In a bid to turn something unheard of into a classic combo, the owners of Som Tam & Chardonnay offer five variations of the papaya salad staple (B140-B270) alongside a number of wines.

The East-meets-West approach doesn’t stop there, as elegantly presented Thai and Italian dishes like the homemade beetroot gnocchi with beef ragu (B570) and pomelo salad with grilled prawns (B290) are also on offer.

Set on the 11th floor of Thonglor’s luxury boutique Akyra hotel, the space is bright and elegant, combining white marble and slate gray.

A whiskey bar should also open next door in the coming weeks.
