Contemporary Thai curry shop Charmgang from Talat Noi, known for big flavors and handcrafted pastes, is taking up temporary residence in Baan Trok Tua Ngork in Bangkok's Chinatown for an exclusive pop-up from May 1 to July 2026.
The event will be held on the second floor of Baan Trok, a restored heritage home in the Yaowarat area, while Charmgang's original place closes for renovations from Apr. 28 to July 31, 2026. Dinner service will run daily from 6 to 10:30 PM, with additional weekend lunch service from 12 NN to 2 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
Regulars don't need to fret; the curry will continue to flow! Charmgang announced in their social media post that the move is the "same kitchen, just a different home for a while."
Diners can expect Charmgang's signature curries, handcrafted pastes, and seasonal ingredients with a menu designed for communal sharing. Their dishes, inspired by Thai cuisine across the country, have a particular emphasis on bold southern spices and Talat Noi's unique Chinese-Thai heritage.
Charmgang was founded by Aruss "Jai" Lerlerstkull, who trained under David Thompson at the award-winning restaurant, Nahm. Guided by a personal philosophy centered on "flavor, feeling and the joy of sharing good food," Aruss has crafted an energetic dining atmosphere where the experience goes beyond authentic curry and touches on local culture.
MICHELIN Guide describes Charmgang as a "trendy hangout" with a young crowd, featuring a "smart menu [that] uses local ingredients to create interesting new textures while preserving Thai authenticity." The guide highlights their Pomelo Salad with Cobia Fish and the Seared Scallop on a Crispy Coconut Milk Cupcake.
Baan Trok is a century-old ancestral home that has evolved from a family gathering space into a community for food, drinks, and retail concepts grounded in Thai culture. Its name references the bean sprout, a symbol of roots and growth, which feels apropos for Charmgang, as a restaurant built around heritage, authentic Thai cuisine, and reinvention.
