In short: great flavour, filthy location.
This is probably the best place to get pad thai in the city. It's spicy and sweet at the same time. I like my food spicy but a medium is sometimes too much.
The fried rice and seafood eggplant are also delicious. Ask for an egg on your fried rice, you won't be disappointed.
The ONLY downside to Bangkok in the Faubourg is...well it's located in the Faubourg. This mall needs a serious facelift and I've seen cockroaches scuttle by me on more than one occasion.
Seriously good food but ignorance is bliss, when eating at the Faubourg.
