What is it ? – Royal Osha , a sophisticated Thai fine dining restaurant on Wireless road in Bangkok.

What`s Cooking ? – Stylish,Theatrical and Extravagant classical Royal Thai cuisine.

Who`s cooking ? – Chef Vichit Mukura , one of Thailands most celebrated Masterchefs specialising in maintaining the traditional concepts of Royal Thai cuisine.

What should I expect ? – If you haven`t eaten Royal Thai food before then you are in for a treat.

Must Order dish – The classic Lamb Green Curry is a winner at Osha.

What will it cost me ? You can budget on roughly 5,000 Baht (£124 / $152) for a 3 course meal for 2 people with drinks.

5 Course special set menu – 3,000 Baht ++ with a 3 glass Wine pairing at 1,800 Baht ++ (£43 / $47)

12 Course “Chefs table” menu – 12,000 Baht++ ( £295 / $365 ) Rather eye watering for the Bangkok food scene.

A Bottle of “Sommelier recommended” 2018 USA Sauvignon Blanc – 10,000 Baht ++ (£237 / $262) very expensive , however bottles of White or Red are available from 2,000 Baht ++ (£47 / $52)

Wine by the glass is available at – 650 Baht ++ (£15 / $17) or just go the full celebrity treat and order a bottle of LR Crystal 2013 – 30,000 Baht ++ (£712 / $788)

My thoughts – Long may it last , it`s a lovely restaurant and the staff are all friendly. I only hope is that it continues to survive the test of time.

What`s the atmosphere like ? – I`ve always dined at Osha during lunch service and there has never been more than 4 / 8 diners in. Service has been attentive and very quiet during previous meals.

What`s good ? – Eating Royal Thai food. It`s very different.

Any Negatives Would I return ? – The price of the 12 course Chefs table menu is up there with the Worlds most expensive meals. (£709 / $876 for 2 diners without Drinks.) . I wouldn`t be prepared to spend that much money on a meal in Thailand….EVER. Yes i would return, i`ve been many times for a meal here but I always choose to eat A la Carte.
