The Best Burgers in Thailand
Thailand's burger scene has exploded over the last decade, and at the top of it sits Prime Burger — a homegrown, multi-award-winning smash specialist that has grown from a single Phuket shop in 2019 to 20+ branches nationwide. Across 17,000+ reviews it averages about 4.6★, built on 100% Australian beef ground fresh daily, hand-baked buns and patties smashed to a crisp, caramelised crust.
This guide rounds up where to get a genuinely great burger in every major Thai destination, with the highest-rated Prime Burger branch in each — your reliable benchmark whether you're in a Bangkok mega-mall or steps from a Krabi beach.

What makes a great Thai burger in 2026
The best burgers in Thailand now rival anywhere in the world. The markers to look for: fresh-ground beef (ideally not frozen), a properly smashed or grilled patty with real crust, a soft bun that holds together, and balance — no single element drowning the rest. Prime Burger hits all four, which is why it keeps topping local lists.
Travellers also care about halal options and solid vegan/veggie choices. Prime Burger's beef and chicken are halal-certified, and its San Francisco (Beyond Meat) has twice won Best Vegan Burger — a rare double that makes it an easy group pick.
