Michelin Star Restaurant in the heart of Bangkok.
“Aksorn is on the site of the family’s first store in Bangkok which opened in 1950 and specialised in imported books, magazines and stationery.”
David Thompson
At that time Charoengkrung was the main street for retail and entertainment in Bangkok. It’s now home to some of the best Thai restaurants in Bangkok, including Michelin star restaurant Aksorn. For those seeking a fine dining restaurant with a difference, Aksorn is an unmissable culinary experience.
The late 1940s to 1970s was a time of transition resulting in remarkable changes: modern Thailand was emerging out of the rich Siamese past. The food of the period reflected this.
Many cookbooks began to be published containing Thai, Chinese and Western recipes.
“Most books were anonymous but some were written by prominent cooks.”
Like the shop’s clientele, Aksorn will search through its collection of cookbooks, select an inviting volume from the era to devise its regularly changing menu for a Thai restaurant with a difference.
