Bangkok, Thailand, November 21, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / Culinary stars will shine at the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Thailand 2026, officially scheduled for Thursday, November 27, 2025 at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok – with the announcement of the eagerly awaited full restaurant selection at the press conference and the celebration of the talented Thai culinary scene at the exclusive gala dinner.

To mark the 125th anniversary of the MICHELIN Guide this year, the ceremony invites guests to trace the remarkable history of the guide through a special information exhibition in the reception area, thus underlining its legacy as the longest-running and most respected restaurant guide in the world.

The winners of this year's MICHELIN Guide Special Award will be announced at the press conference – including an award being presented in Thailand for the first time. Further highlights include the presentation of the MICHELIN Green Star and the prestigious MICHELIN Stars (one, two, and three) – culminating in an exclusive media interview with the winners.

The Bib Gourmand selection is announced one week before the awards ceremony. This latest edition covers Bangkok and the surrounding provinces, Phuket and Phang-Nga, Chiang Mai, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Isan (Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani and Khon Kaen), Ko Samui and Surat Thani, as well as Chon Buri.

Each establishment included in the selection is independently and discreetly assessed by anonymous MICHELIN Guide inspectors based on five globally applied criteria:

  • The quality of the ingredients
  • Mastering cooking techniques
  • The personality of the kitchen
  • The consistency both over time and throughout the entire menu

    • The awards ceremony, which is by invitation only, concludes with a luncheon. Media representatives have the opportunity to speak with renowned chefs and gain insights into their culinary expertise while enjoying dishes from MICHELIN-recommended restaurants, including the Bib Gourmand-awarded Aunglo by Yangrak (Bangkok) and Krua Lawng Khao (Chiang Mai), as well as MICHELIN Selected restaurants such as Delia (Bangkok), Garlic (Bangkok), Kaen (Khon Kaen), and Tambu (Phuket).

    To allow gourmets and culinary professionals worldwide to participate in this remarkable milestone in Thailand's gastronomic history, the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Thailand 2026 will be broadcast live on the MICHELIN Guide YouTube channel.
