Located in the COMO Metropolitan Bangkok in Sathorn, Nahm was awarded its first Michelin Star in the inaugural Michelin Guide Bangkok selection in 2017.[8] [9]

London

Nahm London opened in the COMO The Halkin hotel in Belgravia, London, receiving a Michelin Star within 6 months.[10] [11] [12] [13] Thompson cited the difficulty of importing proper ingredients as a result of strict EU regulations as a reason for Nahm's closure.[14]

Bangkok

Nahm Bangkok opened in the COMO Metropolitan Hotel in 2010, and was listed as Asia's best restaurant in 2014.[15] [16] Prin Polsuk was head chef until 2018, and following his and Thompson's departure, Pim Techamuanvivit joined as head chef.[17] Nahm's menu has shifted to incorporate new dishes, and more ingredients from smaller producers in Thailand.
