The MICHELIN Guide announced the restaurants awarded the MICHELIN Bib Gourmand distinction for 2027 in Thailand on 4 November 2026, recommending quality dining venues at affordable prices to mark the 10th anniversary of the Thailand edition. This year's selection comprises a total of 151 restaurants nationwide, including 26 first-time entries, double the previous year's 13 new additions. The list was revealed to build anticipation ahead of the MICHELIN Star award ceremony on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.

A Diverse Selection of Quality Affordable Restaurants Across Thailand

The MICHELIN Bib Gourmand symbol features Bibendum, or the MICHELIN Man, to recognise restaurants selected by inspectors for offering good-quality food at great value. The 151 restaurants span approximately 16 cuisine types, including Asian, Southern Thai, Isan, Northern Thai, seafood, Thai and Chinese, contemporary Thai, contemporary European, Vietnamese, noodles, snacks and grilled dishes. Dining formats range from full-service restaurants, multi-generational family-run businesses and street food stalls to casual venues that clearly reflect the chef's identity.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, stated that this year's selection reflects the distribution of quality restaurants across Thailand, encompassing traditional family-run shops, local street food stalls and venues that express the distinct identity of their cooks. This information helps promote the vibrancy of Thailand's culinary scene to a global audience while serving as a guide for both Thai and international diners to enjoy meals at friendly prices.
