Michelin 2019 stars awarded to restaurants in Bangkok, Phuket, and Phang-nga The little red guide, Michelin awarded 27 restaurants in Thailand for its second year. One was a single street food vendor; Jay Fai, known for its crab omelettes had maintained its one-star accolade from last year. The eatery joins ten other establishments who were awarded with one star each; Canvas, Gaa, Le Du, Methavalai Sorndaeg, PRU, R-Haan, Ruean Panya, Saawaan, Sorn and Suan Thip.

Gaa, who won its first Michelin star, is operated by alumnus of Le Cordon Bleu, Indian chef Garima Arora. She was also the first female Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star. Gaa and Le Du were the only restaurants in Bangkok to progress from the “Plate” – a designation given to restaurants for a good meal with fresh ingredients and capable preparation – to one star.

The two-star category included contemporary European restaurant in Bangkok, Sühring which was awarded one star last year, and three other restaurants – Gaggan, Le Normandie and Mezzaluna.

As of now, there are no three-star restaurants in the guide. No Phang-nga restaurant also made it on the list.
