This is a very large, modern hotel located in a perfect location with the night market only a short walk away.  Te lobby is spread across two floors with the reception desk on the second floor.  Check in was easy and staff very friendly.

The room was very nice and clean.  The room was large and had a refrigerator, television and complimentary bottled water replenished everyday.  I had one king bed that was very comfortable.  The bathroom was also large and shower was always hot.  I had no complaints about this hotel and would stay here again.

Le Du sounds like it would be a French restaurant but the word Le Du in Thai means “Season.”  This is a highly rated restaurant but I would praobaly have to visit again to see what they are taking about.  I was not impressed with my first visit.  The restaurant has a bit of a rustic feel to it but at the same time, modern.  The staff for very accommodating to me as a walk in.  Reservations are recommended because there is limited seating.

The menu is limited.  Not much to choose from however, they do have more than a few fish options.  I ordered the Massaman Chicken.  After ordering, the staff bring out some small appetizers as a tasting.  Nothing really appealed to me.  After seeing my main course come out, I know why they bring out appetizers not ordered.  The portion is very small.  While the Massaman curry had great flavor, there was not enough for the chicken you, which is also a small portion.  I left still very hungry.

The the amount of food you get at the higher than normal price, you are better off going somewhere else.

Seven Suns is a new tea house in the Ekkamai section of Sukhumvit Road.  It has a nice modern look with some seating indoor and on a side outdoor patio.  The staff are very knowledgeable in the teas they offer and have a good selection.  I appreciated that the first tea I selected, the staff person advised me that the tea was on the older side and recommended I try another.  That’s excellent costumer service.  The tea is served on a traditional kung fu set.  They also do not serve the tea in one pot of hot water.  They provide you with a thermos of hot water that you can add to your tea pot.  They makes for each cup of tea to be consistent.  Much appreciated by tea lovers.

They also have some desserts and lunch items but the focus is on the tea.
