  8. Rank 236. Luma

    Spanish

    The L-shaped counter puts you close enough to the kitchen that you'll feel personally involved in the paella. This Spanish restaurant on Sukhumvit 55 runs through the full range, from Basque pintxos and jamón ibérico to suckling pig, and the portions land big enough that under-ordering is genuinely the move. Sharing plates fill the table fast, and the mezzanine works well for a group that wants a little more breathing room.

  9. Rank 236. Lumdee Te Khuadang

    Northern Thai

    The awards


  10. The dining room is a glass pavilion sitting inside century-old gardens at the historic Nai Lert Park Heritage Home, which sets a certain tone before the food even arrives. Ma Maison is a Thai restaurant whose menu traces back to the meticulous personal recipes of the estate's original matriarch, updated with contemporary touches but without losing the thread. Freshly squeezed coconut milk is the kind of detail that tells you the kitchen takes the classics seriously.

  27. Rank 236. Nan Bei

    Chinese

    Peking duck roasted over lychee wood is the thing to know about Nan Bei, a Chinese restaurant on the 19th floor of the Rosewood Hotel with views across Bangkok that make it hard to focus on the menu. The kitchen pulls from both northern and southern Chinese traditions, flying in ingredients accordingly. Counter seats face the roasting station if you want to watch. Dim sum runs at lunch for a more casual visit.

  29. Rank 236. Neon Boat Noodles

    Thai Noodle Shop

    The awards


  30. The awards


  31. Dark wood, oversized leather chairs, and monochrome shots of US cities set the scene at this classic hotel steakhouse on the second floor of the JW Marriott. Cuts come from the US, Australia, and Japan, and the service team knows enough to talk you through them. The Caesar is tossed tableside, and the Bomb Alaska arrives with a little theatre to close things out.

    The awards


  32. Rank 236. Nikaku

    Edo-mae Sushi

    The awards


  33. Rank 236. Nina's

    Thai

    Herbs and vegetables grow steps from the kitchen, so the betel leaves and basil in your plate were in the ground that morning. Nina's is a Thai restaurant tucked into greenery outside Pak Chong, with two ways to eat: inside among chandeliers and vintage furniture, or in the garden where the shade does the air-conditioning's job. The menu leans on house-grown produce, and a handful of dishes are the chef's own invention.

  34. Rank 236. Nitan

    Contemporary Southern Thai

    The awards


  35. The awards


  36. Rank 236. North

    Northern Thai

    A green wooden house behind a garden wall, quiet enough that the city outside feels like someone else's problem. North is a Northern Thai restaurant where the kitchen takes a refined, mild approach to the cuisine of the Lanna region, the kind of cooking that rewards slowing down. Lunch runs à la carte; dinner shifts to a seasonal set menu. The Michelin Guide has it selected, which tracks with the room's particular calm.

  42. Rank 236. Ōre

    Creative Thai

    Mineral water shipped from a spring near Sai Yok Waterfall is central to the chef's philosophy here, a detail that tells you exactly how far this tasting-menu restaurant will go for a nuance you might not consciously notice. Wood, fabric, and natural tones keep the room quiet and the focus on the food, a procession of thirty-odd bite-sized courses built around Thai ingredients. The Michelin Guide has it listed among its selected Bangkok restaurants.

  67. Rank 236. Rark

    Thai

    A Thai restaurant tucked into a quiet alley, where the wok is close enough that you can hear it from your seat. Wooden walls and open shelving give it the feel of a very well-fed friend's home, and the kitchen leans into that by treating Thai classics with real care and detail. The à la carte menu skews personal rather than crowd-pleasing. Book ahead, and check whether they've reopened before you make the trip.

    The awards


  72. The terrace faces Wat Arun across the water, and at sunset that view does most of the work. Rongros is a traditional Thai restaurant on the Chao Phraya, its dining room dressed in chandeliers, painted Chinese panels, and dark wood that feel like they've been there forever. The menu stays close to the classics, and the green curry with roti is the kind of dish the room was built around. Book ahead; the tourists have figured this one out.

  76. Rank 236. Saawaan

    Contemporary Thai

    A tasting menu restaurant on a quiet Sathon soi where the whole point is Thai cooking technique, not European ambition. The eleven courses move through fermentation, charcoal, and steaming as organizing ideas rather than garnishes, so preserved krill and grilled slipper lobster arrive tasting like arguments for a cuisine that never needed updating. The pastry work alone draws a following among people who track these things.


  77. The awards


  78. Rank 236. Saigon Recipe

    Vietnamese

    Canary-yellow walls, vintage posters, and Indochinese knick-knacks make this Vietnamese restaurant in Piman 49 feel like someone's Saigon living room, which is the point. The kitchen leans into southern Vietnamese cooking, where broths run deep and herb plates arrive serious. Weekday set lunches move fast enough for the office crowd. Finish with Vietnamese coffee over condensed milk, and you'll wonder why you ever ordered anything else.

    The awards


  79. Rank 236. Samut

    Seafood

    Dark teak wood and Oriental lanterns fill what was once a hotel lobby, now a contemporary Southern Thai restaurant running a single set menu of more than ten courses that traces Phuket's coastline. Seafood comes from local fishermen, and the kitchen leans into island tradition, folding in local fruits and a reworked take on Phuket dim sum. It reads as a love letter to the south, written in a building that already had good bones.

  86. Rank 236. Scarlett

    Steakhouse

    The grill is the centerpiece of the open kitchen on the 37th floor of the Pullman, which tells you exactly where to focus. Scarlett is a rooftop restaurant with a broad European menu, city views, cocktails, and a cheese counter for good measure, but the fire-cooked meats and seafood are the reason people come. Australian steaks and whatever fish the kitchen is running that night keep things simple and worth the elevator ride up.

  88. Rank 236. Seifu

    Japanese

    The awards


  89. Smoke from the binchotan charcoal is the first thing you notice, before you've even sat down. This is a yakitori restaurant from Tokyo, and the kitchen is open in the middle of the room so the whole meal doubles as a floor show of skewers and coal. The team works through the whole bird, beak to tail, in far more configurations than seems reasonable for one animal. The chicken liver pâté with warm baguette is a genuine curveball worth ordering.

  93. Rank 236. Small Dinner Club

    Innovative Thai

    Chef Sareen Rojanametin doesn't just cook Thai food, he interrogates it. Set in a dimly lit two-storey house along historic Charoen Krung, this intimate counter-dining experience holds everyone downstairs until the full group has assembled, then leads you up together. The black-walled room is quiet and a little theatrical, and the chef narrates each creation himself, including what he's done to tom yam, which takes a certain confidence.

          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.
