2One of the best places on Bangkok for a western brunch, spot-on egg dishes and all the variations on coffee you could want. Was founded by a group of Thai friends who missed the breakfast food they could get when they used to live in Australia. Gets packed at weekends.

2Bangkok's best mango and sticky rice is a bold claim! But this stall run by Pa Lek and Pa Yai might just have it nailed. The stall is only open for five months each year from January to May whem special Barracuda mangoes are in season.
