BANGKOK RESTAURANT

Nang Gin Kui

Pop-up dining on Bangkok's riverside.

Settle in for a night of good food in a homey setting up on the 15/F of a residential building. Nang Gin Kui is a self-proclaimed “guerilla dining” operation run by a couple—architect Florian Gypser and avid foodie Goy Siwaporn—who like to let perfect strangers share their private space with winning views of the Chao Phraya River. The end result is something akin to throwing a good house party, only without the hassles of cooking and cleaning up.

What’s it like: Settle in for a night of good food in a homey setting up on the 15/F of a residential building. Nang Gin Kui is a self-proclaimed “guerilla dining” operation run by a couple—Florian Gypser, an architect, and Goy Siwaporn, an avid foodie—who like to let perfect strangers share their private space, with its winning views of the Chao Phraya River. The end result is something akin to throwing a good house party, with the company of your own choosing, only without the hassles of cooking and cleaning up.
What’s the food: The open kitchen is run by Goy and her small team of silent hands who serve up everything from Thai to Italian and Japanese—basically whatever takes their fancy on any given day. The food’s good enough that we’d recommend it anyway, but did we mention the views? Reservations can be made for 8-25 people, simply organize a meeting spot somewhere by the water, with full-course dinners starting from B800 per person (negotiate for free-flow booze).
