    Aug 7 2025
    Bo Songvisava is the co-chef and co-owner of Bo.lan in Bangkok. She runs the restaurant with her husband Dylan Jones, and together they are on a mission to reintroduce Thailand its native cuisine. She is also an environmental activist working to fight industrialization and support small-scale farmers who supply her restaurant. Bo Songvisava grew up in a bustling household in Bangkok, as one of five kids in her family. After graduating with a bachelor’s of business in restaurant and catering management, she went to London to work at Australian chef David Thompson’s Nahm, which was a pioneer in reintroducing traditional Thai cooking. At Nahm, she met her future husband Dylan Jones, and after two years, the two moved back to Bangkok to open Bo.Lan, where they are focusing on running a sustainable restaurant and following old Thai recipes.
