There's nothing I need less than a \"trendy\" restaurant in a city where men in capri pants are \"trendy.\" Chao Phraya is full to the brim with these \"bon vivants\" and with a lot of American people whose want of nightclubs has rocketed them north of the border. If you walk into a restaurant and see a man with an open collared shirt marshaling the distribution of shots in tiny porcelain cups, it's not a great sign.\n\nThe food leaves something to be desired, as well. A mango salad (I can't be troubled to navigate CP's monstrosity of a Flash website for translation) was fair. A small seafood soup was by far the best thing we had, with a good, fresh prawn and a decent crab leg. The broth was as we requested, swimming with chiles.\n\nVegetarian entrees were nothing to write home about. The service was nice and friendly and the prices were semi-reasonable.
