Khum Hom — Restaurant in Lumphini Subdistrict

Khum Hom – Thailand’s Next Michelin Star in the Making? 📍Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort, Bangkok

If I were a betting person, I’d put my money on Khum Hom being on the next Michelin Guide list. Tucked inside the wellness haven of Mövenpick BDMS, this fine Thai restaurant delivers a masterclass in culinary precision, elegance, and soul. It’s not just dinner—it’s a quiet, well-paced experience wrapped in soft jazz, service with poise, and plates you’ll remember long after the last bite.

From the moment I stepped into the softly lit space, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is serene—perfect for meaningful conversation or an intimate business dinner. The staff are nothing short of excellent: softly spoken, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. I asked for every dish to be less spicy, and not only did the kitchen deliver on point, but the flavor profile remained intact—balanced, bold, and deeply Thai.

What I Ordered & Loved: • Gai Yang Ma Kwan – Charred to perfection, infused with Northern Thai spices, juicy and aromatic. • Samun Phrai Fai Daeng – A fiery herbal stir-fry tamed beautifully by my spice preference. • Tom Yum Goong – Classic reimagined, comforting and fragrant without overpowering heat. • Gaeng Tepho Moo Yang – Smoky grilled pork belly swimming in creamy curry; comfort food, leveled up. • River Prawns – Flavorful but slightly lacking in freshness. If they were fresher, this would’ve been a knock-out. • Rod Chong & Ko Sai Ice Cream – Don’t skip dessert. The Rod Chong was so addictive I forgot to breathe. Ko Sai’s smooth texture and creative plating left me speechless.

And let’s talk about presentation: one dessert arrived with a “destruction” element that turned diners into participants—imagine breaking chocolate walls to reveal hidden textures and surprises. If you’re not filming it for Instagram, are you even dining here properly?

Pairing Tip:

Let the in-house sommelier guide your journey—mine recommended a light-bodied white wine, which played beautifully with the spices and herbs. Honestly, I usually don’t pair wine with Thai food, but here it felt natural.

Final Verdict:

Khum Hom is that rare mix of artistry, authenticity, and approachability. It’s not overly formal, but everything is fine-tuned. From rice options (yes, you can pick between high-fiber brown or low-carb jasmine) to the personalized infusion water and graceful pacing, this is thoughtful dining done right. I came for dinner, I stayed for the feeling that someone put their heart on every plate.

Pro Tip: Go a la carte to explore the Southern-Thai rooted menu at your own pace. And yes, don’t forget to book ahead—quiet now, but not for long.

Will I return? Absolutely. And next time, I’ll be bringing people I...

Tucked away in Bangkok’s bustling streets, Khum Hom Thai Restaurant is a haven for food lovers seeking authenticity and refinement. I was treated to an unforgettable lunch here by my Thai friends, who swore by its reputation—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless: staff greeted us with gracious hospitality, expertly guiding us through the menu while sharing stories about the dishes’ cultural roots. Their warmth and professionalism made the meal feel like a cherished gathering among family.

The culinary adventure began with the crispy soft shell crab with pomelo salad, a symphony of textures and flavors. The crab was golden and crackling, paired with tart-sweet pomelo and a zesty dressing that danced on the palate. Next, the spicy morning glory curry with grilled pork stunned us with its boldness—tender pork, smoky from the grill, swam in a fiery, aromatic curry that clung to the vibrant morning glory stems. Equally memorable was the stir-fried malindjo leaves with eggs and crispy shrimps, a dish that balanced earthy bitterness from the leaves with the umami crunch of shrimp, all tied together by fluffy eggs. Each dish was a testament to the kitchen’s skill in elevating humble ingredients into something extraordinary.

But the grand finale stole the show: the desserts. The pandanas pudding with coconut cream was a fragrant, jade-hued delight—silky and subtly sweet, with the coconut cream adding a luxurious finish. The coconut ice creamwas creamy and refreshing, but it was the Fucton custard that left us speechless. These golden strands of egg yolk custard, delicately sweet and melt-in-the-mouth, felt like a centuries-old secret passed down through generations.

Khum Hom Thai isn’t just a meal—it’s an immersion into Thailand’s soul. The combination of stellar service, expertly crafted dishes, and desserts that linger in your memory makes this restaurant a must-visit. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, let Khum Hom Thai sweep you into a world where every bite tells a story. Don’t leave Bangkok...

I adore Thai food & you can consider it as my first love when it comes to international cuisines .

For me food is poetry , it’s an experience and with food the first impression is it’s aroma and khum Hom took my heart away as the food is delectable and the place is culinary heaven for food connoisseurs like me. The celebrity chef has made sure to bring the best of thai dishes in unique style to your table ! The fine dining experience takes your taste buds to next level as the ambience really adds to one’s dining experience and for me hospitality is everything . The Servers are so polite and kind that they made sure I get my favourite food that too in vegetarian and vegan variants. I loved the vegan mock meat appetiser along with the Gaeng Kua Tofu but if you are non vegetarian then you cannot miss the tender Gai Yang and delicious Gaeng Lobster Bai Yeerah. I’m sure none of my Indian audiences would have heard of these authentic dishes but now you can get a chance to dine and experience at on your next visit to Thailand at Khum Hom🫶You will be amazed with the quality and preparation of food teamed up with the style of serving as the team serves it so beautifully that you don’t feel like missing on to any dish or drink 🍹 So cheers to Thai cuisine and also don’t forget to thank me later for the delicious meals you will...
