“ The Artisans Ayutthaya ”

The Artisans Ayutthaya is a riverside restaurant in Ayutthaya that serves as a hub for preserving Thailand’s cultural heritage, reflecting the way of life of the local community. Located along the Chao Phraya River, the restaurant offers stunning views of “Wat Tamle Thai,” an ancient temple situated directly across the river. We proudly serve authentic Thai home-cooked dishes, prepared using traditional cooking methods such as wood-fired stoves and clay pots, and crafted from rare recipes passed down through generations in the community. Each dish tells a story of traditional Thai cuisine, offering an experience rich in flavor and culture.

The Artisans Ayutthaya takes pride in its five stunning buildings constructed from over 20,000 glass blocks, designed to reflect natural light and embody the riverside lifestyle of Ayutthaya. These architectural masterpieces have earned international acclaim, receiving the Best Restaurant Design Award 2022 from Wallpaper Magazine, UK and the Social Impact Award 2021 from The Design Prize, Italy. Beyond the architecture, we emphasize the use of locally made tableware crafted by artisans in Ayutthaya, including pottery by Aunt Yor, the last pottery artisan of Klong Sa Bua; hand-painted Benjarong ceramics from Bang Sai; hand-blown glassware from Bang Pa-In; and metal utensils forged by blacksmiths in Aranyik, Nakhon Luang. These pieces celebrate the beauty of Ayutthaya’s artisanal craftsmanship.

The Artisans Ayutthaya sources ingredients from the local community, including fresh vegetables, river prawns, freshwater fish, and unique regional produce, ensuring that the flavors of Ayutthaya’s traditional cuisine remain authentic while also supporting the surrounding communities. This dedication has earned us the Thai SELECT Signature Award 2024, the highest recognition from the Ministry of Commerce for Thai restaurants. Additionally, we create opportunities for the community through employment, the preservation of traditional recipes, and cultural performances by local students. If you’re seeking a riverside restaurant in Ayutthaya that combines authentic Thai cuisine, local ingredients, and the rich heritage of the community, The Artisans Ayutthaya is a destination not to be missed.
