No surprises there.  That rag of a mag is all too farang-centric in focus and scope. But then, if you're locked into the Sukhumvit corridor maybe you don't care.
I wonder if a marketing/advertising account with Metro was a prereq. to winning or be a candidate.
Wouldn't surprise me...

Agree with Skip on the advertising issue - nothing is ever clear cut in the city of angels - or so it seems....
In any case - a good list of eateries to select from if nothing else.

Mystique is now closed - kiss of death?
And has Tsunami really renamed itself Tsu & Nami.
I have to say a more unoriginal list of best restaurants I cant really think of. Still if you know absolutely nothing about Bangkok then you cant go too far wrong with this list.

They should have a place for a night out, list Shennigans, the Londoner and the Dubliner, and the list would be complete.....
Sadly missing many of Bangkok's best restaurants, and also not tying up with the international reviews, but hey, Metro makes its money through ads right?!

I just came accross with the magazine. They do have a category for "Best European Pub". Winner is Bull's Head. Runners up are Londoner and Dubliner.
Best live music venue is Tokyo Joe's Blues Bar followed by Saxophone and AdHere the 13th (never heard about it)

On the whole, these are exactly the kind of choices you'd expect from a second-rate backpacker magazine written by a bunch of second-rate backpackers who are overwhelmed by five (four? three? two?) star hotels.

Well rather than criticizing their choices how about compiling a list of your own and posting them. I would be interested in new finds. I have eaten at most of the recommend ones for this year's list and it is hard to fault them basically a conservative list.
I am particularly looking for nice Thai food places that I can take buinsess clients, so decor needs to be nice as in no floor toilets with paper toilet paper for napkins.
I like the Thai food at the JW's White Elephant as you can order it at various levels of spicyness, but they have that freaking nightly Thai dance show that is annoying to most especially when the male dancer starts going table to table.
"Face" has nice decor, but I find the Thai food very bland there.

Baan Kanitha is a chain; just like Seefah and BUA.
You can check out there other locations behind the Conrad and their new one in front of Soi 3 Sathorn (Suan Plu - Immigration office... for those of you that dont know)
