Important details from the source

  • At Michelin-starred nahm, the Heritage Tasting dinner draws on Chef PimTechamuanvivit’s family recipes, childhood memories, antique books and obscure Thai heritage to deliver authentic, layered flavours.
  • For a masterclass in Southern Thai cuisine, order the gaeng pu bai cha plu: a southern turmeric curry of blue swimmer crab sharpened with calamansi lime and perfumed by betel leaf.
  • The curry’s fresh marine sweetness, earthy turmeric, citrus acidity and peppery leaf shows how southern Thai food builds intensity without relying on chilli heat alone.
  • Around a three-hour drive south of COMO Metropolitan Bangkok is Thailand’s Monsoon Valley, a winery occupying a former elephant corral.
  • Founded in 2001, the vineyard set out to prove that wine grapes could flourish at the northern hemisphere’s 13th latitude with climate-adapted pruning, harvest cycles and winemaking.
  • Another of COMO Metropolitan Bangkok’s Iconic Experiences, this full-day excursion includes a guided vineyard tour, and a tasting of five wines including Colombard, Chenin Blanc, Sangiovese, Rondo and Shiraz grapes.
  • It’s a rare encounter with tropical viticulture in a country whose modern grape-wine industry only emerged in the late 20th century.
  • Chatuchak Weekend Market is around 15 minutes’ drive from COMO Metropolitan Bangkok, open each Saturday and Sunday, between 9am and 6pm.
  • Arrive early, before the heat thickens and wander the maze of stalls including hill tribe crafts, local antiques, musical instruments, and Buddhist amulets.
