10. Jeh O Chula – Michelin-recommended MAMA noodles
If you love spicy food, don’t miss out on the Michelin Guide recommended Jeh O Chula, which is located near Siam Paragon. This store is considered by many locals to be the best place to get the authentic taste of Thai tom yum soup.

In a big bowl of instant noodles you’ll find succulent prawns, squid, pork meatballs, eggs, and crispy pork simmering in creamy tom yum soup.
