Two New Labels in the Bangkok Dining & Bar Index｜TOP25 Restaurants Thailand Awards 2026 and MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2027 Bib Gourmand

The Bangkok Dining & Bar Index added two labels on November 3, 2026. The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2027 Bib Gourmand label appeared at midday, followed in the late afternoon by the “TOP25 Restaurants Thailand Awards 2026” label.

Bacchus Global (BG), an importer of Japanese alcoholic beverages in Bangkok, publishes the index. It currently lists 1,383 establishments in Japanese, English and Thai.

The TOP25 Label on 25 Bangkok Restaurant Cards

The TOP25 Restaurants Thailand Awards 2026 ceremony took place on October 26, 2026, at Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok. Travelindex Group, which runs the TOP25 Restaurants guide, recognizes selected restaurants in Bangkok, Phuket and southern Thailand. BG took part in the ceremony as a beverage partner.

The index added the label to the cards of the 25 restaurants ranked in the Bangkok category. The label links to the organizer’s list of winners. It appears the same way in Japanese, English and Thai, and it was the only change to those cards in the TOP25 update.

The index lists six of the 25 under Thai cuisine, including Nusara, POTONG, R-HAAN and Sorn. Three are listed under Japanese cuisine: Nobu Bangkok, Resonance and Sushi Masato. The other 16 are listed under international cuisine, which covers French, Italian, Indian and other cuisines. They include Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie, INDDEE and Sühring. Together, the 25 restaurants span 11 of the index’s areas, including Riverside and Ekkamai.

MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2027 Bib Gourmand｜Nine New Selections in Bangkok and the Surrounding Provinces

Also on November 3, the MICHELIN Guide announced the Bib Gourmand selections for its tenth Thailand edition. Bib Gourmand is a distinction separate from MICHELIN Stars. The guide selected 151 establishments nationwide, including 26 new selections, twice as many as in the previous edition. Bangkok and the surrounding provinces accounted for 49 establishments, nine of them newly selected. The announcement of the MICHELIN Stars is scheduled for November 10.

The index added the 2027 Bib Gourmand label for all nine on the day of the announcement. Seven needed new cards: Duck Noodle House, Gokfayuen, Jay Ngor Beef Noodle, KAO SOY PRIN, Mae Prapha Crispy Pancake (Phra Nakhon), Mae Thum Padthai Kheng and SANE. The other two, Kamkinsuk and Rua Po Seafood by Saensomboon, already had cards. The MICHELIN Guide lists the latter as Rue Poh. The selections include noodle shops, a northern Thai khao soi shop, a pad thai shop and a shop serving khanom buang, a crisp Thai pancake.

When to Use the Awards List and When to Use the Index

The cards already show guide listings and awards, and the TOP25 label follows the same format. On the card for Sorn, a southern Thai restaurant, it sits alongside the MICHELIN Guide and Tatler Best Restaurants Thailand labels. The card brings those references together even on a phone screen.

The TOP25 label is not available as a filter. The organizer’s list is the place to see the full lineup of winners. Under Background, the Bib Gourmand filter shows all indexed venues with that distinction, regardless of year. The cards for the nine new selections show the 2027 label.

An awards list leaves other questions open. Which neighborhood is the restaurant in? Does it have counter seating or private rooms? When did it open? The index brings those details together on the card. A restaurant first encountered on an awards list can be looked up by name, while a search by area or format might turn up an award on the card of an unfamiliar restaurant. The award is one clue to getting to know the place.

What You Can Search for in the Bangkok Dining & Bar Index

Like an index at the back of a book, this one organizes information so it is easier to look up. Filters can be combined across:

• Categories (Japanese, Thai, international and bars) and genres such as sushi, yakitori and Thai royal cuisine
• 17 areas, including Thong Lo, Phrom Phong and Silom, and soi numbers along Sukhumvit Road
• Days of operation and lunch budget
• Formats such as counter seating, private rooms and rooftops; opening year; and venue background, such as whether the original restaurant is in Japan or whether this is its first location in Thailand

Cards show verified opening hours and access details where available, along with links to official websites and maps where provided. Verification dates appear with the information checked. You can copy a link that preserves your selected filters. The index can also be added to a phone’s home screen and opened like an app.

Here is the POP card displayed in stores. Scanning the QR code with a smartphone opens the index, with no sign-up or installation needed.

BG imports and sells alcoholic beverages at wholesale and retail. Restaurants may also be BG customers. The same listing criteria apply to every establishment, whether or not it does business with BG. Listings are free, and the index carries no advertising. BG receives no payment from establishments for listings, links or reservation information.

Getting to Know the Area Around Your Own Business

For restaurant and retail operators, filtering by the area or genre of their own business offers a way to see what kinds of places are nearby and which appear in guides or awards lists. The contact details at the bottom of the page are for requests to correct information or remove a listing.
