The apps tourists actually use to find restaurants, order delivery and decide what to eat in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and beyond.

Updated October 2026 · 10 apps · facts checked against each app's listing or news sources

The quick answer

Install Google Maps and Grab before you land: between them you can find restaurants, get there and order delivery. Add LINE MAN for the widest local delivery choice, Wongnai to see where Thai people eat, and FeedMii for the nights you can't decide what to eat. Note that foodpanda left Thailand in May 2025.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best food delivery app in Thailand?

For most tourists, GrabFood is the easiest: English interface, foreign numbers and international cards usually work, and it covers Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Phuket. LINE MAN has one of the largest choices of local restaurants and translates menus and rider chat into English. Robinhood is an alternative in Bangkok.

What app do tourists use to find restaurants in Thailand?

Most use Google Maps for nearby places and directions and Tripadvisor for reviews from other travellers. Wongnai shows where locals eat, the MICHELIN Guide lists 137 Bib Gourmand places for 2026, and FeedMii helps you pick a dish first and then shows places nearby that serve it.

Do I need a Thai phone number for Grab or LINE MAN?

Not always, but both apps send an SMS code at sign-up. Grab usually works with a foreign number that can receive texts abroad; travel guides say a Thai SIM is often needed for LINE MAN. A data-only eSIM can't receive SMS codes.

Is foodpanda still in Thailand?

No. foodpanda ended all services in Thailand on 23 May 2025. Use GrabFood, LINE MAN or Robinhood instead.

Which app helps me decide what to eat in Thailand?

FeedMii is built for that: swipe or spin to choose a dish (including Thai dishes from the region you are in), then see well-rated places nearby. It is free for iPhone and iPad.
