    Southern Thai

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    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.

      “The menu is stuffed full of regional specialties like stir-fried malindjo leaves with egg, pork in shrimp paste with stink beans, and, of course, gaeng tai pla (fermented fish organ curry).”

Eat Score

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.
