[title]Bangkok has never been short of chicken rice opinions – our own guide to the best chicken rice in Bangkok is proof – but now there’s a website that puts the whole country on one map and gives the debate a leaderboard. Meet Thaichickenrice.net, also known as Thai Chicken Rice Guide (ข้าวมันไก่ Guide), a directory of khao man gai restaurants across Thailand, from Bangkok and Samut Prakan to Ayutthaya.
Open the site and it reads like a league table, with scores, provinces and reviews covering chicken, rice, dipping sauce, soup, liver and blood. There’s one distinction worth knowing: the main leaderboard draws on Intouch’s own reviews, while a separate Google Maps view shows Google ratings. Visitors can submit reviews too, but the headline scores aren’t a public vote.
Checked on November 12 2026, Nid Khao Man Gai Ton led on 9.4, with five restaurants tied behind it on 9.3. Here are the first five entries displayed, plus the other restaurant sharing second place.
- Nid Khao Man Gai Ton (นิดข้าวมันไก่ตอน) – Bangkok – 9.4
42 Soi Lat Phrao 124, Phlabphla, Wang Thonglang, Bangkok
2. Ko Chow Chicken Rice Standalone (โกเฉ่าข้าวมันไก่ Standalone) – Samut Prakan – 9.3
102 Soi Lat Krabang 54, Sisa Chorakhe Yai, Bang Sao Thong, Samut Prakan. The site describes orange-and-black canvas opposite Lab Yaso as a landmark,
3. Khao Man Gai To Phap (ข้าวมันไก่โต๊ะพับ) – Bangkok – 9.3
At the entrance to Soi Khlong Lam Chiak 3, Nuanchan, Nuanchan, Bueng Kum, Bangkok.
4. Fukkee Betong (ฟุกกี่ เบตง) – Bangkok – 9.3
2128/10 Charoen Krung Road, Wat Phraya Krai, Bang Kho Laem, Bangkok, near Asiatique The Riverfront and Wat Ratchasingkhon.
5. Muek Man Gai (หมึกมันไก่ ข้าวมันไก่สไตล์สิงคโปร์) – Bangkok – 9.3
The ranked entry is at 91/5 Suan Phak Road, Taling Chan, Bangkok. The restaurant also has a Phetchaburi Soi 5 branch at 47/1, Thung Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi.
With five restaurants sharing second place, there’s no pecking order among them. Bangkok claims four of the six leading spots, with Samut Prakan and Ayutthaya taking one each.
The writer’s snapshot also recorded 2024 honours: Nid as MVP, To Phap in fourth place and Muek in second. These historical distinctions are separate from the current scores.
Treat the table as one reviewer’s guide to your next plate, rather than a nationwide consensus. Check the restaurant’s own page for current opening hours before setting off, especially for Nid: one of Intouch’s reviews mentions a pause in chicken rice service.
