  3. Bamboo screens and candlelight on the terrace, cocktails poured until 1am, and a menu that hopscotches the globe without apology. Eat Me is a relaxed late-night restaurant in Si Lom where the kitchen leans on Thai ingredients but feels no obligation to cook Thai food. The chef has cooked under Marcus Samuelsson and Daniel Boulud, which explains the daring combinations, even if the mood stays firmly unhurried.


  4. 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.

    Mediterranean

    The awards


  6. Rank 351. Enoteca

    Italian

    An Italian restaurant with nearly 400 bottles on the wine list, including a serious run of Barolo, and the name ("wine library") makes the priorities clear. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto a garden, which cuts the Bangkok business-district noise down considerably. The kitchen pulls from all regions of Italy, ingredients flown in from Europe, with risotto a recurring reason to linger over a second glass.

  29. Rank 351. Heh

    Contemporary Australian

    The name is an expression of curiosity, which turns out to be a fair preview of what the kitchen is doing: blending Andaman seafood with Australian imports in a way that lands somewhere between a Melbourne café and a Phuket dining room. It's a relaxed contemporary spot with enough style to feel considered. The menu is cooked to order, the flavors run bold without showing off, and the whole thing moves with the energy of a team that's having a good time figuring it out.

  31. Rank 351. hom

    Portuguese

    A fine-dining restaurant inside the InterContinental Phuket that looks like a Thai temple and serves Portuguese food, which tells you something about the ambition level here. The chef came up through Potong in Bangkok and Ikoyi in London, and the cooking leans hard into fermentation, the kind of bold, funky flavors that make you want to interrogate the menu. Kamala Beach outside, something considerably more serious within.

  42. Rank 351. Jaidee Shrimp

    Southern Thai

    The shrimp come from the team's own farm in Surat Thani province, which explains why a casual Bangkok seafood spot has built its whole identity around one crustacean. No red meat appears on the menu, just shrimp in every mood, squid, mantis shrimp, and fish alongside Southern-inflected curries and soups. It's a no-fuss room where the sourcing does the talking, and the regulars tend to order without looking up.

  43. Rank 351. Jamn

    Thai

    The awards


  44. Jampa is a vegetarian restaurant inside a wellness community on Phuket, where the kitchen builds its menu around ingredients grown close enough to see from the table. Dishes shift with the seasons, and the natural flavors can get quietly complex. Saturday's lakeside lunch is cooked over a wood fire, which makes it feel more like a ritual than a meal. A calm, considered room where no one is in a hurry, which is either a feature or a warning depending on your lunch plans.

  70. Rank 351. Khaan

    Contemporary Thai

    The name means both "tiger" and "proclaim" in Thai, and the chef commits to both. This contemporary Thai restaurant dresses its dining room in deep red and sends out a tasting menu that moves province by province across the country, treating the sourcing of ingredients as part of the point. Modern technique keeps the flavors from going polite. Pair it with the tea flight if you want to feel like you came prepared.

  77. A narrow multi-storey townhouse on Song Wat Road where exposed wooden beams and soft lighting make each floor feel like a different room in someone's very well-considered home. This is a sit-down Thai restaurant with an unusual build-your-own menu structured around five essential ingredients, each dish available in three portion sizes, plus a curated set menu if you'd rather not choose. A daily rice arrives mid-meal, and changes every day.

      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.
