Thailand celebrates the launch of MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2024
Thailand celebrates new MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2024, which continues to showcase Thailand’s rich and diverse gastronomic landscape with distinctive local flavours and charming culinary traditions.
“A dining experience at any one of the listed restaurants or eateries in major cities across the country, listed in the newly launched MICHELIN Guide Thailand edition, will add value to the overall travel experience of both local and foreign tourists, thus making it the experience that is not only pleasant to the palate, but also memorable and meaningful to their heart and soul,” said Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Governor
The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2024 features 447 establishments. These include 7 two MICHELIN Stars (2 promoted from one MICHELIN Star), 28 one MICHELIN Star (3 newcomers, and 3 promoted from MICHELIN Selected), 196 Bib Gourmand (28 newcomers, and 4 moved from MICHELIN Selected), and 216 MICHELIN Selected entries (37 newcomers).
