Thai fish treatments

David Thompson is Thai cuisine’s supreme ambassador. The Bankgok-based Australian chef shares his extraordinarily broad and rigorous vision of Thai cuisine, its history and culture


In 1986, David went on holiday to Thailand and simply fell in love – with the chaos, the madness... the smells. He fell in love with the soul of Bangkok. And he made it his home. David is so passionate about Thai food that he has compiled his research into books that, to this day, stand as the bible of Thai cuisine. In this Meeting of the Seas, David will talk about that Thai cuisine where the sea ubiquitous, with layer upon layer of flavour, where all kinds of sensations blend into a dish. According to David, a good Thai meal is not about one single dish but a combination of each that make up the menu.
