Dinner at Michelin star and #13 in the world - Potong Bangkok

Excited to dine tonight at Potong, one of Bangkok’s and indeed the world’s hottest restaurants. Potong is an extraordinary fine-dining Thai-Chinese restaurant in a narrow multi-floor Chinatown building from chef Pichaya ‘Pam’ Soontornyanakij, recently named best female chef in the world. Chef Pam and Potong earned their 1st Michelin star in 2021 and this year jumped to #13 in the world in the 2025 San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best lists. Wonderful food with impeccable service and a unique experience. What a thoroughly enjoyable three hours.





Welcome drink while we all wait for the single passenger, very slow elevator.
