Khong Chiam, Thailand
Pae Araya
A floating restaurant at the confluence of the Mekong and Mun Rivers, Pae Araya earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025 for its daily-changing menu of central Thai and Isan dishes built around fresh river fish. The catch arrives each morning, Tom Yum redtail catfish and local roe anchoring a menu best experienced at sunset, when the Laotian bank turns gold across the water.
