This Thai restaurant chain was started in Brussels by the Thai wife of a Belgian antiques dealer as a way to entertain his customers. Her experience has brought items into the menu not normally seen in Thai restaurants, but the foie gras with tamarind is a must-try. This style of Thai cuisine is more compatible with wine than most. Daily for lunch and dinner. $$$. Most major credit cards. 233 S. Sathorn Road (near Surasak BTS station), Bangkok. Phone 02-673-9353. http://www.blueelephant.com.
