Bangkok, Thailand, June 10, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / TOP25Restaurants.com, the world's first organization to use artificial intelligence (AI) to curate and award the best restaurants worldwide, is pleased to present its highly anticipated list of the 25 best restaurants in Bangkok for 2024. This year sees the release of a new and comprehensively updated edition of the renowned ranking – a testament to our commitment to celebrating culinary excellence in Bangkok.

First place went to POTONG, a Thai-Chinese gourmet restaurant by chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij, closely followed by Côte by Mauro Colagreco at the Capella Hotel, led by chef Davide Garavaglia. Third place was awarded to Baan Tepa, the new two-Michelin-starred restaurant, and fourth place to the internationally acclaimed SORN, where chef Ice serves unparalleled southern Thai cuisine. Seven restaurants were newly recognized and included in the top 25, among them Embassy Room, offering Bangkok’s first Catalan culinary experience; Chai Jia Chai, a top-notch contemporary Cantonese omakase restaurant; and ÎNT, which surprises its guests with a progressive 13-course tasting menu of Thai cuisine.

Bernard Metzger, the visionary behind the TOP25 Restaurants Guide series, explained: “When we launched TOP25 Restaurants Bangkok in 2018 as the world’s first AI-powered restaurant guide, our aim was to revolutionize the way we discover and celebrate exceptional culinary experiences. At that time, there was no Chat GPT, and no one had ever heard of AI, or artificial intelligence. We wanted to publish a guide that was more dynamic, comprehensive, and objective than any other.”

The TOP25 Restaurants Bangkok Awards 2024 ceremony took place on June 10, 2024 at the luxurious Park Hyatt Bangkok Hotel.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of certificates to Bangkok's 25 best restaurants. The elegant certificates, bearing the restaurant's name and its ranking in 2024, were personally presented by Mr. Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhya, Deputy Governor for International Marketing (Asia and South Pacific) of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), and Mr. Noor Ahmad Hamid, Executive Director of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA). This added a special touch to the evening and underscored the significance of the award.
