Bangkok, 27 September 2024 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) proudly congratulates 58 hotels across Thailand for receiving the highly regarded MICHELIN Keys. Among these, 8 hotels were awarded Three Keys, 19 earned Two Keys, and 31 secured One Key status.
Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, expressed, “This inaugural MICHELIN Key selection marks a significant milestone for Thailand’s hospitality industry. It aligns with the government’s mission to elevate the country as a global tourism hub.”
She added, “The MICHELIN Guide has already played a pivotal role in spotlighting Thailand’s culinary excellence. With the upcoming launch of the guide’s eighth edition, we look forward to further solidifying Thailand’s reputation as a premier travel destination.”
Thailand is the second Asian nation to have its hotels recognized by MICHELIN, following the introduction of the MICHELIN Key distinction in April 2024. Other countries with this recognition include France, Spain, Italy, Japan, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
