Somsak Pu Ob is a legendary street food restaurant in Thonburi, Bangkok. It’s known for its signature Pu and Goong Ob Woon Sen, which is glass noodles with either prawn or crab. They have 2 branches, walking distance apart, so if one’s busy, you can just take a 5-minute walk to the other branch
Silom has changed a lot over the years, but Baan Suriyasai somehow keeps its calm, tucked just off Surawong Road in a gorgeous heritage house you’d never guess was there.

Bangkok is home to an impressive number of Michelin-rated restaurants, and over the years, we’ve had the chance to try quite a few. On this page, we share the places we personally visited and reviewed
Elements Restaurant is on the 25th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok. We went for dinner on a quiet weekday evening, curious to see how this Michelin-starred restaurant balances French and Japanese influences.
Saneh Jaan is an award-winning Thai restaurant located in Sindhorn Tower on Wireless Road in Ploenchit, Bangkok. Known for serving authentic and traditional Thai cuisine, the restaurant is especially famous for its seasonal Khao Chae, a refreshing summer dish.
Baannok Bangkok on Langsuan Road is one of those places we keep going back to. It’s tucked away on the second floor of Vivre Langsuan, right across from Portico, but it feels more like someone’s living room than a city restaurant.
Nusara is one of the best dinners we’ve had in Bangkok for a long time. Chef Ton, a long-time friend, created this restaurant as a tribute to his grandmother, who inspired his love for Thai cooking.
Krua Praya Phuket Restaurant is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Southern Thai dining experience. Nestled in a beautiful garden setting under the shade of small trees, this restaurant provides a casual yet charming open-air atmosphere.

Located in the heart of Yaowarat in Bangkok Chinatown, Restaurant Potong is a fine dining establishment that has transformed an old Thai-Chinese house into a modern and stylish space.
A small local restaurant on Montri Road in Phuket Town, where most jewellery shops are. Chuan Chim is quite large, simple and spotlessly clean. The food is cheap and excellent. We loved the fried basil with minced pork or chicken and the seafood salad.
HEH is a restaurant on the outskirts of Phuket Town run by a young team and passionate and creative Thai Chef. The restaurant is not too big, well-designed with high windows, unpretentious, and welcoming. There is even a tree growing right in the middle of it.
Krua Kao Kuk is a hidden gem on the outskirts of Phuket Town, praised for its simple and delicious southern Thai cuisine. Founded by a Peranakan family in 1995, it’s a favourite among locals for fresh seafood dishes, vegetables with ginger, and classic Thai comfort food like omelettes and pork belly.
Royd is an upmarket restaurant found on Dibuk Road in Phuket Town, a short distance from the popular Thalang Road where the Sunday Walking Street Market is held every week.
