Description: Bo.lan is founded on the belief that the best Thai restaurants should be found In Thailand. With that in mind the two chefs Duangporn Songvisava and Dylan Jones started Bo.lan. The name Bo.lan comes from Chef Duangporn’s nickname Bo and the second half of Dylan’s name Lan. It is also a play on the Thai word for vintage or ancient, which sounds the same but is spelt differently. Bo.lan prides itself for working closely with local farmers and feels that it has a social responsibility to the local community. Bo.lan advocates the use of biodiversified produce and this is reflected in the ever-changing menu.

lovely ambiance and a great variety in their set menu. First sample in chef's kitchen is a nice touch to the ambiance and friendliness of staff. The set menu was brand new and featured a variety of meat and fish dishes. The manager was very attentive. I have seen reviews regarding charge for the water. I agree it seems excessive considering the set menu is already pricey. Otherwise iris a lovely dining experience.

My fiancé and I made a reservation at Bo.Lan for our one night in Bangkok; we were not disappointed. The welcoming drink and snacks were light and fun, and the full tasting menu we chose was delicious. In fact, it was far more food than either of us could eat, but we enjoyed sampling everything. We also appreciated the brief trip back to see the kitchen and sample a bite from the chef. The service was both friendly and professional. All in all, a charming place for a date and a great choice for foodies.

An excellent night. Considering short notice the degustation 7 course menu was awesome. Plus, a matching vegan degustation.
Service could not be faulted. Every detail was attended to. From the first course with the Chef in the kitchen all the way through to the desert, including a vegan variety.
Happy days all around.

This restaurant I tried as I saw the documentary of Andrew Zimmern while he was in BKK ( I hope I didn't mix this up now with Anthony Bourdain). And I have to admit it didn't disappoint at all.

It is a very interesting menu and you should try all the dishes you wouldn't find elsewhere. The kitchen team does an excellent job to deliver amazing flavors and wow dishes in all aspects.

Would always go back to his great venue .
