Le Du
Le Du ('season' in Thai, despite the French look of the name) is chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn's modern Thai flagship near Silom — crowned No.1 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2023 and Michelin-starred for tasting menus built on peak-season Thai produce. Southern crab curry with betel leaf and khao chae-inspired desserts show the register: refined technique, unmistakably Thai flavour. The dining room is calm and contemporary, and the wine pairing is genuinely thought through. Reserve well ahead — it remains one of Bangkok's most in-demand tables.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
