That's the Thai restaurant and cooking school whose skin is that remarkably restored century-old mansion that stands sentinel in stark contrast to the sheer black-glass tower behind that is the headquarters of its landlord, the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and a manicured lawn away from the equally incongruous stanchions of Surasak Skytrain station.

» Since it opened on Songkran 1983, the rather quaint Thai restaurant nestling a quiet corner of the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok's open-air Parichart Court garden & upscale dining, shopping & art exhibition arcade, has been a leopard that has proudly stood by its spots.
