The laminate tables and fluorescent lighting haven't changed in what feels like forever, and neither has the menu at this no-frills Thai canteen on Witthayu Road. Regulars say a generation of Bangkok's celebrated chefs cut their teeth here, which explains a lot about why the green curry and braised pork belly taste the way they do. Come March through May, the khao chae, a chilled summertime rice dish, draws its own devoted following.

Rank 251. Tep Bar
Cocktail Bar
A cocktail bar in Pom Prap where the drinks lean on Thai herbal spirits and regional liqueurs you won't find on a standard back bar, and a live piphat ensemble or molam band fills the room on a given night. Those bands normally play theaters, so catching one here feels like an accidental stumble into something. Skewers come off a charcoal stove, rice arrives in bamboo. The whole thing is aggressively, cheerfully Thai, and the room knows it.

Rank 251. The Bamboo Bar
Cocktail Bar
Tiger-skin prints and bamboo furniture set the tone at this hotel bar inside Bangkok's Mandarin Oriental, where the house cocktail menu draws its flavors from Thailand's five regions. It's been a fixture of the city's live jazz scene for long enough that the sightlines to the stage feel deliberate. Stylish bartenders in leather aprons take it seriously, which helps, given that the room is already doing a lot of atmospheric heavy lifting on its own.

A khao gaeng stall that's been around forever, opening before 7:30 a.m. so office workers can load up on curry rice before the day begins. The menu is tight: a few stir-fries, a handful of curries including the hard-to-find cassia leaf curry, and some chile dips. The flashier dishes turn heads, but regulars keep coming back for the salted pork and sweet pork, which says something about the place's priorities.

A giant LED tree rises through the center of the main bar on the 46th floor of the T-One Building, which tells you most of what you need to know about Tichuca. It's a rooftop bar with 360-degree views over Bangkok, forest-themed decor that commits harder than it probably should, a second bar at an even higher vantage point, and a tequila list long enough to make the elevator ride down genuinely interesting.
