The announcement on Wednesday precedes the official Michelin Stars revelation scheduled for December 13.
Of the new eateries, 12 are based in Koh Samui and Surat Thani mainland – two new destinations covered in the 2024 Michelin Guide Thailand.
The Bib Gourmand distinction, symbolised by the “Bibendum” or “Michelin Man”, acknowledges both restaurants and street stalls that Michelin inspectors consider to be the “best value for money”.
“Thailand remains a country where you can eat remarkably well at surprisingly low prices,” said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of Michelin Guides.
“Our inspectors are delighted to continue to find more excellent and diverse cooking at budget-friendly prices across all regions of Thailand, including the new areas of Koh Samui and Surat Thani.”
