Laem Charoen Seafood Central World
Mall restaurants don't usually get me excited, but seafood cooked the way it's done in Thailand's coastal towns, served on the third floor of Central World, is a genuinely useful thing to have in the middle of Bangkok. This is the sit-down seafood meal you want when you can't be bothered trekking out of the city centre, and the cooking sticks to classic Thai techniques rather than dressing things up for a shopping-mall crowd.
Prices sit in the mid-range, which is a real step up from street food without tipping into fine dining territory. The room is relaxed and nobody's going to look twice at what you're wearing. It's fine for a quick lunch between shops and equally fine for a long dinner, though lunch and dinner peaks fill it up. Mid-afternoon is the calm window if you'd rather not queue.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
