  14. Dining beside a lagoon under the open sky is the reason to find this Indian restaurant tucked inside a resort at the northern tip of Phuket. The chef hails from Maharashtra and runs a long à la carte of curries, tandoor dishes, and a tiffin chaat platter that earns the name above the door. The naan comes straight from the oven, and the lamb vindaloo is spiced with genuine conviction.

  19. Rank 225. Via Emilia

    Emilian

    Hand-painted murals mimicking Roman architecture cover the walls of this old converted house, which now serves as a cozy Italian trattoria tucked into a Bangkok soi. The kitchen leans into Emilia-Romagna, meaning handmade pasta and slow-cooked ragù rather than anything trying to impress. Italian wines round things out, and the place welcomes dogs, which tells you something about the vibe.

    The awards


  20. A riverside Isan restaurant styled after the old Lan Chang province, all black-painted wood with red and gold trim and terrace seats carved from dark tree stumps. The kitchen leans into local fish, deboned and prepared in the regional way, with vegetables grown on-site and pickled in-house using fresh coconut water. Come before sunset, when the Mun River view earns the name.

    Thai Noodle Shop

    The awards


  31. Rank 225. Yong Pu Aob

    Seafood Thai

    The giant orange crab statue out front removes any ambiguity about what you're getting into. This is a sprawling Thai seafood restaurant where the shrimp, prawns, and crabs spend their last hours in tanks rather than in a freezer, and the kitchen leans into a herby, fragrant style. Inside mixes industrial and rustic touches with a stage for live music; outside, a small garden with a fountain handles the quieter tables.

    Modern Cantonese

  33. Rank 225. Yung Khao

    Southern Thai

    The awards


  34. Rank 534. Marni

    Pizzeria

    A contemporary-style pizza dough with a pronounced crust is the anchor here, but Marni runs a fuller Italian menu than that suggests, covering fresh pasta, gnocchi, local meats, and seafood alongside the pies. It sits in the middle of tourist-heavy Phuket, which makes its consistency quietly impressive. The wine list is short and sensibly priced, and a small gin and tonic selection handles aperitivo duty. It ranked 39th on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific.















  35. Rank 544. Khagee

    Coffee








  36. Rank 554. GRAPH contemporary

    Modern Coffee




  37. Rank 554. Pump It

    Coffee














  38. Rank 565. PRIDI

    Coffee











  39. Rank 575. Ba Hao

    Chinese Cocktail Bar

    A cocktail bar in the heart of Chinatown that leans into the neighborhood's past, with low lighting, vintage details, and a menu that folds Chinese ingredients into familiar formats. The gin and tonic gets Chéngzi orange and sesame; the Negroni picks up Chinese ginseng. The kitchen is serious enough that duck wontons with homemade chili oil can pass for dinner. Grab a seat early if you want to be outside, because by sunset the terrace is gone.


  40. Rank 575. Bar.Yard

    Backyard Barbecue

    A tiki bar meets American backyard barbecue on the 40th floor of Kimpton Maa-Lai, which is a more coherent idea than it sounds. Tropical cocktails, a DJ running electro-funk, and a kitchen open past 1am mean no one has to leave early if they don't want to. Grab an outdoor table if the weather cooperates and the city sprawls out below you.





  41. Rank 575. Caleō

    Cocktail Bar

    A hotel cocktail lounge where the menu is organized around historic social clubs, which sounds like a gimmick until you're halfway through a Jungle Bird built with three rums and reconsidering everything. The bartenders have strong opinions about the classics, shaking Sazeracs and adding soda to the Tom Collins before anything else goes in. Dress up a little, order something you think you know, and see if they've changed your mind about it.






  42. Rank 575. Crimson Room

    Cocktail Bar

    Gins are kept cold behind the bar, but the piano on stage runs warm all night at this red-soaked cocktail bar inside Velaa Sindhorn Village. The room leans full cabaret, and the cocktail menu follows suit, with drinks built around jazz history and cultural lore from across the globe. By late evening, people are on their feet, which says something about the live performances and the pours in equal measure.




  43. Rank 575. FOHHIDE

    Coffee


  44. Rank 575. Funkytown

    Cocktail Bar

    The durian colada is either the bravest cocktail in Bangkok or a personal challenge, depending on your feelings about salty durian foam. This cocktail bar on Sukhumvit 37 runs on disco-funk and an unapologetic willingness to put curry powder in a drink. A khao soi cocktail, bar snacks that include chicken wings stuffed with fermented pork sausage, and a disco ball overhead make for a room where nobody is standing still.

      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.
