Bangkok boasts 39 Michelin stars in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026, or 41 if you include the two restaurants in Nonthaburi just outside the city limits. Two restaurants have been awarded three stars: Sorn for southern Thai cuisine and Sühring for modern German cuisine. Eight restaurants have two stars, and 29 have one. The city also has 32 Bib Gourmands, the guide's award for very good food at reasonable prices, and one Michelin-starred street food stall: Raan Jay Fai, whose prawn omelet remains the guide's most famous dish.

Here you'll find all the Michelin-starred restaurants by category, the Bib Gourmand restaurants worth a trip around town, as well as recommendations for each restaurant, street food options and their locations so you can try several in one day, and our tips for Chiang Mai and Phuket. A date is important if you want to book in advance. Michelin announces its 2027 selection on November 10, 2026, so some of these recommendations may change before then.

    39 Michelin-starred restaurants and 32 Bib Gourmand restaurants in Bangkok

    Two three-star restaurants (Sorn, Sühring), eight two-star restaurants, and 29 one-star restaurants are located in the city itself. Michelin itself cites higher figures, as it also includes the surrounding provinces: 41 starred restaurants and 44 Bib Gourmand awards for "Bangkok and surrounding areas".

    A Bib Gourmand meal costs no more than about 1000 Baht.

    Michelin recently set the price limit for the Thai Bib Gourmand at a maximum of 1,000 baht per dish, and most Bangkok restaurants awarded this distinction are significantly cheaper. A bowl at Kolun.h costs around 100 baht. The stars are awarded solely based on the quality of the food, so even a street food stall can receive one.

    Jay Fai is the only street stall with a star.

    Raan Jay Fai restaurant on Maha Chai Road retained its Michelin star in 2026. It is open from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, Wednesday through Saturday, accepts cash only, and is a walk-in restaurant. The standard crab omelet costs 1,500 baht.

    The stars of 2027 will be announced on November 10, 2026.

    Michelin announces its Bib Gourmand awards about a week before its star ratings. If you have a dinner reservation at a Michelin-starred restaurant for late 2026 or 2027, it's worth checking the new list after its publication.

    Book Michelin-starred restaurants weeks in advance and check if they have any days off.

    Sorn publishes its table reservations for the following month on the 25th, while Sühring and Baan Tepa accept reservations up to 60 days in advance. Most Michelin-starred restaurants are only open in the evenings, and many are closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, or both. Street food stalls, on the other hand, have short opening hours. Thai Tham closes at 2:00 PM, K. Panich at 5:00 PM, and Somsak Pu Ob doesn't open until 4:00 PM.

    Bring cash for the bibs.

    Jay Fai, Bunloet, Ten Suns, Urai, Hia Wan, Pae and Prik-Yuak are listed in the MICHELIN guide as cash only. Thai Niyom, Plu and Janhom accept cards.

    Bangkok's three-star and two-star restaurants

    These are the city's ten two- or three-star restaurants, all in the highest price category of the MICHELIN Guide, and all offering tasting menus for dinner. I haven't eaten at any of them myself, so the following information comes from the MICHELIN Guide and other diners, not from my own experience.

    • What's new in the 2026 Michelin Guide?

    Sühring became the second restaurant in Bangkok to be awarded three stars, joining Sorn. Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie and INDDEE were upgraded to two stars. Nusara, Bo.lan, Gaggan, GOAT, Sushi Saito, Cannubi by Umberto Bombana, etcha, and Juksunchae received their first star, and GOAT was also awarded a Green Star for sustainable cuisine.

    Four restaurants in the greater Bangkok area have been newly awarded the Bib Gourmand, including Kolun.h with its Hainanese noodles, Keawloon with its southern Thai cuisine, Jaan by Khun Jim in Bangkok, and SANN in Nonthaburi. The guidebook lists 468 restaurants throughout Thailand, of which 43 have Michelin stars, 137 have the Bib Gourmand, and 288 others it recommends without any specific award.

    How much a Michelin-starred dinner costs and how to book it

    Prices are taken from the respective websites or booking sites of the restaurants, with the exception of Saneh Jaan, whose prices are taken from the MICHELIN Guide's list of starred restaurants under 5,000 baht. "++" indicates that a 10% service charge and 7% VAT will be added, resulting in a total of approximately 18% on the bill. Menus change seasonally, so please check before booking.

    Jay Fai and Bangkok's Michelin-starred street food

    Michelin lists four restaurants in Bangkok as street food establishments: Jay Fai with one star, and K. Panich, Bunloet, and Somsak Pu Ob with a Bib Gourmand. Other Bib Gourmand awards are given to small shops offering similar dishes. I would recommend setting aside a whole day to explore these places. Most are located in the old city and are easily accessible on foot.

