A staunch culinary traditionalist, David is known for tracking down centuries-old cookbooks of former Thai matriarchs to revive the bold flavours of authentic Thai cuisine. After launching several successful Thai restaurants in Sydney, 2001 saw the opening of Nahm in London. Housed in the boutique Halkin Hotel, within six months Nahm became the first Thai cuisine kitchen to be awarded a Michelin star. In 2010, Thompson expanded the Nahm concept to Bangkok, taking residence at The Metropolitan Hotel by Como. In 2014, Nahm claimed the No.1 position on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, confirming Thompson’s reputation as one the region’s most respected chefs. |
