Our MICHELIN Inspectors have been out and about once again in search for fresh delicious spots worthy of a place in the MICHELIN Guide selection.
As usual, Bib Gourmands, MICHELIN Stars and MICHELIN Green Star will be announced at the end of the year. Every third Wednesday of the month, the new restaurants that will be part of the upcoming MICHELIN Guide Thailand will be featured both on the website and the MICHELIN Guide application.
How will you spot the new additions? They will be highlighted with a ‘New’ symbol. Some of these newly recommended establishments will go on to earn distinctions at the annual MICHELIN Guide ceremony, so why not give them a try and share with us your thoughts?
We are pleased to share the last additions to the MICHELIN Guide Thailand in 2024. This month, our focus is on none other than the Thai capital of Bangkok and Khon Kaen!

March 2024
We kick off 2024 with the latest robust list of restaurants in Bangkok and Khon Kaen, featuring a Southern Thai restaurant, a home-style Thai eatery, a new restaurant by the first MICHELIN Guide Young Chef Award winner in Bangkok, and an exceptional Pad Thai spot in Khon Kaen.
Garlic, Bangkok
Head to this unassuming yet charming restaurant for Thai home-style cooking in Bang Sue district. For over 40 years, diners have been relishing the cosy ambience and a Thai menu that favours seafood over meat. The crispy pork pairs up with a distinctive apple sauce; the tom yum coconut soup is enriched by the flesh of young coconut for a flavour that is a delightful deviation from the norm. Call ahead to nab a table at this neighbourhood gem.
Khaan, Bangkok
The new restaurant of Chef Sujira 'Aom' Pongmorn, Khaan – meaning both "tiger" and "proclaim" in Thai, roars with impressive Thai flavours, while shining a spotlight on ingredients and the provinces from which they're sourced. The chef's use of modern techniques means her culinary creations, served in an elegant space decked out in deep red hues, retain all their characteristic depth. Opt for the tasting menu, paired with wine or tea, to elevate the experience.
Janhom, Bangkok
Aunty Paew has been serving intense southern Thai cuisine for over 20 years, using daily fresh ingredients to inform a changing menu. The chef makes her own curry paste, and signature dishes include Kaeng Tai Pla fish curry and stir-fried stinky beans with shrimp and aromatic shrimp paste. The deep-fried frog with turmeric is another standout. Chilled watermelon refreshes the palate after this fiery feast.
Sriruen Pad Thai (Reunrom Road), Khon Kaen
Chef Sriruen handcrafts exceptional Pad Thai, just as she has done for over 30 years. Originally from Phitsanulok, she serves noodles notable for their bold flavour, imparted by duck eggs. Savour this tasty dish with either thin rice or glass noodles.
