R-Haan is a Thai fine dining restaurant located on Thonglo Soi 9, Bangkok. In Thai, the word R-Haan means “something consumed for sustenance”. The experience though, transcends far beyond – it is a culinary journey. From plate to palate, the wisdom of Thai cuisine is shared and appreciated. R-Haan received global recognition in 2019 and was awarded its first Michelin star. R-Haan recently unveiled their Royal Summer Menu. As the season changes, Chef Chumpol Jangprai embraces the warmer days and highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from across the country. We were privileged to receive a ‘sneak preview’.
To kick off the journey, we began with Smoked Coconut with Homemade Pork Sausage served with Ground River Fish mixed with Ground Roasted Rice and Aromatic Coconut Milk with Bitter Orange Foam. Great care was given to the presentation of the dish – it was an exquisite sight. Service team executed in perfect sync, always anticipated our needs.
Three appetizers soon followed, each a nod to a medley of ingredients that brought out diverse flavours. For the main courses, five dishes were presented for family style sharing. The steamed new crop Hom Mali rice is from the Yasothorn province. The organic brown rice features 5 different variety including Riceberry, Hill Tribe Brown Rice and Chitralada Palace Rice.

Highlights in the menu: • Hot and spicy Soup with Smoked Dried Fish and Giant Catfish Caviar Baked with Flower of Salt from Baan-Dung. • Thai Steamed Free Range Chicken Curry with Young Coconut Shell and Wild Basil Leaves. • Stir Fried Asparagus from Don Tum with “TAK BAI” Salted Threadfin. • Beef Charcoal Grilled with Ancient Thai Copper Pod Curry “Kaeng Khe Lhek”. There was also a surprise dish from the chef and the dessert was picture perfect (the ice cream simply divine!) Petit Fours and a hot cup of beverage marked the end of the voyage. We are honoured to have experience this wonderful creation by Chef Chumpol. R-Haan is a success story that is just beginning...
