Embark on a Delish Journey With Authentic Thai Curries in Bangkok

Brimming with spice blends, Thai curry has been listed as one of the most popular Thai dishes by Taste Atlas in 2022. Unlike Indian curries, the traditional Thai stew has a soup-like consistency. Its aromatic leaves and culinary herbs create layers of flavours while adding more nutritional value to any dish.

Thai curry has two ways to cook – water-based and coconut milk-based. It also has different types, including green curry, yellow curry, red curry, Massaman curry, Phanaeng curry, Khao soi, Khanom chin nam ya, Khua kling, Kaeng tai pla, Isan-style curry, and Hang Lay curry.

There's no denying that curry runs aplenty in Thailand. We took a virtual currysmatic tour to find the best restaurants serving authentic Thai curry in Bangkok. Check them out!