  • 1. Raan Jay Fai, Maha Chai Road, Old City: The only Michelin-starred street food stall. The ski-goggle-wearing chef prepares crab omelets, drunken noodles, and shrimp in yellow curry over charcoal in a storefront on Maha Chai Road. The Michelin star, awarded in 2026, has been retained. The standard crab omelet costs 1,500 baht, the larger version 4,000 baht—prices the restaurant shared with the Thai press in 2025 after being penalized for inadequate price labeling. Open Wednesday to Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Walk-ins only, cash only. Staff take names and orders in the queue, which Michelin says is well-organized. Some diners find the food oilier and saltier than expected, so consider it more of a deliberate experience than the best meal of your trip.

    • All 32 Bib Gourmand restaurants in Bangkok

    The Bib Gourmand list for Bangkok in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 features the dishes awarded by the inspectors. Krua Apsorn's Bib Gourmand applies to the Sam Sen branch in the Dusit Hotel, not to the original restaurant on Dinso Road near the Democracy Monument. Twelve other Bib Gourmand awards can be found in the surrounding provinces, including SANN (new in 2026), Kaeng Pa Loong Sa-Nga in Nonthaburi, and Nai Ngieb in Nakhon Pathom.

    Stars, Bib Gourmand and Selected, explained

    The Michelin stars rate only the cuisine, not the ambiance or service. One star signifies high-quality cuisine worth a stop, two stars excellent cuisine worth a detour, and three stars exceptional cuisine that justifies a special journey. This is why a simple restaurant like Jay Fai can receive a star, and why Saneh Jaan has a star in the second-lowest price category of the Michelin Guide.

    A Bib Gourmand is not a lower star rating. It's a separate award for very good food at a moderate price, which, according to Michelin, was most recently a maximum of 1,000 baht per meal in Thailand. Many restaurants in Bangkok that have been awarded a Bib Gourmand offer only a noodle or rice dish that costs a fraction of that. For precisely this reason, some locals trust a Bib Gourmand more than a Michelin star.

    The Green Star is a separate seal of approval for sustainable cuisine. Five Thai restaurants bear this seal: Baan Tepa, GOAT, and Haoma in Bangkok, as well as Jampa and PRU in Phuket. All other restaurants listed in the Michelin Guide are "Selected"—restaurants recommended by the inspectors without a star rating. There are a total of 288 such restaurants throughout Thailand. A restaurant described as "Michelin Listed" or "in the Michelin Guide" generally belongs to this category. If you see Michelin on a sign or menu, check whether it refers to a star, a Bib Bokeh award, or a listing.

    Where Bangkok's Michelin-starred restaurants are concentrated

    If you plan your meals by neighborhood, you can eat three or four of them in one day without spending time in traffic jams.

    The old town, for a day with street food

    Jay Fai on Maha Chai Road, Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu and Krua Apsorns Original on Dinso Road (the Sam Sen branch has a Michelin star), K. Panich on Tanao Road, Kolun.h by the giant swing, Thai Tham on Phraeng Phuthon, and Ten Suns on Wisut Kasat are all within a few blocks of each other around the Democracy Monument. Start with noodles at Kolun.h or Thai Tham, queue for Jay Fai if necessary, and finish with mango sticky rice at K. Panich before it closes at 5:00 PM. The Michelin-starred Nusara restaurant across from Wat Pho is just a short taxi ride away.

    Chinatown and Song Wat

    Urai's braised goose is located on Song Wat Road, a short walk from POTONG, Chef Pam's Michelin-starred Thai-Chinese restaurant in a 120-year-old family home near Yaowarat Road. Most of the street food in Chinatown after dark is not Michelin-starred, so it's best enjoyed as a light snack before or after a meal.

    Charoen Krung and Bang Rak for dinner

    The largest selection of restaurants can be found along the Bang Rak riverfront. Aksorn and 80/20 (both one Michelin star), Samlor (awarded a Bib Gourmand), Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie (two stars) in the Mandarin Oriental, and Côte (two stars) at Capella are all located on or very near the Charoen Krung. Chef's Table and Mezzaluna are located in the State Tower on Silom Road. Aunglo, also awarded a Bib Gourmand, is on Decho Road near Chong Nonsi. This is the part of the city where I would stay for a Michelin-starred trip.

    Sukhumvit, Thong Lo and Ekkamai

    Sorn and both Rung Rueang branches are located on Sukhumvit 26, Gaa and Bo.lan on Sukhumvit 53, R-Haan near Thong Lo, Gaggan on Sukhumvit 31, and Here Hai on Ekkamai. A dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant can be perfectly combined with a noodle dish for lunch on Soi 26.

