We enjoyed dinner at the Blue Elephant on our trip.

Dinner inspiration: authentic Thai food in Bangkok.

We planned a family trip to Thailand and chose the Blue Elephant Restaurant in Bangkok for its fine Thai cuisine – a special dinner after a four-day, three-night itinerary that included a visit to the Pho Temple and Icon Siam. We made table reservations (about 2,000 baht per person, or about 8,000 yen) through the official website, and the restaurant is only a three-minute walk from the Srasak BTS station. Surveys show that Blue Elephant is a Michelin Guide candidate and a favorite among tourists and local celebrities. Tips: Book a week in advance to enjoy the ambience at dusk from 18:00-19:00; take a Grab to pick you up from your hotel (about 300 baht); and book a table on the restaurant’s website (about 200 baht per person). This option kicks off the culinary evening.

Restaurant atmosphere: a space of history and style.

The Blue Elephant storefront is a colonial-style Western building that is over 100 years old and exudes style. The store is decorated with wooden furniture and photos of founder Nullo and his award-winning works, giving it a sense of history and confidence. According to research, the building served as a Japanese military headquarters during World War II. My family and I were taken to a window seat on the second floor to enjoy the night view of Bangkok. Telling them your seating preference at the time of booking will make you feel comfortable. The ambiance adds a special touch to the dinner.

Food Attractions: Covered Rice, Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong

Order the Gapao Rice (450 baht, approx. 1,800 yen), Pad Thai (400 baht, approx. 1,600 yen) and Tom Yam Kung (600 baht, approx. 2,400 yen.) The Gapao rice is flavored with basil and spicy minced pork, perfect for Japanese tastes. The Pad Thai has a great taste of sweet and sour tamarind sauce and shrimp. The Tom Yum Goong was sour and spicy, and although we asked for less spice (mai phet), it was still exciting. Based on research, Blue Elephant emphasizes local ingredients and traditional recipes; tips include a clear message of “no spice” if you don’t like spicy food. Sharing and trying multiple dishes can be very satisfying. This dish showed me the depth of Thai flavors.

Spicy Tom Yum Goong: Challenging and Learning.

Tom Yum Goong is known for its balance of hot and sour, but it was too spicy for me. According to research, Tom Yum Goong is a typical Thai dish characterized by the kick of chili peppers and lemongrass. Many people find the spiciness “painful” and it takes a while to get used to it. My suggestions include trying Tom Yum Kung in small quantities and ordering a glass of mango juice (150 baht) to soften the taste. This learning makes us wiser when ordering next time.

Satisfaction with service: first-class hospitality

The staff is fluent in English, smiles, and explains things politely. According to our research, Blue Elephant focuses on service education and offers Japanese menus for visitors. In my case, they recommended the children’s menu for my kids and made my family feel comfortable. Tip: When booking, please inform them that your children are here and request a window seat. Service charge (10%) is included in the price. Their hospitality made my trip worthwhile.

Overall satisfaction: luxury and affordability

Dinner at Blue Elephant is memorable for its stately atmosphere and delicious gapao and pad thai. The spiciness of the tom yum kung was a challenge, but the service and flavors were very satisfying and worthy of Michelin cuisine. Next time I’d like to try the set menu; as a tip, a budget of 3,000 baht per person would suffice. Note: This information is based on personal experience; flavors and settings may vary seasonally.

History and food fill the soul when dining at Blue Elephant. The key to being a personal savoir-faire is to enjoy the less spicy, less spiced gapao and pad thai and sit by the window to soak up the ambiance of the place. A night in Bangkok and the smiles of your family will leave you with a quiet appreciation for the richness of travel.
