Located on Sukhumvit Soi 35 (approx. 10mins walk from BTS Thong Lo Stn) nestled Bo.lan, a chic Thai restaurant ranking at no.37 on San Pellegrino's Asia's 50 Best Restaurant 2015 list. Headed by chefs Bo and Dylan, Bo.lan serves authentic Thai food in a traditional Thai-houses-inspired interior.
We went for dinner and opted for Bo.lan Balance - the degustation menu priced at THB2680++. Another brief menu is available at THB 2280++. Vegetarian menu also available at same price.
I do not have photos of every dishes, the full menu can be downloaded at Bo.lan's website.
Pre-dinner snacks - crackers and ground nuts
Amuse bouche - interesting flavours and spices especially the last one on the right: marinated pork in rambutan with fried garlic chips
Red curry
Noodles
Bamboo shoot
Fresh local organic greens and flowers with half-boiled egg and tamarind relish
My favourite dish of all - ocean prawn salad with snake skin pear
Stir-fried pork
Amazing presentation of dessert platter. Taste however was a bit of let down, almost all components (beside the fruits) looked better than its taste.

Bo.lan was our first fine dining in Bangkok. The overall experience was great; service was prompt and friendly, beautiful environment, delicious Thai delicacies with fine and (some) rare ingredients, though not all dishes were exceptional. It is not a daily local eatery, I personally think it is a good place to dine with your friends and families on special occasions.
