Selected as one of 'Bib Gourmand' restaurants in the Michelin Guide Bangkok 2019, Baannai is famous for its traditional Thai food inspired from the family recipe, some of which are from a cook book hand-written by one of the Baannai ladies herself. The lobby of the hotel is also functioned as the dining room of our restaurant. The room downstair, Botan (Peony), is decorated in Chinese style, representing the room for the guests of the house. ![]() The three upstair rooms – Benjamas (Aster), Malisorn (Jasmine), and Kularb (Rose) are decorated in different style representing the character of each lady to which each room belongs. Inspired by the happy recollections of my beloved Baannai ladies combined with my passion in colonial architecture style, I decided to rebuild Baannai The Reminiscence to resemble the time when the 3 sisters were young ladies living in the house. Just like an old saying, “The family that eats together stays together.” As the bell rang signaling lunch or dinner time, small children would gather in a circle having their meal together. ![]() The cooks would steam a huge portion of rice for each meal. My grandmother - the Baannai ladies- always recalled the life in Baannai back then. Home that was filled with mundane joy and sorrow, harmony, and conflicts nonetheless, they relied on each other and had a family leader who gave protection to all members. The big family resided together on a big piece of land, divided into the resident area and the kitchen house, lived in by both the masters and servants.

Later, the place became the residence of three of his daughters (known as the Baannai ladies).īack in the days, the houses in this neighborhood only had soil road cut through, with a narrow ditch creating a parallel, and train tracks. It was originally the residence of my great grandfather and his family.
