What is it? One MICHELIN Star and a location out in Nonthaburi. For those who treat khao chae as a pilgrimage rather than a meal, Suan Thip is the destination. Available for one week in April only.
Why we love it: The khao chae is prepared in the traditional Thai way: jasmine-scented water served chilled with a delicate floral fragrance. The brevity of the window – a single week – says something honest about the restaurant's priorities. The property has a garden restaurant set among tropical trees on the Nonthaburi outskirts – a real breath of fresh air while enjoying this fresh dish.
Time Out tip: If you're serious about khao chae, you have already set a reminder. If you haven't, do it now – this is the one that sells out first!
