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

Prik-Yuak has cooked home-style Thai food for more than thirty years, and it now fills a renovated former school building on Pradiphat Road in Phaya Thai, with a garden, a café and a small shop alongside the dining room. Portions are generous and come on clay plates lined with banana leaves.

The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Thailand gives it a Bib Gourmand, and the dish its inspectors single out is squid stir-fried with yellow chili and basil. HungryGoWhere's pick is the southern crab curry with rice noodles. It's open Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00 until about 21:00 and closed on Mondays. The guide lists it as cash only, so bring baht.

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.
