1. Bo.lan
$$$$ | Sukhumvit |Named after its two owners, a Thai-Western couple, Bo.lan consistently appears on lists of Thailand's and Asia's best restaurants for its modern interpretations of Thai cuisine. Located in a renovated old house just off Sukhumvit, the restaurant is striving to eventually have a zero-carbon footprint—the owners grow their own vegetables, recycle organic waste, and purify their groundwater.

The restaurant has been awarded two stars in Michelin Thailand.

4. Or Tor Kor Market
$ | Chatuchak |Inundated with colors, sounds, and smells, this is where Bangkok's top Thai chefs shop for quality produce, herbs, and cooking gear.

6. Pen
$$$ | Yannawa |This restaurant has little in the way of atmosphere, but seafood aficionados still brave the traffic up to Yannawa in order to splurge. Pen is expensive by Thai restaurant standards, but it's still a bargain compared to most hotel restaurants for charcoal-grilled seafood and a range of classic Thai fare.

- Local favorite
- No-frills dining

8. Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin
$$$$ | Pathumwan |Luxurious and utterly unique, this restaurant upends conventional wisdom about Thai cuisine and technique. Chef Henrik Yde-Andersen's tasting menus, priced starting at B1,850 for dinner, represent a veritable catalog of Thai flavors and dishes, though through the iterations of foams, emulsions, powders, and plenty of smoky liquid nitrogen.
991/9 Rama I Rd., Bangkok, Bangkok, 10330, Thailand02/162–9000Known For
- Molecular gastronomy
- Winner of many fine-dining awards
- Experimental Thai cuisine

9. Supanniga Eating Room
$$ | Thong Lor |Thanaruek Laoraowirodge, a successful restaurateur in New York City and Bangkok, has earned high praise for this cozy shophouse venue that specializes in regional dishes based on the recipes of his grandmother.

$$ | Sukhumvit |The emphasis at this traditional Thai restaurant in a century-old house is on fresh seasonal ingredients and hard-to-find regional delicacies, with a regular menu but also a smaller one of specials that is consistently changing. The Local's decor, outdoor terrace, wood floors, and antiques and old photos make for a pleasant setting.

12. Baan Khanitha Gallery at Sathorn
$$ | Silom |This restaurant in a converted house with a pleasant outdoor garden balances a casually upmarket feel with fairly authentic Thai cuisine oriented toward less adventurous palates. The basics are done well here, from chu chee goong mae nam (curried river prawns) to khao yum (southern Thai-style rice salad). Local artwork adorns the walls.

13. Baan Klang Nam 2

Fresh Thai oysters, served raw with chili and herbs, are a big draw here. There’s another branch on Rama III Road at 288 Soi 14, but this one has more atmosphere.

14. Ban Chiang
$ | Bang Rak |This old wooden house is an oasis in the concrete city; the decor is turn-of-the-20th-century Bangkok, with antique prints and old photographs adorning the walls. Ban Chiang is a Thai restaurant popular with the foreigner and tourist set, so your food won't come spicy unless you request it that way but despite this caveat, the dishes are otherwise prepared true to form.

15. Banana Leaf
$$ | Silom |If you need to recuperate from Silom Road shopping, head up to the fourth floor of the Silom Complex at Banana Leaf for wonderful mid-priced eats. The mall atmosphere might turn off some, but friendly service and an extensive menu of Thai classics and seafood dishes make up for it.

$$ | Sukhumvit |Established in the 1980s to raise funds for the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), a sex education/AIDS prevention organization, this restaurant serves traditional Thai dishes amid a quirky decor. The fairy lights and condom-decorated mannequins contrast with the traditional teakwood.

- Free condoms instead of after-dinner mints
- Unconventional gift shop

-
18. Doo Rae
$$ | Sukhumvit |Many authentic Korean restaurants do business in Sukhumvit Plaza, but even with three stories of tables, there's often a wait day or night at Doo Rae. Go for the do-it-yourself barbecue grilling, with bulgogi (thin slices of beef in a tasty marinade) and fresh veggies, as well as sake or soju, a rice-based drink similar to vodka but with a lower alcohol content.

20. Hai Som Tam Convent
$ | Silom |A good sign of quality, this restaurant is packed with Thais sharing tables filled with northeastern favorites like grilled chicken, spicy papaya salad, and minced duck salad. The open-air dining area can be hot, it's often crowded and noisy, and the staff don’t speak much English, so you’ll need to pick and point from the menu—but that's part of the fun.
2/4-5 Convent Rd., Bangkok, Bangkok, 10500, Thailand02/631--0216Known For
- Properly spicy Thai food
- No air-conditioning
