In recent years, Thailand’s tourism industry has developed rapidly. The country’s rich cultural atmosphere and long history have invigorated its overall tourism environment and fostered a thriving creative industry. Beyond shopping and enjoying spa treatments, Thailand also boasts quite a few worthwhile dining spots. Below are five design restaurants and cafés in Bangkok that visitors might want to add to their list for a culturally rich and stylish culinary journey.

1. Vivarium by Chefs
 
Vivarium combines the meaning of life and vitality from “viva” with “terrarium,” the term for a glass-enclosed ecosystem — signifying a restaurant that feels like a magical wonderland. Here, you can not only enjoy delicious food but also explore the lush green surroundings. This restaurant was renovated from an old agricultural warehouse, with its original exterior preserved. A wealth of greenery has been added, making the whole space feel like a tropical jungle.

2. Born Whale
 
Located in Siam Square, the seafood grill restaurant Born Whale draws design inspiration from Pinocchio. The name ties into the whale in the story, using plenty of wood, gears, and ropes to create the feel of a large wooden music box — a high-quality, design-forward eatery.
