This week, Michelin announced its 2021 stars for Thailand. The dining guide covers Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Phang-Nga, but is still relatively small given its scope with just 28 starred restaurants on the list: 22 with one star, six with two stars, and no three-star restaurants. None of the new additions highlight the country’s rich street food culture, and Jay Fai, despite expressing the desire to be stripped of her one Michelin star, remains the only starred street food vendor in Thailand.
In the latest guide, Michelin promotes just one restaurant to the two-star level. Chef’s Table, a French fine dining restaurant, gets two stars after debuting in the guide with one star last year. All five of the other restaurants in the category maintained their two-star status from 2020.
