Do you offer guided tours for Michelin-starred restaurants in Thailand?

Because of this post, I often receive inquiries about guided tour services for Michelin-starred restaurants in Thailand. Here’s the useful information for reference:

• Getyourguide.com, one of the top global tour platforms,offers a highly-rated Michelin-starred restaurant tuk-tuk tour(with English Speaking guide)

How to Reserve a Table at a Michelin Restaurant in Thailand? How Far in Advance?

Michelin restaurants in Thailand usually require reservations at least one month in advance. Book via the restaurant’s official website, FB/IG/Line, or by phone.

• Hungry Hub, Thailand’s largest high-end restaurant booking platform,allows direct reservations for Michelin-starred restaurants.
• If Hungry Hub doesn’t have your desired restaurant, contact the restaurant directly. Common reservation issues include:
  • Some Michelin restaurants are too busy to respond on Facebook/Instagram/Line, or overseas calls may not connect due to language barriers.
  • Reservations usually require a deposit (around 1500-2500 Baht), and international transfer fees can be high.
  • For readers facing difficulties with Michelin reservations, examples see below. Feel free to contact us viaFB | Line .

For example, when dealing with this Michelin restaurant, you must first call the restaurant to specify the date and your requirements.

Only then will the restaurant send an email to confirm the reservation and provide information for the deposit transfer.

Inability to communicate with the restaurant for booking. No response calling or messaging the restaurant.

High bank fees for transferring the prepayment amount of 1,000-3,000 THB internationally.
