The tenth edition of the Michelin Guide Thailand was announced on 10 November 2026 and recommends 507 restaurants, according to Travel And Tour World. They include 53 starred restaurants, 151 Bib Gourmand venues and 303 Michelin-selected restaurants. The 2027 selection has two three-star restaurants, ten with two stars and 41 with one star.
In Chiang Mai, Belén by Paulo Airaudo moved up from the Michelin-selected category to one star. This makes it the northern city's first Michelin-starred restaurant. The report says its cooking combines local produce with refined European techniques.
In Phuket, PRU, which previously held one star, was awarded two. The report describes it as the first restaurant outside Bangkok and its surrounding provinces to hold two stars. Jaras and Omemo each received a first star on the island.
In Bangkok, Sorn and Sühring kept their three stars, while Blue by Alain Ducasse and Mia advanced to two.
The Bib Gourmand list, which honours good food at moderate prices, has 151 restaurants, including 26 newcomers. Of the 151, Bangkok and its surrounding provinces account for 49, and Chiang Mai and Phuket have 20 each.
Travel And Tour World presents the results as a boost for Thailand's food tourism and says the country is competing with others for luxury food travellers. It also notes that Michelin recognition does not by itself mean more tourists will visit. The article was published on 11 November 2026 and updated on 12 November.
