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

Gokfayuen is a Hong Kong noodle and congee shop on Soi Thong Lo 9, run by Hong Kong-born owners since 2014, and the 2027 MICHELIN Guide Thailand gave this flagship a Bib Gourmand, new that year. There's a second branch at G Tower near Rama 9, but the Thong Lo shop is the one in the guide.

The noodles and the chili sauce are made in-house, and the shrimp roe and dried flatfish come from Hong Kong. The inspectors' must-order is the dry shrimp roe noodles with tiger prawn wontons. Michelin lists it open daily from 07:00 to 22:00, so it works for breakfast as well as a late dinner, and it takes cards.

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.
