Kumpoon has all the old favorites we’ve come to know and love, like Massaman Curry and Pad Thai. The prices are reasonable and the service is always excellent.

 

• • Nahm: For somewhere with a little more fine dining, we recommend you to try Nahm. It’s a Michelin-star Thai restaurant located in the COMO Metropolitan Bangkok hotel, and just a 15 minute walk from the conference.It sticks to the theme of traditional Thai cuisine but is a level above most places you might find yourself in. Nahm has a chic dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the city. The service is excellent, and the knowledgeable, friendly staff are happy to give you recommendations on food and wine.

 

• • Gaggan Anand: If you really want to push the boat out and desire that guaranteed ‘wow’ factor, Gaggan Anand is the place. It was ranked No. 1 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for four consecutive years from 2014 to 2017 and is known for its molecular gastronomy approach to cooking, which involves using scientific techniques to create innovative and delicious dishes.A word of advice: for this kind of premium experience, you’ll need to book well in advance and be prepared to spend big!

BOTTOMS UP!

• Maggie Choo’s: If you are looking to escape momentarily from the conference craziness, Maggie Choo’s is a cozy, 1930s Shanghai-themed speakeasy located in the basement level of the Novotel Bangkok Silom Road hotel. A 25 minute taxi from the conference, it is a popular spot and is known for its intimate atmosphere, signature cocktails and live jazz band that play there every night.The bar’s sophisticated style and unique atmosphere are the perfect place to slow things down for an hour or two.

 

• Octave Rooftop Bar & Lounge: A rooftop bar overlooking the city with great tunes and a dancefloor. Can you really ask for more than that? The Octave Rooftop Bar is the pick of the bunch if you like a boogie. It has a large dance floor and a resident DJ who plays a mix of house, techno, and hip hop. It’s located on the 45th floor of the Fraser Suites Sukhumvit hotel and serves up stunning views of the Bangkok skyline. Many locals think of it as one of the best bars in Bangkok, so you’re sure to meet some interesting people.

 

• Red Sky Restaurant & Bar: Although Octave is maybe the best option for this kind of experience, it is a bit of a taxi ride from the conference (25 mins), so if you are looking for somewhere closer to home, the Red Sky Bar is located on the 56th floor of the Centara Grand at CentralWorld building. It does have a smaller dance floor than Octave, but it’s one of the highest rooftop bars in the city and is sure to be bouncing on conference week!

 

EXPLORING THE CITY

• Silom Night Market: When a movie scene is set in a bustling, colorful, vibrant Asian night market, there’s a good chance the Silom Night Market in Bangkok is what they are trying to recreate. It’s simply a box you must tick on a visit to the city. Open every night from 6 pm to 1 am, it’s a fantastic place to eat, drink, shop and get a real feel for the soul of the city. Located just under a 30 minute walk from the conference, this market is the perfect opportunity to try some of Thailand’s famous and delicious street food.You can find everything from pad thai and som tum to mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream.
