Hungry?
From Monday to Friday (except public holidays) from 9 or 10 am to about 2pm you can find lots of Thai food directly beside of The Nation Tower, now Interlink Tower. This is the tower in front of the Evergreen View Tower.
In the parking garage Between our tower and the nation tower you find the 7/11
Want more food? Opposite you find some street food on the short way to Index Living Mall Take the overpass to the other side of Bangna Trad Road. Take a Bus number 2, 23, 25 or 45 or a taxi from there toMega Bangna, one of the big shopping Malls in Bangkok. More than 100 restaurants, food stalls and a nice food court as well are waiting for you. The taxi ride is about 60 Baht. You will be there within 5 minutes
You have been at Mega Bangna already? Then take a bus from directly in front of the Nation (now Interlink) Tower toCentral Bangna (bus numbers 38, 46, 132, 139 (also 3-16E now), 180 or 365). Within 5 minutes for the bus ride you will be there.
Look outside of the bus, on the right hand side after about 2 km you will see first a Big C Mall and then next to it Central Bangna, a huge shopping Mall. Explore Big C food court or the food court in the basement of Tops supermarket or the one of Central in the fifth floor. Altogether you can choose from hundreds of dishes amongst dozens of food shops and restaurants.
Are you really hungry? Then a buffet might be the right thing for you.
There are several hotels throughout the city offering reasonable priced buffets, try eatigo.com for the best offers. For flat fares from 300 to 1200 baht you can choose from many different foods and eat as much as you want.

They also have a huge salad bar and good salad dressings. As a dessert they offer ice cream, fruits and other desserts. Price is 329 baht.
In Seacon Square Mall, less than 10 minutes away by bus you find that pizzeria named Narai you can eat from an Italian style buffet for just about 270 baht incl. softdrinks.

Transport to the City itself (You will find the bus station in front of the Nation Tower beside the main road, the other high rise next to ours, buses to all destinations leaving every few minutes. From there you will also find taxis 24/7.)
Taxis are very cheap. 4 km are 60Baht, 10 km are 100Baht just if the taxi has to wait in traffic 1.5 Baht per minute are added. Make sure that the taxi driver activate the taxi meter. Taximeter is always the cheapest option. Do not negotiate with the driver. If he does not want to use the taximeter get out and take the next taxi. Thais often first the door of the taxi and ask the driver BEFORE they sit in if the taxi driver wants to go where the guest wants to go. Doing this shows that you know the right behaviour and in 99% of the cases the taxi driver does not try to negotiate with the fare, he will operate by taxi meter automatically. (Exception: in front of and around tourist destinations they always try to discuss about fares => simply walk away a little bit from the tourist destination and get a taxi out of the traffic.)

Ancient Siam(formerly known as Ancient City) (Thai: เมืองโบราณ, Mueang Boran) is a Museum park and spreading over 200 acres (0.81 km2) in the shape of Thailand.
The founder's original idea was to create a golf course with miniatures of Thailand's historically significant structures spread around the course. During his research he found most structures being severely damaged over time and decided instead of creating new miniatures to save the original structures when possible or recreating them full size or scaled down.
Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world's largest outdoor museum.
