Hey everyone, just wondering what restaurants everyone recommends?
Also if there's any vegetarians on here where's good to get vegetarian Thai food and has anyone had any luck getting vegetarian street food in the area? I'm not overly strict... I.e. I'm not going to cry if there's a bit of fish sauce in something just rather not have chunks of meat in the food.
Where do you eat when you are in Bangkok?
Food around nana plaza area

There are a number of Indian vegetarian restaurants around Sukhumvit - ranging from Soi Nana down to Sukhumvit Soi 15. Most of the sidewalk carts are not strictly vegetarian - but might have a couple of vegetarian dishes.
I would suggest you observe their food handling techniques before ordering to reduce the risk of getting "Bangkok Belly". Wash their hands, wash the dishes with clean water, keep the food hot, etc. - and by the way you can get food poisoning from vegetarian dishes as well.

Raw vegetables can make you extremely sick. You can't wash away bacteria by rinsing it in water, cooking kills bacteria, but not always.

I've had a few hardships in my life, but the low point must have been when I was accused of breach of protocol on a website for worshippers of sex with barely legal (18+ teenager) transsexuals of Asian appearance. And not enough with being accused of being a fuck-up; implication was made that I could only be given half credit for fucking-up. How dare they say, that I was not able to fully achieve a certain act of fucking-up! "... attempts to name drop forum members are cringe worthy and a little creepy". Clearly I was not able to name-drop; my stutter must have been worse than ever, on that day.
I heard a funny story once: Two guys in a Pattaya bar, told me about going to Guess Bar. They met a group there by chance; my take on what went down at Guess Bar was that the mentioned group were siting pompously in lounge chairs, and part of their claim to fame, were being senior board members-, i think it was, on The Ladyboy Forums (around 2008). Stalking of Wall Street Journal and The Economist are a thing of the past. The creeps are clearly moving up the food chain. And here we are. Lol.
Some of my best friends are ladyboys: Number 34 What's-her-face at Nana Plaza, and My Brown Fu_k Machine from Beach Road.

There was some mention back in the day, about the water volleyball competition: The soundbyte was that It is for those who want to look at ladyboy cock, for free. Whatever, as long as the girls are having fun, i guess, each year.
I am not gay, but the jury is out on my ladyboy girlfriend and her favorite porn.
Overheard in a Thai-owned night club in Europe, when one Caucasian acquaintance said to another: "No, no, no - she is too light-skinned to be a looker".
An ex-girlfriend (GG) worked in a gogo bar. One co-dancer told me in a quiet moment (one-on-one) at the bar: "Falangs only like tall girls, so business is not so good now". My girlfriend said a few minutes later (one-on-one) "Falangs only like short girls". Maybe it was an act, then again maybe not; in warfare, one can provoke small reactions, to give indications of how to paint the bigger picture.
When I see you two guys with the "pompous" story, I want to hear the story again in all its glory. I remember the names of you two, but i will not name-drop any of you two.

There are some really nice places down soi 8 including Monsoon. If you walk past Nana plaza and turn left left into soi 6 it will take down to soi 8. About a 7 minute walk from Nana Plaza.
Worry about the things you can affect and not the things you can't affect

If you are here during the first week of October there is a big festival where they don't eat meat for a week. Plenty of vegetarian food to be found on a regular basis though.
Indian restaurants, and there are plenty of them, have vegetarian dishes.

Cheers for the tips. I know Indian places are a safe bet, just feel like I'm missing out not being able to eat from the street stalls and other cheap restaurants.

It's too bad you are not in Bangkok now, as the Vegetarian Festival runs from Oct 1 - 9, this year. The main center of activities is Chinatown, however many street vendors will also offer vegetarian dishes during this time. If you see yellow flags with red characters flying from the carts/sidewalk restaurants that is an indication they are selling vegetarian dishes.
