Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well

Gaa is chef Garima Arora's restaurant in a restored Thai house with a pitched roof on Sukhumvit 53, near Thong Lo. She cooks a tasting menu that starts from her Indian heritage and builds it on seasonal produce from across Thailand, and the dining room is calm and pared back, taupe walls with small Thai touches. The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Thailand gives it two stars, and Arora was the first Indian woman chef to hold two.

Dinner runs from 17:30 to 23:00 every night, with lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 at weekends. It sits in the guide's top price band, and bookings go through the restaurant directly. Book well ahead for a Friday or Saturday.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
