Baan Tepa

Note: Baan Tepa is temporarily closed for renovation. The restaurant is expected to reopen on 26 August 2026.

Baan Tepa holds two Michelin stars and a Michelin Green Star in the Michelin Guide Bangkok. Chef Chudaree “Tam” Debhakam made history as the world’s first female Thai chef to lead a two-Michelin-star restaurant. The restaurant is set in a compound that has been in the chef’s family for three generations — originally built by her grandmother in the 1980s on Ramkhamhaeng Road in Bang Kapi.

Baan Tepa cuisine and style

The kitchen is rooted in a farm-to-table philosophy. A working garden on the premises supplies seasonal herbs and produce directly to the kitchen, and the seven-course Thai tasting menu shifts as ingredients come in and out of season. Chef Tam reinterprets classic Thai dishes through a contemporary fine-dining lens without stripping out what makes the originals distinctive.

The Michelin Green Star — awarded alongside the two stars — recognises the restaurant’s commitment to sustainable sourcing, which shapes the menu at ingredient level rather than as a separate programme.

Expect 3,500 THB or more per person before drinks. Reservations are essential.

Why visit Baan Tepa

Baan Tepa sits in a genuinely unusual position in Bangkok’s fine-dining scene. It is personal — the chef grew up in the space — and technically accomplished at the same time. The green star signals a different set of values from most high-end venues in the city, and the Bang Kapi location, away from the tourist strip, underlines that the restaurant exists on its own terms.

Location and how to get there

Baan Tepa is on Ramkhamhaeng Road in Bang Kapi, an eastern district not typically on the tourist trail. The nearest MRT stations are Bang Kapi, Hua Mak, and Lat Phrao 101. A taxi from central Sukhumvit takes 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.

When to go

Currently closed for renovation until 26 August 2026. Follow the restaurant’s Instagram or Facebook for reopening updates. Before closure, the restaurant operated Tuesday to Sunday for dinner and some lunch services.

Who Baan Tepa Is For

Baan Tepa suits diners interested in Thai cuisine beyond the tourist trail, sustainability-conscious diners, and anyone looking for a fine-dining experience that feels rooted in family and place.
