The wait is over. Sorn, the lauded Thai restaurant under the guidance of chef Supaksorn Jongsiri, has become the first restaurant in Thailand to earn three coveted Michelin stars. The announcement came on November 28 and placed Sorn at the head of more than thirty restaurants in the kingdom to receive Michelin accolades this year.
“If you’re strong enough, they will look up to you. I worked really hard and showed that dreams really can come true,” Supaksorn said in an emotional acceptance speech.
Referencing his young son the chef added, “Someday you will learn in school about the first man on the moon, but today your dad became the first man in Thailand to earn three Michelin stars. A very small piece of history has been written but it will never change. Definitely, absolutely, this is for Thailand.”
Among the restaurants recognised by Michelin in the 2025 edition of its annual dining guide were five new outlets; Akkee, Aulis, Avant, Coda and Goat.
