Dine Onboard A Lockheed L-1011 In Bangkok

Once Bangkok re-opens to tourism without onerous quarantines (potentially in places like this), I have a new reason to return: a cool restaurant concept onboard a Lockheed L-1011.

A Gourmet Restaurant Onboard A L-1011 In Bangkok

Regular readers know I love the Lockheed L-1011, which I have written about here:

  • Onboard A Lockheed L-1011 TriStar In Cotonou, Benin
  • I’m Plotting An L-1011 TriStar Trip…
  • 5 Planes I Wish I Had Flown

The restaurant is called Na-Oh Bangkok, a name which comes from “Noah’s Ark.” You’ll note taxidermy throughout the restaurant (the opposite object of Noah’s Ark…)  and a sort of doomsday theme:

“Diaspora talks about an imaginative scenario after the doomsdays, where all the living creatures has evacuated on to Na-Oh. The story portray sequences of life and emotions, sadness, sorrow, lost celebration and the feeling of adrift inside this gigantic figure through the food.”

I’m intrigued!

And the menu looks great:

One regular reader is not happy, commenting, “Hipster bullsh*t and psycho-babble at outrageous prices, out in the boondocks. Awful. Pass.” He’s correct, to an extent. 1,199 THB (~40 USD) for a three-course meal or 1,800 THB (~60 USD) for a five-course meal is a lot of money for Bangkok, where you can enjoy delicious street food for just a few dollars. The location is not ideal.

But I can tell you right now: I’m going next time I’m in Bangkok. In fact, I may try to prospective reservation now to coincide with a summer trip (which may or may not be happening, but hey…corona numbers are dropping).

CONCLUSION

I think one reason Na-Oh excites me is because I have not been to Asia in about a year and a half…whether it is Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia…I just cannot wait to get back. And I love the L-1011.  A perfect match!

    Oh, had not heard about this. I’m all over it. Will order the Lamb Loin but only if they let me see it come up the elevator from the L-1011 lower galley.

      Wait, just watched the video and this is so cool. It’s surrounding a really creative menu with a dystopian experience. How apropos to these days…and a Tristar to boot.

    I like the L-1011 part but with all the great food in Asia in general and specifically in Thailand, going out of your way to visit a Thai restaurant that’s so keen to serve food from other countries seems a little odd. Would you make it a point to visit a German restaurant in Japan?

      You know me! I make it a point to visit a Mexican restaurant in every county I visit. 😉

      Some of the best Italian and French restaurants I have been to anywhere in the world have been in Japan. It’s an example of a place that beautifully takes the classic sense of regional cooking and takes it to a new level of quality and presentation.

        Agree but you really have to try very hard to eat bad Italian food in Italy. The simplicity of the ingredients and the passion Italians have for perfection makes it almost impossible to get a bad meal there.

    Can’t wait to see it in person, love the TriStar. Per maps, looks to be not far from main tourist area of Bangkok. Also in BKK to see is an 747 (either -300 or -400) fuselage abandoned https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=66e_1506679223

      It’s quite a way: miles past Victory Monument, the across the river, then further. It would take at least an hour or more from Sukhumvit or Silom.

    I assume this is ex-Orient Thai ( ie ex-Delta). Some of them ended up in exotic places: Benin ( you covered that one), Syria, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, etc.
    I would love to dine on a Tristar again, but I’m not gonna schlep out there to sit among dead animals, with a menu almost exclusively meat, paying a premium for the privilege .I’d forgive the strange ( borderline crackpot) theme if they hadn’t gone totally overboard with it. But if they introduce a ‘meatless Monday’ and ditch the taxidermy, I’d consider it, even at inflated prices.

    Hmmm, will be out of quarantine in BKK on March 26th. Just might have to do this just for fun.

      Enjoy Thailand and please let me know how it goes if you do end up eating there!

    I went there lat night 11/15-22. A new menu this month (we had the 8 course) which will stay until May 2023

    a) Fine dining costs, and this is well worth the price.
    b) All the dishes are good, a few of the dishes are absolutely sensational – most with a Thai flavour twist.
    c) The cocktail bartender knows his stuff, his recipes are excellent.
    d) The chefs and staff were polite, intelligent and helpful.
    e) The funky surroundings are brilliant
    f) It gets a little noisy in a thunderstorm downpour 🙂

    Hard to fault this place really.

    This is not street food and if you can’t afford $150 per cover incl. cocktails, a glass of wine, coffee and a heft tip, then I know a street vendor by my 7/11 that can fill the gaping hole in your soul.
