It is just by Burj Dubai. Easiest route is to turn off at Defence Roundabout and follow signs.

mango tree is ok, overpriced for what it is, and the service can be either totally in your face, or crap...pai thai is much better in my opinion if you're looking for posh thai (smiling bkk is still the best, lol...)

MM - I have to disagree. Pai Thai is over-priced and somewhat up itself. Great pomelo salad though. Overall I much prefer the food at Mango Tree.

They have crammed so many tables on the terrace at Pai Thai that you could help yourself from your neighbour's plate.

ah well...yeah, agree to disagree, i've been to mango tree a few times, both for lunch and dinner, and it's very patchy, sometimes great, sometimes not...as i said, smiling bkk is my fave...oh and for posher, quite like the one at dubai marine spugsy, though may be too close to your work, lol...

it's dubai marine (jumeirah) not marina...the setting is lovely as you can sit outside overlooking the pool...and it's one of the few places where if you ask for it really spicey, they actually produce it rather than toning it down cos they think you don't mean it...even better, it's a mere step and a jump from my lovely shisha lounge...

But there is a nice Thai place at Dubai Marina called the Royal Orchid I think...next to Blue Restaurant on Marina Walk...in the same complex is a Sushi place where you can eat as much as you want for AED89 at certain times, not sure when exactly.
