Chiang Mai

Recipes of old Siam

1 April to 30 September 2026

Savour long-lost recipes through a 5-course set menu inspired by the Lanna and Central regions of Thailand.

Within the teak walls of 137 Pillars House, many stories have faded with time, including the cuisine once shared here. Honouring the era of King Rama V, when Thai tradition met global influence, these dishes reimagine royal recipes and early Thai–European flavours that may once have graced these historic tables.
