A landmark in the international recognition of Thai fine dining, Nahm pairs deeply researched cooking with the composure of a luxury hotel restaurant. Founded in Bangkok under David Thompson, it entered a new chapter under Pim Techamuanvivit in 2018.

The Story

Origin

The Bangkok restaurant opened in 2010 at COMO Metropolitan, following the original Nahm in London. David Thompson established its reputation through his extensive study of Thai recipes and culinary history.

Philosophy

Thai cooking merits serious historical attention while remaining a living culture of generous, shared meals.

Why Important

It helped persuade an international fine-dining audience to take Thai cuisine seriously on its own terms. Its leadership transition also makes it an important example of a restaurant evolving beyond its founding chef.

Differentiation

Nahm combines the resources of an international hotel with an unusually influential tradition of Thai culinary research.

Food Philosophy

Curries, salads, soups, relishes and carefully selected ingredients create contrast across a meal. Under Pim Techamuanvivit, the restaurant has continued to foreground Thai culinary knowledge and relationships with producers.
