Potong

Chef Pichaya "Pam" Soontornyanakij turned her family's old Chinese pharmacy building in Yaowarat into a multi storey restaurant. Her tasting menu reworks the Thai Chinese dishes she grew up with, such as a layered phat thai with tiger prawn and a signature 14 day aged duck.

What the Michelin inspectors say

In the 2026 guide, the inspectors single out Chef Pam's confident Thai Chinese cooking, shaped by her family heritage and childhood memories, served across the floors of a historic building.

About the chef

Trained at the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Pam was named Asia's Best Female Chef in 2024 and The World's Best Female Chef in 2025, the first Thai and first Asian chef to win it.

Make an afternoon of it

Potong sits in Song Wat, the old riverside trading district on the edge of Yaowarat that has become one of Bangkok's liveliest streets for cafés, galleries and shophouse stores. Walk Song Wat Road before dinner, and stop at Urai Braised Goose, a Bib Gourmand stall on the same road.
