PRU Becomes Phuket’s First Two-Star Restaurant in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2027

The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2027, the tenth edition of the guide in the country, was announced in Bangkok on 10 November 2026. It lists a record 507 restaurants, among them 53 with stars, 151 Bib Gourmands and 303 recommended addresses. Its headline is outside the capital: PRU, in Phuket, became the first restaurant beyond Bangkok and its neighbouring provinces to hold two stars.

Phuket’s two stars

PRU is the tasting-menu restaurant beside Trisara, on the north-west coast of the island, and cooks from its own farm. In 2018 it was the first restaurant in Thailand outside Bangkok to win a star, and it had kept one every year since. Two other Phuket restaurants join the one-star list: Omemo, new to the guide, and Jaras, at InterContinental Phuket on Kamala Beach, promoted from the selection.

The top of the guide

There is no new three-star restaurant. Sorn, which became the first in Thailand to reach the top level two years ago, and Sühring, promoted in the last edition, both keep their three stars. Ten restaurants now hold two. Besides PRU, the new ones are both in Bangkok: Blue by Alain Ducasse, the French chef’s restaurant at ICONSIAM on the Chao Phraya, and Mia, the tasting menu of Pongcharn “Top” Russell and Michelle Goh off Sukhumvit Soi 26.

New stars

Forty-one restaurants hold one star, ten of them new. Five are new to the guide: Liana, MACHRI, THARN and The China House by Chef Fei, at Mandarin Oriental, in Bangkok, and Omemo in Phuket. Five were promoted from the selection: Duet by David Toutain, at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok, I-SANG and Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo in Bangkok, Jaras in Phuket, and Belén by Paulo Airaudo in Chiang Mai, the first restaurant in that city to receive a star.

Awards

The guide gave five special awards. The service award went to Chanyawi Mukmaneerattanapon of hom in Phuket; the opening of the year to Kongwuth Chaiwongkachon of Taang in Bangkok; the mentor chef award to Arnaud Dunand-Sauthier of Maison Dunand in Bangkok; the young chef award to Natdanai Kitkorsup of lob-baan in Phuket; and the sommelier award to Charles Elie-Rodenstein of Cannubi by Umberto Bombana in Bangkok. Twenty-six new Bib Gourmands were added.

Ten years after its first Thai edition, one of the country’s twelve restaurants with two or more stars is now in Phuket, and the stars reach as far north as Chiang Mai. Its spread across the continent is traced in OKYTO’s timeline of the Michelin Guide in Asia.
