The best Southern Thai food in Thailand, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide, The 50, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Sorn comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Bangkok and Ko Samui.
More Less
Baan Suan Lung Khai and Beer Hima (Chatuchak) hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Eater next.

Rank 1. Sorn
Southern Thai
Getting a reservation here is reportedly harder than anywhere else in Thailand, which tells you something before you've even sat down. Sorn is a fine dining restaurant built around Southern Thai cooking, driven by chef Supaksorn Jongsiri's memories of his grandmother's kitchen. The spice is unapologetic, the pacing is precise, and the kitchen sends dishes timed to the degree. It holds three Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best.

Rank 2. Jaan
Southern Thai
Southern Thai cooking from a family rooted in Trang province, served on vintage plates inherited from the owner's grandmother, in a converted two-storey house wrapped in greenery. The freshly squeezed coconut milk runs through both the savory dishes and the desserts, and the shrimp chilli dip makes a case for starting there. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks for a place this personal and this specific about where it comes from.

Rank 41. Krua Khun Ein
Southern Thai
Southern Thai cooking sits on the spicier, funkier end of an already bold national cuisine, and this casual spot on the northeastern edge of the city leans into that without apology. Gaeng tai pla, the fermented fish organ curry that separates the curious from the committed, anchors a menu of regional specialties that the kitchen keeps fiercely flavored. A long trip from the center of Bangkok, but the food tastes like it couldn't have been made anywhere closer.
