9,912 places in the directory, 1,415 with a phone number on file. Say what you want in your own language and NUM does the rest in Thai.
Bangkok defeats search. The good places have no website, the ones with a website are not the good places, and the reviews are six months out of date in a city that turns over faster than that. Asking someone who knows has always worked better than looking, and that is the whole shape of NUM.
NUM holds 9,912 Bangkok places — 2,670 restaurants, 1,265 cafes, 924 hotels and 249 hostels. 1,415 have a phone number on file and 1,324 have a website. Counted from the live directory on 31 July 2026.
Free to travellers, nothing added to your bill. A business pays 10% of a booking NUM completes for it, out of what it already charges. Nobody buys placement, because placement is not for sale.

Bangkok listings are held at street level rather than by khet, so this is the ground NUM searches, not a count per area.
Not keywords. Whole sentences, in any language, with the constraints that make the answer useful — the time, the budget, the person who cannot manage stairs.
If you run one of the 9,912 places above, it is already in the directory. Claiming it is free, and it stays free — there is no listing fee and no monthly minimum. NUM takes 10% of a booking it sends you and you complete, out of the price you already charge. Nothing on walk-ins. Nothing on your own repeat customers. Nothing if the booking does not happen.
Claiming also fixes what the directory gets wrong: your hours, your phone number, what you actually serve, and whether you can take a table of eight at nine on a Friday. NUM cannot recommend what it cannot confirm, so a claimed listing is worth more than an unclaimed one for reasons that have nothing to do with paying us.
9,912 as of 31 July 2026 — 2,670 restaurants, 1,265 cafes, 924 hotels. 1,415 have a phone number on file and 1,324 have a website. Counted from the live directory, not estimated.
Yes — that is the point. You ask in your language, NUM talks to the business in Thai, and comes back to you in yours. The language gap is where most of Bangkok gets lost, so it is the first thing NUM removes.
Yes, and nothing is added to your bill. A business pays 10% of a booking NUM completes for it, out of the price it already charges.
405 street food and takeaway listings are in the directory, but the best stalls in this city are in no dataset anywhere and never will be. NUM will tell you when it is guessing, which is more than a map will.
No. 9,912 is a directory count. Verified means the owner claimed the listing and passed a 5arz check. NUM says which of the two it is showing you, every time.
Claim your listing. Free to list, free to stay listed, 10% only on a booking NUM sends you and you complete — nothing on walk-ins or your own repeat customers.
