Daughter-in-law of luxury retail magnate savors culinary tour in Bangkok with friends

Tang Thanh Ha (far R) and her circle of intimate friends, featuring Miss Earth 2018 Nguyen Phuong Khanh and actress Bang Di, coordinated their attire during their early March journey to Bangkok.

Photographs shared on their social networks depict the friends delving into the city’s food landscape, meandering through evening markets, and stopping by well-known cafés.

The group initiated their gastronomic adventure by indulging in a breakfast noodle dish, abundantly seasoned with a soy and bone stock-based broth, accompanied by fish cakes, beef, and crispy shallots.

Their next stop was at Rung Rueang Pork Noodle, recognized by Michelin in its Bib Gourmand selection for delivering quality meals at modest prices.
The establishment is celebrated for its ground pork noodle and pork liver options in either a sweet broth or a fiery, tangy tom yum, each serving adorned with handcrafted fish cake balls, marking a distinctive feature.

Among the highlights for Tang Thanh Ha and her companions was their visit to Koi Mahachai Seafood, also known as the Kin Kub Koi restaurant, a venue lauded on traveler review platforms such as TripAdvisor, Google, Foursquare, and Wongnai.

Situated a considerable distance from Bangkok’s core, this establishment nonetheless draws a significant patronage.
The group opted for the restaurant’s acclaimed selections, including the raw seafood salad with a zesty and sour dressing, steamed crab, grilled prawn, fried mantis shrimp, and a tom yum seafood stew.

Grilled freshwater prawn emerges as one of the establishment’s most extravagant yet preferred offerings.
This restaurant is also featured in the Michelin’s Bib Gourmand roster. Guests have the choice of dining inside or outside, with views stretching over the fields.

The companions proceeded to explore night markets for quick bites, an essential part of the Thai visit experience.
Actress Bang Di (in black outfit) was particularly keen to savor her cherished treat, a fresh banana crepe drizzled with condensed milk.

Tang Thanh Ha made her way to the increasingly famed Figure Ground Cafe, which is known for its expansive outdoor seating and minimalist decor, situated roughly 7 km from the Siam area in Bangkok.

The group also partook in numerous tourist activities in Bangkok, including rides on the sky train, visits to shopping malls, meals at Japanese establishments, and relaxation at bars.
Nguyen Phuong Khanh (second from R) ensured to bring along a tripod to document their travels.

At 37, Ha began her journey in the entertainment industry at the age of 16. She has scaled back her appearances on screen since her marriage to Louis Nguyen, the son of luxury retail giant Jonathan Hanh Nguyen, in 2012.
Dubbed Vietnam’s "king of luxury brands," Jonathan Hanh Nguyen is the founder of IPPG, the business partner of top international high-end fashion brands in the Vietnam market including Rolex, Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo, Burberry, and Versace.
