"If you prioritize one super fancy dinner in Bangkok, make it Samrub Samrub. It’s a tasting menu spot in Silom that focuses on hyper-regional Thai cooking—for example, recipes adapted from small fishing villages—with menus that change every month. It’s an educational experience, too, and by the time you’ll leave, you’ll know what foraged coriander root smells like (oregano) and how it gives the beef cheek soup with fermented chilies extra richness. The dining room is pretty small and taken up by one long bar, but there are still a couple of tables that make this place good for a group. The price tag is high relative to how well you can eat in Thailand for cheap—it’s around $150 per person—but it’s worth it for the amount of food you get. video credit: Carlo Mantuano photo credit: Mackenzie Jones photo credit: Mackenzie Jones photo credit: Mackenzie Jones photo credit: Mackenzie Jones" - Carlo Mantuano
