Best Chocolate Shop In Bangkok

[up-country_sinclair]

Hi

My wife and I will be in Bangkok soon, and we were wondering which is "the best" chocolate shop is in Bangkok.

BTW, we're going to be staying at a hotel on Sukhumvit soi 22 or 23, so if there's a really good shop in that area, that would be great.

Thanks!

Hmmm, no clue. I never really thought of Bangkok as being a top chocolate spot. If there's something out there, though, I'd love to know so I can stop by and check it out!

The ground floor of Siam Paragon has a number of high-end (looking) chocolate places. They all seem to be imported brands..I don't know of any local Chocolatiers though.

These guys might be worth checking out here. Theres also a few places in this link that might be worth a look.

Duc De Praslin (a Belgian chocolatier) has a shop/store on Soi 49. They also had a shop at the Fenix (sp?) building at corner of Soi 31 and Suk which is fairly close to Soi 22 or 23. It is under renovation at present and I don't know when it will open. They had another smaller branch at Central World.

They serve excellent hot chocolate in addition to truffles and other assorted chocolate goodies. Prices are quite reasonable for the quality of chocolate. Google the name and you can get a phone number to check the location and status of shops.

The Sukhothai Hotel has a chocolate buffet one day a week. But by far the best chocolate dessert I've had so far is the "chocolate lava" at any Segafredo coffee shop. Absolutely amazing.

I would also check out Emporium Phrom Prong BTS - Suk Rd - fifth floor. I don't know for sure as I try to keep e almost healthy distance from chocolate but they have almost everything else a falung foodie could want.

If you go up sukumvit ( to soi 24 and make a right, eventually you;'ll come to a large chocolate shop on your right. It's more or less opposite the Davis Hotel. So if you look up the DAvis Hotel on the internet, you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. the name of the place escapes me now. I don't know if it's the best chocolate shop in bangkok, but it's very good.

Agreed - the one opposite the Davis is very good - at least it was a year or so ago when I was last there!

The chocolate buffet at Sukhothai Hotel does look tempting.

There's also a review on it here.

I second this... here is the link

I was under the impression that the Duc de Praslin shop on Suk Rd near Soi 31 is closed and gone... I've eaten there in the past, and it was fine for a small cafe. But I see no sign they're planning to return to that location. And, the company web site shown above has no reference to that location anymore.

Their location in CentralWorld was just a stand near one of the main entrances. I haven't popped by there lately to see if it's still in operation.

I third this recommendation

however, if you are keen on chocalate cakes (not just chocalates for presents), then try Cafe Le Notre for some yummy chocolate desserts

they are in Langsuan (ground floor of the serviced apartment Natural Ville)

LOL

i once had a look at that thread to see if there are proper suggestions for places to get chocs in Bangkok, and to my dismay...there isnt

[sbk]

Sad bunch of non-chocolatiers in there Miggie.

[MiG16]

but there are some true fans

Maestro for instance......

but yes back to the topic of good chocs in Bangkok - you can also get some nice truffles at the Landmark Hotel cafe on the street level

not sure how well it will travel though.....
