Why we recommend it
Potong occupies a 100-year-old shophouse in Yaowarat, and the restaurant draws on the neighbourhood's Thai-Chinese heritage. Chef Pichaya 'Pam' Soontornyanakij, named World's Best Female Chef 2025, serves a progressive tasting menu that marries Thai and Chinese cooking, with a strong emphasis on fermentation, ageing and smoke.
The building rises over several floors, with a dining room, a fermentation room and an intimate bar at the top, so arrive early enough to have a drink before dinner. It holds a Michelin star and is in high demand, so book through the website well ahead. The surrounding Chinatown streets are worth a wander before or after your meal.
