I had a special opportunity to eat at Sorn (ศรณ์), a newly opened fine dining Thai restaurant – the only of its kind in Bangkok specializing in only Southern Thai food. And since Southern Thai food is my personal favorite regional variations of Thai cuisine (my wife is from the South of Thailand), I was very very excited.
Sorn (ศรณ์) Restaurant is set in a beautifully restored home, just on the back side of Phrom Phong. It’s like a museum when you step inside, filled with history of Southern Thailand, the people, food, ingredients, and tools used.
One of the greatest things about Sorn (ศรณ์) and owners and chefs is that they don’t take any shortcuts. All the chili curry pastes, which form the base for many dishes, are pounded by hand, making sure everything has maximum flavor potential. Even the rice is cooked in a claypot, traditional style, that’s very rare to find anymore. Additionally, 99.9% of the ingredients are not just from Thailand, but sourced directly from Southern Thailand. Some of the ingredients are impossible to find in Bangkok, and only seasonally available in a tiny region of Southern Thailand. Chef Yod and Khun Ice have done extensive research and traveling around Thailand sourcing only the best ingredients, and it really shows.
Here are some of the 22 dishes (there were a few other dishes as well that I didn’t include to save time) we ate in this fine dining Southern Thai food experience:
Cashew nut relish (น้ำพริกกากหมู)
Sand mole crabs (จักจั่นทะเล)
2 C° Lobster (กุ้งมังกร 7สี)
Lobster claw and head curry (จอแหร้ง)
Gems on crab stick (กรรชูเปียง)
Grilled southern beef (เนื้อกอและ)
Rice mix (ข้าวยำ)
Grilled chili paste (น้ำชุบพรก)
Yellow curry (แกงเหลือง)
Fish innards curry (แกงไตปลา)
Stink beans and squid (ผัดสะตอ)
Clear soup (แกงจืดลูกรอก)
Grilled crispy pork (คั่วกลิ้งหมูย่าง)
Coconut rice, shrimp curry (ข้าวมันแกง)
Torch ginger flower sorbet (ล้างปาก)
Mutant coconut, ice cream (ไอติมน้ำตาลมะพร้าว)
Fruits and ice (ส้มฉุน)
It was an incredible meal, with some ingredients I had never seen or tried before. What’s unique and fascinating about Sorn (ศรณ์) Restaurant is that they’ve taken Southern Thai food and adapted it into a fine dining environment by sourcing top ingredients, and keeping things traditional while occasionally using modern technique to increase flavor and quality.
It’s a high end, gourmet Thai meal experience, and it was a real treat!

Mark for the love of God PLEASE stop smacking your lips when you eat and finish chewing your food before you open your mouth and start taking.
SOOooo nice to see both and your lovely Ying enjoying your food! Namaste!

If u could recommend vege pure awesome meals please let us know
Fantastic restaurant cheers to the great Chef….he is a Michaelangelo..I would have worn my best shimmering attire!!..nourriture fantastique j'ai été très heureux…..merci Mark Wiens, ana maria
Sorn?…..should be called 'yawn!'. Totally pretentious bollocks!
Went there for my birthday last week. I can tell you that Mark isn't the only one who can make those faces lol. It was amazing.
Todo muy fifi
This is so mouthwatering.. I am from Philippines by the way and the way you define each food, so yum.. Can't wait to try and cook some thai dishes, but this resto is definitely in my bucket list.. Just subscribed.. Keep travelling for food..
???????
This flock is amazing and the food is fantastic

#Khao yam ??
Sending lots of love from London?? ?? wonderful experience I really enjoyed this one. Love to bubba also

i just ate 10pc of giant mud crabs for 10$ here at phil
the food looked so different and delicious
Ying is so cute hehehe.
Wow..Thai food is soooooooo amazing and delicious…
Mark you have the coolest friends. Congratulations to them a completely amazing restaurant.
I've spent about 4 hours watching your videos today! I'm in love with all the rich content and the celebration of cultures! I'm curious as to how much would this resturant experience cost? It's a beautiful restaurant with amazing food and service! Keep making these awesome videos!
Hi how you make reservacion for sorn?
Aloha from Honolulu, Mark. You video is so great that I wish to try it next week with my family! Need reservation for 6 adults and 2 children for dinner on December 25th, if they are open. If not, December 24th is fine. Tried to call them but got a recording in Thai which I don’t understand. Any suggestions?
Wow what a feast!???
I would like to go there the next time I'm in Bangkok, my question is how expensive was that meal?
I'm a Southern Thai (well, I live abroad for over 10 years already) yet I've never heard of the first 6 dishes and the last 3 drinks and desserts. All the middle ones are the dishes I normally ate though. But do our Southern Thai Cuisine really have a chance to be haute cuisine with those pungent dishes?
It's like eating art in an art museum made in the art museum. All the architecture close together so well in that place awesome
Thank you sir for this video. Just booked my table in February ?
Everything looked so yummy, except the use of the wrong bowl for the last dish.
Wow!! A man crazy Thai Food.
Wow ! Wow ! Mark sorn was the best thing I have seen Thai food so far , such good service and presentation , one dish after another small bites to taste it . Great mouth watering dishes to taste such a huge variety of food. One watching this is sure salivating and wish we had this in our plate. Must be a bomb the pricing of it as you did not mention it as the end. wondering you and Ying have a great time . Love your videos most of them.
Okay anyone else here the jazz in the restaurant .
Wow
how happy he is to eat food & his smile just makes me so happy. i dont know why though. ??
xmen coconut? is it because its shaped like a cut penis?
I Am Thailand
The restaurant now get 1 michelin star in 2019 guide. Hope to be there soon
Please add the price for the food
If I will ever be that rich, I will go to this restaurant for sure, I am salivating.
Super restaurant???
Ying is so beautiful! ❤
Put this on our list for our Honeymoon trip at the end of this November!
Nasi krabu looks good!
Honestly that restaurant is more likely a place that an American or someone who is new to visiting Thailand would go to because it looks clean and the utensils are clean, and some of the people working there speak English. That’s definitely a place I would go to as a visitor
good job!
Yummy looking and fancy! If I ever make it to Bangkok I'm DEFINITELY going to do this 22-course experience! 🙂
I was in bkk last month. Pity I didn't know of this place. Definitely visiting when I come back in Jan.
Best
