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.

With an upcoming global trend of "farm to table", it's such a pleasure to see such success in Thai culinary scene with this restaurant, Bo.Lan, which means "ancient". Their success come from creating a food with honest to Thai root. Menu lists are seasonal which is good for environment & sustainment. Plus all ingredients are received from its local makers which requires a lot of effort since some of them are located very far away.

During week days you'll be served with well selected set menu. A la Carte is only available on weekend.

We ate there last evening and had a fabulous meal. Our server, a young lady from the Philippines, was extremely helpful in suggesting what to eat and was an excellent server.

We used to live in BKK and Bo.lan was our fav date night dinner venue. They have moved to soi 53, so close to our old house! The new location is lovely and very similar to their previous building. We were very lucky to have Bo serving us and her personalised service is 5 star. We loved the new set menus and went for the full Bo.lan Balance menu - so many standout items and what a treat to be invited into the kitchen! We love an interactive meal. It was all delicious and cannot recommend highly enough.

Nice atmosphere and staff. Love the decoration, and food container. Very interesting menu with authentic Thai which rarely to eat these days. The "first bite" have very unique way to present. Main course can really represent how Thai eat their meal by sharing with friends and family but from my experience taste in each dish was modified for foreigner guest, not really an authentic Thai. After all I was surprise and happy with price and experience I got.

Definitely for special occasions and not for your regular dinner visit. A bit on the expensive side but I have to admit it was one of the best thai food I ever had. Worth a visit for sure.
