"A Thai-Chinese fine dining hotspot located in Bangkok's Chinatown, led by Chef Pichaya 'Pam' Soontornyanakij, who has earned a MICHELIN Star." - admin
"Arguably Bangkok’s hottest tasting table, this Chinatown fine-dining restaurant blends Chinese and Thai to create the city’s most innovative Michelin-star meal. Diners eat inside a stunning Sino-Portuguese where Chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij’s family lived and made traditional Chinese medicines for over 100 years. The five-story building retains its charm and character (particularly the handpainted tigers) but has gotten a sleek and sexy makeover since Chef Pam took over. Potong combines storytelling from Chef Pam’s childhood and travels with plate after plate of what she describes as, “progressive Thai-Chinese cuisine.” Tasting menu dishes here change, but a few examples are “heart and soul,” made of yin-yang egg noodles, pepper pork broth, and caviar and “bold,” highlighting 14-day aged duck." - Diana Hubbell, Katie Lockhart
"Chef Soontornyanakij, known for her success in cooking competitions, opened Potong, a Thai-Chinese fine-dining restaurant in a historic building in 2023. It earned a MICHELIN Star and the first Opening of the Year Award Presented by UOB. She also established the Scholarship for Female Chefs to support aspiring young female chefs." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng
"Traditional and novel converge at this Thai-Chinese fine dining restaurant from chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij. Set in a historical Sino-Portuguese building that used to be Pam's family’s Chinese pharmacy, Potong blends rustic and modern décor from ground floor bar to rooftop chill space. Her progressive tasting menu is infused with storytelling and hits its peak with aged duck breast. To make it even better, ask the sommelier for a wine pairing." - Michelin Inspector
"For chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij of one-starred Potong in Bangkok, these exchanges will pave the way for the emergence of more cross-cultural cuisine in 2023. "You will start seeing Thai-Spanish tapas, Japanese-Italian cuisine, and even many more to come. I truly believe food brings people together and it’s going to be fun and tasty!" - Debbie Yong
