cakes and home-made ice creams. Try the chocolate brownie cake, or the home-made coffee raisin ice cream, which are both excellent ways to finish your meal.

The two page wine menu offers a fair choice of white and red wines from Europe, Chile and Australia plus a few champagnes. House wines (vin de table) are reasonably priced at 150 baht per glass or 430 baht per carafe.

Staff is polite and pleasant when serving patrons. Unfortunately, staff is often unavailable during busy dining hours.
