Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand
Thai tasting menu that books out fast.
TAAN holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and sits at ฿฿฿ pricing, making it Bangkok's strongest value tasting menu in the Pathum Wan area. The kitchen works exclusively with Thai-sourced produce on a seasonally changing menu, and the rooftop setting on the 25th floor of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel keeps the atmosphere composed enough for celebrations and business dinners alike. Book one to two weeks out; availability moves faster than the easy booking rating implies.
TAAN's seasonally rotating tasting menu runs on a fixed format with limited sittings, which means availability closes faster than you might expect for a Michelin Plate restaurant at this price tier. If you are planning a special occasion dinner in Bangkok's Pathum Wan district, book before you arrive in the city. Walk-ins are not the way to approach this one.
The short verdict: TAAN is worth booking if you want a contemporary Thai tasting menu at ฿฿฿ pricing, in a setting that earns its place as the defining fine-dining anchor on the 25th floor of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok. It holds a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, sits at a price point one tier below the ฿฿฿฿ competition, and uses exclusively Thai-sourced produce throughout. For Pathum Wan specifically, this is the strongest tasting menu option in the immediate area.
TAAN occupies the rooftop of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok on Rama I Road, placing it at the intersection of the city's commercial and cultural core: the National Stadium BTS stop, MBK Center, and the Siam retail cluster are all within easy walking distance. That positioning matters. Most of Bangkok's contemporary Thai fine dining is scattered across riverside locations or embassy-district townhouses. TAAN is the neighbourhood's rooftop tasting room, and for guests staying in Pathum Wan or attending events in the area, it removes the need to cross the city for a serious dinner.
The room carries the design-forward aesthetic of the hotel: contemporary in finish, Thai in character. At the 25th floor, the ambient feel is quieter than street-level Bangkok, with enough separation from the city noise to make conversation easy. This is not a high-energy rooftop bar that happens to serve food. The atmosphere skews toward composed and deliberate, which makes it a credible choice for a date, a business meal, or a celebration where you need the table to hold its tone across multiple courses.
The kitchen produces a tasting menu built entirely around Thai ingredients, with dishes that change seasonally and are designed to carry context alongside flavour. The Michelin Guide notes that dishes often have a story behind them, and the sourcing commitment to premium Thai produce is consistent across the menu. The cocktail program follows the same philosophy: local ingredients, crafted with the same attention given to the food. If you are pairing drinks with the menu, the signature cocktails are worth ordering rather than defaulting to wine.
A Google rating of 4.6 across 278 reviews confirms that the experience lands consistently for a broad range of diners, not just those already primed to appreciate tasting menu formats. That consistency matters at this price point, where a single off night is noticeable. For Bangkok's contemporary Thai category, two consecutive Michelin Plates signal that the kitchen is performing at a stable level rather than coasting on an opening-year reputation.
For context on how TAAN sits within Thailand's wider contemporary Thai scene: Jaras in Phuket operates in a similar contemporary Thai register but in a resort setting, while PRU in Phuket takes a farm-to-table approach that draws from a different regional ingredient base. Within Bangkok itself, R-Haan and Wana Yook are worth knowing as comparators in the Thai fine dining tier. If you are building a Bangkok dining itinerary, 80/20 and NAWA sit in a more experimental bracket. Outside Bangkok, AKKEE in Pak Kret, Anuwat in Phang Nga, and Ayutthayarom in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya each show how Thai ingredients are being interpreted at a regional level. For Thai contemporary outside Thailand, Manāo in Dubai provides a useful international reference point.
TAAN's role on Rama I Road is functional as well as culinary. The Siam@Siam Design Hotel draws both leisure and business travellers, and the restaurant gives the hotel a credible dining destination that works for in-house guests and walk-in diners equally. That dual function means the room sees a range of guest types: hotel guests treating it as their base dinner, Bangkok locals marking occasions, and international visitors who have done their research. The mix keeps the energy grounded rather than insular.

