Totally agree with you, Icon, about overpricing at the Sukhothai’s Thai restaurant. But with the luxurious status of the hotel I cannot imagine its affiliated goods and services to be cheap, or even reasonable. Its "Babana in Coconut Milk" is a typical common Thai pudding but is 10 times more expensive than market price or twice expensive than other independent restaurants. My friend and I tried only a few dishes. Perhaps, we were lucky that we chose the right ones for us. Still would like to go back and try other dishes to see if they are any good.

Thinking about it, perhaps the food might not be out of the world, but the person who sat opposite me was so sweet and gentle that that was enough to make the whole dinner a memorable one...
