Thailand is crowned the best country for food in 2025, and we can think of plenty of reasons why this title is appropriate. Seven Bangkok restaurants placed in the top 35 of this year’s prestigious World’s Best Restaurants rankings, strong regional diversity means that each new destination also wraps you in never-before-tasted flavors, and lively night markets mean the delicious tasting rarely has to stop. Thailand has mastered the art of delivering mouth-watering cuisine with minimal fuss, and whether you're a fan of Thai food or not, the heart-warming bowls of noodles, curries, and soups are sure to win you over, especially when served by a friendly local.
