I had dinner and joined cooking class. I was good experiences for me in Thailand. (Snatch - November, 2007)

"Set in a revitalized colonial style house with over 100 years of history behind it, the atmosphere inside is fantastically decadent and romantic. Blue Elephant seems to have hit the nail on the head with a combination of great authentic and contemporary Thai food, attention to detail and clever branding. This is partly due to the setting itself but also the friendly, well at ease serving staff as well as a more diverse crowd of diners, all who really appeared to leave stuffed and impressed.

IMAGE asia, Where to Eat in Bangkok - January 2007

"Returning to the country of the cuisine it promotes so effectively around the world, the Bangkok outlet does not disappoint. Excellent preparation and high quality ingredients ensure that the meal is of a very high standard. They also have a cooking school should you wish to try your hand at rustling up the next meal."

N/A, eat2eat - January 2007

"Housed in a century-old building, visiting Blue Elephant is like a journey back in time... Traditional Thai cuisine is enhanced with a twist of fusion to suit Western tastes as well as to appeal to local diners...An extensive list includes Thai wines and the restaurant's own label..."

Naphalai Areesorn, Thailand Tatler - January 2007

"Located in a colonial-style building, the restaurant with touches of traditional Thai decor offers a cosy yet posh ambience suitable for all dining occasions. The first two floors have been converted into a spacious, bright eatery while the third floor houses an upscale cooking school. The restaurant's Thai fine dining cuisine demonstrates its culinary mastery that has underscored its success in over 10 countries. Waitresses are super attentive and unpretentious. Service is excellent with glasses of water almost never left empty."

Naphalai Areesorn, Thailand Tatler - January 2006

"One of a few very up market Thai restaurants located outside hotels, this is part of a Belgian-owned international chain. The menu mixes Thai standards with a few function dishes like foie gras in tamarind sauce. The food is excellent..."
