At Le Du, Bangkok's Michelin-starred gem, Chef Ton crafts seasonal Thai masterpieces with a modern twist, all served in a vibrant, inviting atmosphere.
"Chef “Ton” Thitid creatively re-interprets Thai cuisine, with a rotating seasonal menu – Le Du comes from a Thai word meaning ‘season’. In summer, highlights include their signature Khao Chae, as well as Khao Khluk Kapi; the organic rice, cooked with salty aromatic shrimp paste and pork jam, is served with perfectly done river prawns. A relaxed ambience makes this a welcome retreat for diners." - Michelin Inspector
"Thai Flavours Marry With Progressive Technique Le Du has become the toast of the Bangkok restaurant scene since debuting in late 2013, striking a resounding blow for what owner/head chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn calls “progressive Thai cuisine” by combining modern techniques with bold Asian flavours. Although the chef insists the restaurant is Thai, a painstaking commitment to presentation intuitive approach to flavour combinations in creations like beef with pickled and raw Chinese cabbage and octopus with crab mayo and chorizo make this exemplary venue difficult to categorise."

"Rank: #72 "Diners expecting French cuisine will have to think again in this corner of Bangkok, as Le Du is inspired by the Thai word for ‘season’. With Thai ingredients taking centre stage, highly talented young chef Thitid ‘Ton’ Tassanakajohn offers a choice of a four- or six-course tasting menu."
"Rank: #4 "It might sound French, but the name Le Du actually derives from the Thai word for 'season'. As the name suggests, seasonal Thai ingredients are the focus here through a tasting menu of regional dishes interpreted through a modern, French-leaning lens."
