Park at O.P. Place.

The newest brainchild of Australian-born Thai cuisine master David Thompson, Aksorn is truly a one-of-a-kind restaurant.
A meal there promises to be an astounding revelation of bygone kitchen creativity and finesse. Moreover, it also makes you realise how precious it is to be able to connect with your past.

Named after Thailand s international phone code, the Plus Six Six Group is a group of professionals that that specialise in different parts of the hospitality business. Comprising the expertise of Napol Joe Jantraget, New Suthichoti, Greg Plowes, Santisook Tiger Srisook and Saki Hoshino, each of the founding members bring a little something to the group.
The chefs are Joe and New, the pastry chef is Saki, F&B maverick is Plowes, while Tiger is the financial and business development head. That s the classic six, with each one specialising in a different area of the business, says Joe. We are a group of people who love food and enjoy what we are doing. The idea for Plus Six Six started off with just me and Saki, but we knew that we needed other hands to help us grow. That is when Tiger and Greg came on-board. These two are a big part of this company, of what it is today.

Five years after the closure of the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, the Canadian ultra-luxe hotel brand has marked its return to the Thai capital with the opening of a riverfront property in the historic Charoen Krung neighborhood. Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River is perched along a 200-meter-stretch of Thailand’s River of Kings, and occupies a series of tiered buildings linked at ground level through various indoor and outdoor spaces, including quiet greenery-filled courtyards and buzzing restaurants.
