The 2018 edition was the inaugural edition of the Michelin Guide in Thailand, initially only covering Bangkok.
Bangkok was the seventh Asian city/region to have a dedicated Red Guide, after Tokyo, Hong Kong & Macau, Osaka & Kyoto, Singapore, Shanghai and Seoul.
Since then, Michelin Guide Thailand expanded its coverage to Phuket, Phang-Nga, Chiang Mai, and Ayutthaya.
In 2023, 4 more provinces in Isan region; Nakorn Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, and Khon Kaen were added.
As of the 2025 guide, there are 36 restaurants across Thailand with a Michelin-star rating, a rating system used by the Michelin Guide to grade restaurants based on their quality.