    Michelin recommendations beyond Bangkok

    Chiang Mai may not have any stars in the 2026 guidebook, but it does boast 18 Bib Gourmand awards – and these are considered the best places for Northern Thai cuisine in the city. Khao Soi Mae Sai is the best Khao Soi Bib (Monday to Saturday until 4 pm, cash only), Huen Muan Jai serves Northern Thai specialties like galangal dip with mushrooms, Roti Pa Day on Tha Phae Road is the perfect spot for a late-night roti, and Meena in San Kamphaeng offers five-colored rice served in a garden setting.

    Phuket boasts one Michelin-starred restaurant, PRU at Trisara, a farm-to-table tasting menu that also holds a Green Star, and 19 Bib Gourmand awards, most of them in Phuket Town. One Chun, for crab meat in yellow curry, The Charm Dining Gallery, for Peranakan cuisine, Go Benz, for crispy pork late at night, and Roti Chaofa, for breakfast roti with curry, are easily combined dining options in the Old Town. The other southern Michelin-starred restaurant, Aulis, is located in Phang-nga.

    Isan boasts 28 Bib Gourmand awards, Ayutthaya eight – proof of how highly the regional cuisine of Thailand is regarded in the guidebook. If you're looking for a restaurant in Thailand, the guidebook "Best Places in Thailand for Food" offers a comparison of cities.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently asked questions about Michelin-starred restaurants in Bangkok, from three-star restaurants to street food stalls.

    The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 lists 39 restaurants, of which two have three stars (Sorn and Sühring), eight have two stars, and 29 have one star. Michelin itself lists 41 restaurants for "Bangkok and surrounding areas," as this includes two one-star restaurants in Nonthaburi.

    Yes. Raan Jay Fai retained its star in the 2026 guide and remains the only Michelin-starred street food stall in Bangkok. It's open Wednesday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, cash only, no reservations required.

    1,500 baht for the standard crab omelet and 4,000 baht for a larger version – these were the prices the restaurant quoted to the Thai press in 2025. Please bring cash.

    At Jay Fai, one or two courses are served rather than a tasting menu. The most affordable Michelin-starred tasting menus are the weekend lunch at Bo.lan (2,880++ Baht), the five-course menu at Saneh Jaan (3,200++ Baht), and the heritage menu at Nahm (3,900++ Baht), followed by Aksorn (4,150++ Baht) and the 80/20 (4,500++ Baht). The service charge (++) of approximately 18% covers service and VAT.

    An award for very good food at a moderate price, regardless of the star rating. Michelin recently set the price limit for Thailand at a maximum of 1,000 baht per meal, and most of the 32 Michelin-starred restaurants in Bangkok are significantly cheaper; many of them are noodle shops where a bowl costs 60–150 baht.

    Neither category is inherently better. A star rating assesses the quality of the food regardless of price, while a Bib Gourmand recognizes good food at a moderate price. For travelers, Bib Gourmand restaurants often offer better value for money and more authentic Thai cuisine.

    137 in the 2026 guidebook, 13 of which are new. 44 are located in Bangkok and the surrounding provinces (32 in the city itself), 28 in Isan, 19 in Phuket, 18 in Chiang Mai, eight in Ayutthaya, seven in Surat Thani, six in Phang-nga, five in Chon Buri and two on Koh Samui.

    Only Raan Jay Fai. K. Panich (mango sticky rice), Bunloet (egg noodles with grilled pork) and Somsak Pu Ob (crab on glass noodles) are street food dishes with a Bib Gourmand, and noodle shops such as Kolun.h, Ten Suns and Rung Rueang Tung are excellent in all categories except the Bib Gourmand.

    The stars will be announced on Tuesday, November 10, 2026; Michelin will publish the Bib Gourmand awards approximately one week earlier. This page will be updated with the new list.

    Sühring was promoted to three stars, Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie and INDDEE to two stars, and Nusara, Bo.lan, Gaggan, GOAT, Sushi Saito, Cannubi, etcha and Juksunchae are new one-star restaurants in Bangkok. According to the 2026 edition, Thailand has 43 Michelin-starred restaurants and 137 Bib Gourmand awards.

    Secondly: Sorn, for southern Thai cuisine at Sukhumvit 26, and Sühring, for modern German cuisine in a villa on Yen Akat Road, which was awarded three stars in the 2026 guide.

    POTONG is a Michelin-starred restaurant in a historic house near Yaowarat, and Urai Braised Goose on Song Wat Road has been awarded a Bib Gourmand. Jay Fai, K. Panich, and the noodle restaurants in the Old Town are just a short taxi ride north.
