Hidden on the top floors of Phrom Phong's Japanese-inspired Sarnies cafe, the easy- going Funkytown bar puts the fun back into a cocktail scene that's increasingly growing hyper-sleek and serious. Drinks riff on Thai staples, such as green curry or and tom yum soup.

Loved by locals, which is how you know it really is good food. This Thai restaurant serves some of the best dishes we have had in Bangkok, therefore a must visit whenever we are in town. Try their unique Tom yum soup which has young coconut meat in it. 

Brought over from Kyoto, the hyper-cool %Arabica coffee chain is steadily growing its Thai footprint. Its outpost in the EmQuartier mall, with a balcony overlooking the courtyard's jungle-dripping waterfall, is one of its prettiest. Order the Spanish Latte. 

Our favourite for up-scale Thai in Bangkok, and that is saying something. In this wonderful restored two-story mansion, the chefs who have all learned to cook from their grandmothers, create dish after dish with flavours and structures that will surprise and impress you.
