Nestled in a cozy villa, Bo.Lan dishes out sustainable Thai fare that’s both traditional and modern, with generous portions and bold flavors.
"Bo Plus Dylan Equals Bo.Lan: Traditional Thai Dishes in Bangkok Two of the cooks who worked with me at Nahm in London opened a dinner-only spot named Bo.lan. Bo and Dylan prepare traditional but often hard-to-find dishes, such as stir-fried chicken thighs with bamboo shoots, and red curry of pork hock. —David Thompson"
"Bo and Dylan James are the dynamic duo behind one of Bangkok’s most exciting restaurants, one-Michelin-starred Bo.Lan. The restaurant’s name is a wordplay of the couple’s names — it combines “Bo”, Duangporn Songvisava's Thai nickname, with the second syllable of her Australian husband Dylan’s name. In Thai, it sounds like the word for “traditional”, something not many people would identify with the restaurant at first glance." - Michelin Guide Digital-Singapore
"Arguably one of the more famous of the growing crop of nouveau-Thai restaurants, the hyper sustainably-minded chefs deserve all the praise. The tasting menus here are made up of Thai dishes derived from traditional recipes and ingredients that have been thoughtfully created with farmers, producers, fishermen, and communities in mind - it’s fine dining but with serious soul." - Veronica Inveen
"Married chefs Bo Songvisava and Dylan Jones prepare tasting menus at this acclaimed Bangkok restaurant that channel Thailand’s culinary past.
