The award recognises consistent dedication to traditional Thai methods in cuisine, service and high standards.

The objective is to increase the recognition of quality Thai restaurants and drive awareness of the most authentic Thai restaurants in the world.

Founder of Giggling Squid, Pranee Laurillard, who was recently awarded Female Entrepreneur of the Year at Propel’s Women’s Entrepreneur Conference, said: “I am so humbled and honoured to receive this award. Being born in Thailand and remaining passionate about my homeland and its culture, incredible ingredients and food is very important to me so to be recognised in such a way is really special.”

Giggling Squid was also awarded the Ambassador Choice Award, selected by the Ambassador as his favourite restaurant out of all the nominees.
