BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 November 2025 - Michelin has officially unveiled the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 edition, revealing the much-anticipated full restaurant selection with a total of 468 dining venues: 2 Three MICHELIN Stars (1 promoted from Two MICHELIN Stars), 8 Two MICHELIN Stars (2 promoted from One MICHELIN Star), 33 One MICHELIN Star (3 newcomers, and 4 promoted from MICHELIN Selected), 137 Bib Gourmand (13 newcomers), and 288 MICHELIN Selected (50 newcomers). imageGwendal Poullennec, International Director of The MICHELIN Guide, revealed: "Thailand remains a vibrant destination for unique and diverse culinary experiences, with this year's MICHELIN Guide brimming with exciting surprises and fresh developments. The latest edition showcases a broader range of cuisines, reflecting Thailand's dynamic and ever-evolving food scene, driven by remarkable energy and creativity. With the growing number of MICHELIN Stars, Thailand shines ever brighter on the global gastronomic map." Overview of Thailand's Evolving Restaurant Landscape and Culinary Trends According to Mr. Poullennec, MICHELIN Guide Inspectors observed a growing presence of international chefs across Thailand, bringing fresh energy and global perspectives, while incorporating local ingredients and traditions into their creations. Meanwhile, Thai chefs are advancing local cuisine with more defined and expressive regional flavors. A stronger spirit of collaboration between chefs and producers has also emerged, with many restaurants sourcing seasonal ingredients directly from small farmers and local communities. Food and drink pairings remain central to the dining experience, with non-alcoholic options made from herbs and flowers growing in popularity alongside fine wines. MICHELIN Guide Inspectors further noted the rise of chef-driven casual restaurants, plant-forward menus, and modern Thai concepts that honor traditional roots. Responsible cooking, mindful sourcing, and "borderless" or "creative" cuisine ─ where chefs blend techniques and ingredients from multiple culinary traditions ─ are increasingly shaping Thailand's dining scene. 'Sühring' Promoted to Three MICHELIN Stars ─ Thailand's Second Restaurant to Earn this Honor Joining Sorn, the holder of Thailand's first-ever Three MICHELIN Stars, is Sühring ─ a restaurant, founded by twin chefs Thomas and Mathias Sühring. The restaurant serves a modern German tasting menu inspired by family recipes, childhood memories and travels. At Sühring, seasonal ingredients are expertly prepared using traditional German techniques such as fermenting, pickling and curing; while each dish is carefully crafted and artfully presented, making the dining experience as visually captivating as it is delicious. First featured in the inaugural 2018 edition of The MICHELIN Guide Thailand with One MICHELIN Star, Sühring was promoted to Two MICHELIN Stars the following year and has retained this distinction for seven consecutive years. Its promotion to the highly coveted Three MICHELIN Stars in the 2026 edition reflects the restaurant's outstanding culinary excellence, consistency, and commitment to the highest standards of gastronomy. 'Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie' and 'INDDEE' Form a Duo Promoted from One MICHELIN Star to Two MICHELIN Stars In the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Thailand edition, the Two-MICHELIN-Star listing adds 2 new entries promoted from One MICHELIN Star:
  • Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie, a contemporary French restaurant where Chef Anne-Sophie Pic joins forces with her trusted Japanese Head Chef, Tamaki Kobayashi, to present an exquisite menu that highlights her signature creations, including the renowned lobster dishand the thoughtfully curated Voyage menu.
  • INDDEE, a modern Indian restaurant that takes diners on a culinary journey across India through a set menu of around 10 courses that captivates with its visual artistry, memorable flavors, and meaningful stories fromCarabinero symbolizing Goa, to Pickled Vegetables evoking the harsh Himalayan winter, and Patrawith Hokkaido Scallops reflecting the chef's Japanese culinary experience.
