    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.

  10. Tables set out in the open air with the beach right there make it hard to take the menu seriously, and then the food arrives. This is a casual, order-at-the-counter Southern Thai spot on Ko Samui where everything is cooked to order, so you wait, and everything comes out hot. The crab coconut milk curry is the one people mention. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and priced like a neighborhood lunch counter.

  46. 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.

  60. A 19th-century shophouse in Phuket old town sets the scene for this Southern Thai restaurant, where the decor runs vintage and the cooking runs in the family, literally across generations. The Michelin Bib Gourmand goes to a menu built on recipes nobody wrote down because nobody needed to. Expect bold, funky flavors and the kind of pork belly that makes you reconsider everything you ordered before it arrived.

  77. The smell of charcoal-grilled sausages hits you before you reach the door of this family-run shophouse restaurant in Khon Kaen. The kitchen turns out traditional Isan pork and beef, sun-dried beef slices, spicy sour beef shank soup, and the grilled beef tongue that regulars know to reserve ahead. It's an old-school institution, priced the way neighborhood places used to be, and it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          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.
