  1. Sorn

    Southern Thai

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    Getting a reservation here is reportedly harder than anywhere else in Thailand, which tells you something before you've even sat down. Sorn is a fine dining restaurant built around Southern Thai cooking, driven by chef Supaksorn Jongsiri's memories of his grandmother's kitchen. The spice is unapologetic, the pacing is precise, and the kitchen sends dishes timed to the degree. It holds three Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best.

    • Kan chu piang

      “Kan Chu Piang (gems on crab stick) is Sorn's version of Kan Chiang Pu (blue swimmer crab leg)”

      The 50, 2026
    • Gems on crab stick

      “Although the menus change on a seasonal basis, the Gems on Crab Stick — a steamed jumbo crab leg dipped in crab roe and chile paste – remains a perennial favorite.”

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.
