Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn—he of Michelin-starred Le Du and the newer Nusara—has brought his culinary prowess to the 56th floor of Sathorn’s Empire Tower. At <a href="https://www.ledukaan.com/?destinasian">Le Du Kaan</a> he pivots from pricey set menus to offer a diverse array of modern Thai dishes that highlight seasonal local produce: think marinated banana prawn and palm heart in sour-spicy gaeng som sauce, Massaman goat curry featuring salted coconut gel, and betel-leaf ice cream with dried shrimp on a shallot biscuit. It’s a suave, animated place whose expansive terraces afford some of the best sunset views in Bangkok, with drink specials and DJs spinning tunes during a lengthy happy hour. Craft cocktails like Chao Phraya Sunset—Siam rum, pineapple, tamarind, elderberry, and grapefruit soda—are a solid match for the sky-high vistas. —Ron Gluckman
