\u201cAll doughnuts are not created equal,\u201d states Brassica\u2019s official Instagram page, and it\u2019s true \u2013 some are simply more delicious than others. Singaporean chef Cong Wen brings his native palate to the kitchen, slapping his hometown’s signature savoury-sweet profile onto every doughy masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the kaya butter br\u00fbl\u00e9e, packed with an aromatic coconut custard, though their real claim to fame is the signature cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e, which uses premium Nielsen-Massey Madagascar vanilla for a rich punch. Brassica doesn’t skip out on viral food trends either; their Dubai mochi doughnut tackles the chocolate-pistachio wave by locking crispy pistachio kataifi and a chewy chocolate mochi right inside the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ekkamai Soi 12, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok.

Master baker Matthew Jones also runs an acclaimed bakery school in London, and his signature methods prove it. If you\u2019re about to brave that massive line, just go straight for the heavy hitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process starts with a three-day slow-rising dough fried in custom British-imported fryers using canola oil to stay totally light and grease-free, but the best part is watching them hand-torch their superstar cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e on the spot, creating a shatter-crisp sugar crust that completely justifies the wait. Another undisputed beauty is the honeycomb, which piles crispy, golden shards of house-made toffee over a cream filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gourmet Eats, G Floor, Siam Paragon, Rama I Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok.

Open daily from 10am-10pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bangkok’s favourite pink-boxed sugar rush, serving fun seasonal drops and American-style doughnuts worthy of a Homer Simpson drool <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bangkok\u2019s favourite pink-box obsession, Chubby Dough, has scattered locations all over the city, serving classic American-style doughnuts with a side of Gen Z humour. They keep fans hooked with themed drops that move faster than the trends, from festive Chinese New Year treats and a soaking-wet “Summer Splash” Songkran collection to a colourful limited edition for Pride Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the crowd-pleasers are the chubby shake \u2013 a premium milkshake or iced tea with a frosted doughnut doing a balancing act on the straw \u2013 alongside the chubby crack, a thick, chewy doughnut glazed like caramel candy and the wild berry, which features a punchy, tart fruit icing visually pinker than Homer Simpson’s cartoon favourite. Watch out for their seasonal drops, though. Their doughnuts are just as creative as they are addictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7th Floor, Central World, Pathum Wan, Bangkok. Tel: +66 83 696 2241. Open daily from 10am-10pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A cosy GUMP\u2019s Ari staple where the Drop by Dough crew plugs every filling hole with its own adorable matching garnish atop their bomboloni <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone who’s been kicking it in Ari for quite some time knows Donut Disturb\u2019s iconic orange storefront on sight. It screams Instagram bait, but the second you step inside, it switches up into a super cosy doughnut haven. Backed by the geniuses behind Drop by Dough, this sister shop skips the usual variety show to focus on what really matters: serving up hard-hitting, sugar-dusted bomboloni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their signature move is topping the filling hole with a matching garnish. The legendary sweet corn features velvety cream topped with a charred corn kernel, while the strawberry offers pure bliss with a fresh berry slice over bright, fruity cream. For a sweet-and-salty vibe, the caramel oozes rich cream and comes finished with a cute little pretzel perched right on top. They are so adorable you almost don\u2019t want to eat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GUMP’s Ari Community Space, 25 Ari 4 Fang Nua Alley, Phaya Thai, Bangkok. Tel: +66 95 991 0077.

By perfecting a 36-hour fermented pumpkin dough recipe, they\u2019ve unlocked a pillowy texture and a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth squish that leaves standard pastries in the dust \u2013 all shaped into cute, bubbly rounds that look like mochi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a trip to Japan isn\u2019t on the cards just yet, this is probably the next best thing. The milky Hokkaido remains the crowd favourite, and one bite explains why: a fresh cream filling wrapped in impossibly soft dough. The midori matcha keeps the matcha faithful happy. But don\u2019t overlook the vanilla glaze: a delicate sugar crust and chewy dough prove that sometimes the simplest doughnut is the best one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Parklane Ekkamai, 18 Sukhumvit 61 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok.

Its square-shaped doughnuts aren’t simply designed to stand out on social media. Shape, it turns out, does influence taste \u2013 or at least how we perceive it. And in Pralet’s hands, that geometry opens up intriguing new doughy possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pralet’s menu comes with a healthy dose of Gen Z humour, with names that range from cheeky to downright absurd. The pistachio raspberry crunch balances rich nuttiness with a tart berry kick, while hot girl’s matcha delivers an earthy note. Then there’s the OG catfish nam prik that sounds like a joke but turns out to be one of the menu’s most memorable creations<\/p>\n\n\n\n M Floor, Ekkamai Corner, 1329 Sukhumvit Road, Watthana, Bangkok.

Sitting unassumingly near Si Phraya, the shop leans into its Thai roots, using flour made from Thai rice and drawing inspiration from local savoury flavours that have no business working in a doughnut \u2013 yet somehow do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider salt-cured egg yolk, espresso and other combinations that sound questionable on paper but prove irresistible in practice. Set inside a century-old wooden house brimming with character, Sodo is the kind of place that makes ordinary doughnuts look a little unimaginative. Skip it if you’re afraid, but don’t be surprised when the FOMO hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Naret Road, Si Phraya, Bang Rak, Bangkok. Tel: +66 96 616 8949. Open daily from 8am-6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A quirky close encounter of the delicious kind, serving out-of-this-world, artisanal doughnuts and expertly crafted iced coffee <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n UFO Doughnuts has built its identity around all things cosmic, but the real star attraction is still their doughnuts (with a side of sharp, delicious coffee, of course). The dough is rich and airy, delivering the kind of texture that makes even the simplest glazed doughnut feel special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What keeps things interesting is the rotating lineup of themed releases: Halloween specials, seasonal drops and flavours that lean into fun, pop-culture energy. Baked fresh each day and served in a retro-futuristic setting, these doughnuts feel almost out of this world. These are the doughnuts even aliens would probably wish they\u2019d discovered first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 99 Sathon Soi 12 Alley, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok. Tel: +66 88 059 1956.

It\u2019s the kind of bite that feels less like a traditional fried doughnut and more like a delicate cream bun in disguise, with a softness that is almost impossible to put into words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each flavour is built to complement rather than compete with the dough, whether it\u2019s a light glaze, a smooth filling or a simple dusting of sugar. There\u2019s a distinctly Japanese sense of craftsmanship in the restraint. Nothing feels overworked. It\u2019s dangerously easy to keep reaching for another. A new opening in Thonglor on 26 June is set to bring that same nama softness to an even wider crowd, making it even harder to resist a second (or third) box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ratchada Night Market, Din Daeng, Bangkok.
