Khao Ekkamai

Bangkok, Thailand

Pradinan ‘Tui’ Akkarachinores, founder of the Khao Group, has been passionate about food since childhood; such is her love of developing recipes, she has amassed more than 2,000 cookbooks in her lifetime. In 2016, Akkarachinores, who is commonly known as Khun Tui, started a ‘chef’s table’ experience, but soon expanded to include a la carte, fully embracing the cultural significance of sharing a meal in Thailand. What hasn’t changed is her and the team’s diligence. At the Ekkamai restaurant (there is also a second outpost on Wireless Road), light pours in through the windows; pale woods, soft white stonework and dove grey seating bring the elegance. The menu is multi-layered, with fresh, local ingredients either steamed, roasted, stir-fried or deep-fried across all the Thai favourites, from soups and salads to curries. There’s still a chef’s table, of course, an immersive experience where you can watch the team at work, ask questions and even participate in the culinary process.
