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

Gaggan is Bangkok's most famous dining ticket — chef Gaggan Anand's two-Michelin-star, emoji-menu marathon of 20-plus courses of 'progressive Indian' cooking, served counter-style with the chef and his brigade performing as much as cooking. It has topped Asia's 50 Best Restaurants four times and remains the city's hardest reservation, released in batches that vanish in minutes. Expect theater — lick-the-plate courses, thumping playlists, and flavor that justifies the spectacle. Book the moment seats open and treat the evening as the destination itself.

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.
