Taste Chiang Mai's patient cooking translated south by Chef Apisit Jessadaporn at Paii Restaurant
The House on Sathorn at W Bangkok opens its doors to Cross Culture again, this time turning its attention north. The focus lands on Chiang Mai, a place that wears its Lanna heritage lightly but confidently, shaped by mountain mornings, old rituals and kitchens that still cook with patience. The food traditions here favour fragrance over flash, guided by seasons and hands that know when to wait. This chapter of the series brings that sensibility south, led by Chef Khun Apisit Jessadaporn of Maaterr. His cooking feels conversational rather than showy, built on memory, spice and a clear respect for where ingredients come from. Served at Paii Restaurant, the menu reads like a quiet love letter to Chiang Mai, translating its landscapes and habits for Bangkok diners without sanding off the edges that make it feel real.
