What has changed
Michelin released its 2027 Thailand restaurant selection on Tuesday, 10 November. The guide’s 10th Thai edition includes 507 establishments and 53 starred restaurants. Two changes stand out for travellers planning meals outside Bangkok: Chiang Mai has its first starred restaurant and Phuket has its first with two stars.
What changed in the new edition
Belén by Paulo Airaudo became Chiang Mai’s first Michelin-starred restaurant, moving up from Michelin Selected to one star. In Phuket, PRU moved from one star to two, and Omemo and Jaras joined the one-star list. Michelin says PRU is also the first restaurant outside Bangkok and its surrounding provinces to reach two stars in the Thailand guide. Sorn and Sühring retained their three stars.
Across the whole selection, there are two three-star restaurants, 10 two-star restaurants and 41 one-star restaurants. Michelin also lists 151 Bib Gourmand establishments and 303 in its Michelin Selected category. Those groups are separate from the starred list and make up most of the places included in the edition.
How to use the guide for a trip
Start with the destinations already on your itinerary. The guide’s categories can help narrow the search: Bib Gourmand is useful when looking for places Michelin judges to offer good value, while the starred list can help plan a particular meal. If a restaurant matters to your plans, check its current hours, menu price and reservation rules with the restaurant itself before travelling.
The 2027 label is the edition year. The results were announced in November 2026 and the full starred list is already available through Michelin.
