Long before the Michelin guide came to Thailand, Nahm was known as one of Bangkok’s pioneering Thai fine-dining restaurants—some might say the first ever. Now under the leadership of Chef Pim Techamuanvivit, who has steered the kitchen brigade to its eighth straight one-Michelin-star rating this past November. Few restaurants win Michelin stars, and even fewer hold on to them, but it is easy to see how Nahm does it. The venue remains one of Bangkok’s most sophisticated Thai venues—kind of like when your “in the know” friend hosts a dinner party. It doesn’t play to regions, instead covering all the culinary bounty the country offers, from savory to sweet, meat to seafood, mild to spicy. Pull up to the outdoor pool for a breezy dining experience or slip inside to the cool interiors. This is the dining gem of COMO Metropolitan Bangkok, and it’s easy to see why.
