Asia Today

Thai-ingredient alchemy

A shoebox-sized bar turning wild Thai honey and local herbs into world-class drinks.

Blink and you'll miss the door off Soi Nana. Inside, Asia Today is barely wider than its bar counter — exposed pipes, Edison bulbs, and a team obsessed with indigenous Thai ingredients: wild honey, ma-kwen pepper, seasonal fruits from upcountry farms. The menu reads like a field guide and the drinks like nothing else in the city. It's been on Asia's 50 Best for good reason. Come early; there are maybe ten seats.
