Ohm Suansilphong

Ohm Suansilphong, Chef Partner of Kru, is redefining Thai cuisine through history-driven cooking and contemporary technique. At Kru—honored as one of the Best New Restaurants in the country by the James Beard Foundation and included in the Michelin Guide—he celebrates Thai culinary heritage while fostering a dialogue between local and cross-cultural traditions.

A native of Sukhothai, Ohm trained under Chef David Thompson at Bangkok’s Nahm, recognized on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, before cooking in Australia and New York. He later co-founded Fish Cheeks, acclaimed for its bold Thai seafood, before opening Kru.

Today, his focus is on reviving century-old Thai recipes, blending scholarship, memory, and cosmopolitan spirit into a singular vision that is both ancient and modern.
