Suan Thip

Suan Thip holds one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Thailand. The restaurant is in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi — north of Bangkok proper, outside the city limits — making it, along with AKKEE, one of only two Michelin-starred restaurants in the Nonthaburi area. “Suan Thip” means garden in Thai, and the restaurant is set in a large, landscaped outdoor space.

Suan Thip cuisine and style

Suan Thip serves traditional Thai cuisine in a garden dining setting — a format that is popular among Bangkok families and corporate groups visiting from the city. The cooking is rooted in central Thai traditions: rice dishes, curries, stir-fries, seafood, and the standard repertoire of classic Thai food executed with care. Pricing is accessible rather than fine-dining: expect 300–800 THB per person, which makes this one of the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants in Thailand.

Why visit Suan Thip

Suan Thip represents a different end of the Michelin Guide’s evaluation range. The star recognises quality and consistency in a non-fine-dining context — good Thai cooking that delivers reliably, in a setting that is more relaxed than most starred restaurants. For visitors who want Michelin cooking without the tasting-menu price point, or who want to see a wider range of what the Guide recognises in Thailand, Suan Thip is worth the trip to Nonthaburi.

The 4.5/5 Google rating from over 1,000 reviews suggests a restaurant with a large and consistently satisfied local following.

Location and how to get there

Suan Thip is in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi — north of central Bangkok. Nearest BTS/MRT stations (Lak Si MRT, Bang Bua BTS) are in Lak Si. A taxi from central Bangkok takes 40–60 minutes.

When to go

Open for both lunch and dinner. Best visited for a long lunch when the garden setting is at its most pleasant.

Who Suan Thip Is For

Suan Thip suits diners curious about the breadth of Michelin recognition in Bangkok, visitors willing to travel north of the city, and anyone looking for good Thai food in a garden setting at accessible prices.
