With six different locations in Thailand, it is no wonder Royce’ makes the list of having the most delectable and sweet of chocolate treats. Dating back to 1983, Royce’ has long been satisfying people’s chocolate needs around the world. Malaysia, Russia, and the US are just a few places lucky enough to have a Royce’ in their country, and Bangkok is yet another city to lock down one of their delicious chocolate shops. The first Royce’ was opened in Thailand in 2007, and the fifth shop did not open until 2014. Their fundamental principle is to make the best chocolate out of the highest-quality ingredients, and this surely is reflected in their sweet, delectable products. Some of their most delicious desserts include their wide array of Nama chocolates with liquor, their unique combination of chocolate and potato chips, chocolate wafers, chocolate bars and more.

Ampersand Boutique

Cafe, American, Italian

Serving up the most mouthwatering gelato and sorbets in Bangkok is Ampersand Boutique. Chocolate lovers will find this boutique sweet shop on the 7th floor of Central World, with a new branch to open soon on Thonglor 13. The icy treats found at both locations are made in small batches and without the use of preservatives, thus preserving their organic flavor. Whether those with a sweet tooth want something more simple like the Belgian-inspired dark chocolate or something a bit more colorful and unique like the maple syrup and candied bacon, there is a sweet for everyone at Ampersand Boutique.

Gallothai

Cafe, Thai, Coffee

Those in Thailand no longer have to make their way to Europe to have some of the best Belgian chocolate around. Paul Graindorge, founder of Gallothai, decided the Land of Smiles had gone long enough without having the noteworthy treats on their own soil, thus this chocolate shop came to be in 1993. The chocolate shop has grown exponentially, with stores in major cities across Thailand, including the capital, Phuket, Pattaya, and all the way up in Chiang Mai. Gallothai products are now found in a number of different restaurants and businesses, with popular favorites including pralines, truffles, chocolate covered nuts, fruits and many more.
