  10. Rank 1. Magnolia Café

    Thai

    Four communal tables under chandeliers, surrounded by the chef's personal vintage collection, sets the mood at this cosy Thai café in Chiang Mai. The menu roams across regional styles, with gutsy, vivid flavours doing most of the talking, and the kitchen is particular about sourcing. A complimentary pandan pudding closes things out. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

  22. Rank 17. Busarin Cuisine

    Northern Thai

    The dining room at this Northern Thai restaurant runs to high ceilings, green leather booths, and pink walls lined with fine chinaware, the kind of setup that feels inherited rather than designed. The menu leans on family recipes, with noodles and roti standing in for rice. Streaky pork braised for two days in hang le curry is the thing to order. Michelin Guide listed.

  25. Rank 17. Ekachan

    Thai

    The blackboard changes daily, which is usually a good sign at a casual Thai restaurant in Chiang Mai. The chef sources ingredients from around the country and cooks with the kind of regional range you don't always find in one place. Outdoor seating adds to the low-key feel. If fresh Thai chillies are on the table, ask for extra; the kitchen takes heat seriously.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
