All Coco
This coconut ice cream is completely dairy free—and it's made with coconut water, not coconut milk, so it's more like sorbet than your creamy street itim kati. The All Coco brand is a spin-off of a fresh, young coconut exporter who specializes in the aromatic nam hom breed. Other flavor varieties include strawberry, chocolate and charcoal (B55/scoop). Don’t miss the soft-serve option (B100), too! Plus, at its first flagship store, they also present new creations like coconut waffle (B80), toast (B125) and sandwich (three scoops of ice cream in a hotdog bun, B99) and the coco affogato in which you can opt for a shot of espresso or Thai tea on any ice cream (B90) or soft serve (B120).
G/F, Major Tower, Thonglor Soi 10, 02-138-0628
Ben & Jerry's
Ben & Jerry’s was founded in 1978 in Vermont by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, and is known for its outrageous flavor combos. Some of our favorites include Cherry Garcia (cherry ice cream with cherries and chocolate fudge flakes), Chunky Monkey (banana ice cream with chocolate fudge chunks and walnuts) and chocolate chip cookie dough, with prices start from B129 for a small cup or cone. You can add an extra B40 for a waffle cone or make it a sundae (from B245) or shake (from B175).
G/F, Siam Paragon, 991/1 Rama 1 Rd. BTS Siam. Open daily 10am-10pm. www.fb.com/benandjerrysTH

Cold Stone Creamery
This premium American ice cream parlor is now several branches old in Thailand and lets you customize your ice cream, combining a flavor of your choice along with a choice of toppings. The components get slapped onto a frozen granite slab and manhandled until they're all mixed in. Prices start from B129 for a small cup.
6/F, Beacon Zone, CentralWorld, Rama 1. BTS Chit Lom/Siam.

Emack & Bolio’s
Straight out of Boston, Massachusetts, and dubbed the "original hippie ice cream company," Emack & Bolio's has now come to Bangkok. Get their natural cow’s milk ice cream in a cone or try one of their smoothies made with a scoop of non-fat vanilla yogurt. If that’s not decadent enough for you, go for an ice cream pizza with sweet toppings like brownie crust, marshmallow and homemade hot fudge sauce. Single scoops and ice cream sandwiches both start at B120.
6/F, Central World (Atrium Zone), Rama 1 Rd., 02-613-1498.

Farm to Table
Farm to Table Organic Cafe not only grow their own vegetables out in Phu Chee Fah, but they take things one step further, making ice cream from their own produce—pumpkin, potato, carrots, and strawberries—which is guaranteed by the IFOAM (International Foundation for Organic Agriculture). We’re particularly impressed by their ability to blend their organic milk with vegetables, a long process of trial-and-error they describe as very difficult, due to the flavors and acidity of some veggies. Scoops start at about B65.
179 Atsadang Rd., 02-115-2625
Guss Damn Good
Taking their cues from Boston’s vibrant ice-cream culture, owners Rarin Tumwattana and Natee Charussuriyong whip up flavorful craft ice cream, using quality natural ingredients. Playfully titled flavors include the deliciously milky Don’t Give Up #18 (which represents the batch number of her successful trial), Kuppa espresso (made using Kuppa’s locally roasted coffee) and its milder sister named Why Can’t Coffee be White?, as well as sorbets like Virgin Umeshu (plum) and Tokyo Mist (yuzu orange). A scoop sets you back B85.
Sala Daeng Soi 1, 098-863-4363. www.fb.com/gussdamngood
Iberry
This iconic Bangkok dessert spot serves delicious house-made ice creams, sorbets and smoothies, along with a lengthy list of cakes and brownies. There's also a brief menu of savory dishes like pastas, salads, soups and savory toast, but that's really not why people go here. There are 13 other iBerry venues dotted around town, too. Scoops from B69.

Icedea
As crazy as it sounds, tonkatsu ice-cream (breaded, deep-fried, melon flavored ice cream topped with chocolate sauce, B145) has actually gained global appeal. Here in Bangkok, Icedea is the place to grab your ice cream cutlet. Not weird enough? They do global warming ice cream (B49), which reflects the melting world we live in. Also, don’t forget to taste the popular Grass Brownie (B69), a brownie topped with green foi thong (Thai dessert made with egg yolk). They’ll also sculpt your ice cream in any shape you want.
4/F, BACC, 939 Rama 1 Rd., 02-214-6630. BTS National Stadium