Yes, with a caveat. TAAN runs a tasting menu format, which works perfectly well for a solo diner who is comfortable with a structured, multi-course meal. The rooftop setting and composed atmosphere make it a more engaging solo experience than a noisy à la carte room. At ฿฿฿ pricing, it is also a lower commitment for a solo diner than the ฿฿฿฿ options in Bangkok's contemporary Thai tier. If solo dining at a tasting menu counter appeals to you, this is one of the more accessible options in Pathum Wan.
TAAN's tasting menu format and rooftop hotel setting suggest it can handle small groups for celebratory occasions, but specific group capacity and private dining availability are not confirmed in public data. Contact the restaurant directly through the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok to confirm group sizing and any private room options before committing a larger party.
Smart casual is the safe call. TAAN sits inside a design hotel with a contemporary finish, and the Michelin Plate recognition signals a room that takes itself seriously without requiring black-tie formality. In Bangkok's climate, breathable smart casual works better than heavy formal wear. Avoid beachwear or flip-flops; everything else should be fine. If you are coming from a business meeting or a special occasion event, you will be dressed appropriately without any adjustment.
At ฿฿฿ pricing with two consecutive Michelin Plates and a 4.6 Google rating from 278 reviews, TAAN represents one of the stronger value propositions in Bangkok's tasting menu category. The ฿฿฿฿ competition, including Baan Tepa, charges more and is harder to book. If you want a technically accomplished Thai contemporary tasting menu without paying star-restaurant prices or waiting weeks for a table, TAAN is the smarter booking. The exclusively Thai-sourced ingredient commitment adds a coherence to the menu that justifies the format.
TAAN operates a tasting menu, so ordering is largely handled for you. The Michelin Guide specifically flags the restaurant's signature cocktails, crafted with local Thai ingredients, as worth trying. Given that the kitchen's philosophy centres on Thai produce and storytelling through dishes, leaning into the full menu experience rather than substituting courses is the right approach. Ask your server about the seasonal focus for your visit, as the menu changes to reflect what is available.
Three things. First, this is a tasting menu restaurant, not à la carte: you are committing to the full format, which is the right way to experience what the kitchen is doing. Second, the rooftop location on the 25th floor of a design hotel means the arrival experience is part of the evening, and the atmosphere is noticeably calmer than ground-level Bangkok. Third, at ฿฿฿ pricing with Michelin Plate recognition, you are getting a fine dining experience at a price point that sits meaningfully below the ฿฿฿฿ starred venues. Go in knowing what to expect and the evening will land well.
Specific dietary accommodation policies are not confirmed in available data. Given that TAAN runs a structured tasting menu built around Thai produce, dietary restrictions are leading communicated at the time of booking rather than on arrival. Contact the restaurant directly through the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok ahead of your visit to confirm what adjustments are possible.
TAAN is rated as easy to book relative to Bangkok's harder-to-secure tasting menu venues, but easy is relative. For a weekend dinner or a specific date tied to a celebration, booking one to two weeks in advance is a sensible minimum. For peak travel periods or public holidays in Bangkok, extend that to three to four weeks. The seasonal menu format means specific dishes rotate, so there is no advantage in waiting for a particular menu version.

| TAAN | Thai contemporary | Like the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok in which it sits, this rooftop restaurant takes a contemporary approach yet retains an authentic Thai character.

What to weigh when choosing between TAAN and alternatives.
A tasting menu format at a rooftop restaurant with counter or table seating generally works for solo diners, and TAAN's fixed menu removes any social awkwardness around ordering. That said, the ฿฿฿ price point means you are committing to a full experience on your own tab. If solo dining in Bangkok at this level is your format, TAAN's Michelin Plate recognition and storytelling-driven dishes make it a more considered choice than a standard rooftop dinner.
TAAN runs a fixed tasting menu with limited sittings, which constrains flexibility for large groups. The format suits parties of two to four more naturally than big groups expecting à la carte flexibility. If you are planning a group dinner in Bangkok at the ฿฿฿ tier, check the venue's official channels to confirm availability and whether private arrangements are possible.
TAAN sits on the 25th floor of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok, a design-forward property, so the setting skews contemporary rather than formally traditional. A neat, put-together outfit — not beachwear or gym wear — fits the rooftop fine dining context. The venue data does not specify a dress code, so err on the side of presentable rather than black-tie.
At the ฿฿฿ price range and with two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025), TAAN earns its position in Bangkok's serious dining tier. The menu rotates seasonally and uses entirely Thai produce, so you are paying for sourcing discipline and kitchen craft rather than imported prestige ingredients. If you want contemporary Thai cooking with a clear culinary point of view, it delivers. For a richer Michelin-starred step up, Sorn or Sühring would be the comparison.
TAAN runs a set tasting menu, so ordering is not à la carte — the kitchen decides the progression. The Michelin guides specifically flag the signature cocktails, crafted with local Thai ingredients, as worth trying alongside the food. Arrive ready to follow the menu rather than pick individual dishes.
Come expecting a fixed tasting menu, not a menu you select from — the format is set and the kitchen tells a seasonal story through Thai produce. The rooftop location on the 25th floor of Siam@Siam Design Hotel on Rama I Road adds a Bangkok skyline dimension to the meal. Two Michelin Plate recognitions confirm the kitchen's consistency, but this is not a drop-in venue: sittings are limited and availability closes faster than most rooftop restaurants in the city.
No specific dietary policy is documented for TAAN, but tasting menu restaurants of this calibre routinely ask about restrictions at the time of booking. Contact the restaurant ahead of your visit to flag any requirements — a kitchen producing a seasonally changing menu with premium Thai produce will need advance notice to adjust courses meaningfully.
