Decision: Bangkok has exactly two 3-star Michelin restaurants — Sorn (Southern Thai) and Sühring (modern German). [1] Sorn is closed on Saturdays [15] — for a Saturday-evening dinner, Sühring is your only 3-star option. Both sit in roughly the same price band (฿7,200–฿7,800++ for dinner), but Sühring has more seats and a longer booking window, making it the more accessible choice even on other nights.

Fine Southern Thai · Chef Supaksorn "Ice" Jongsiri

⚠ Closed Saturday 22 seats Thailand's 1st 3★ #17 World's 50 Best 2025

Chef Supaksorn "Ice" Jongsiri (self-taught, co-founded with Yodkwan U-Pumpruk) revives the culinary traditions of Thailand's 14 southern provinces, almost none of which appear in Bangkok's mainstream dining scene. The kitchen hand-mills curry pastes, ages fish sauce in-house, and cooks rice in clay pots over charcoal. [12] Every ingredient is sourced directly from accountable southern farmers and fishers.

Modern German · Chefs Thomas & Mathias Sühring

Open Saturday ~50 seats · 4 spaces Thailand's 2nd 3★ #22 World's 50 Best 2025

Twin brothers Thomas and Mathias Sühring were raised in East Berlin and trained across Europe — Mathias at De Librije (Netherlands) under Jonnie Boer, Thomas at La Pergola (Rome). [14] They opened in a Bangkok villa in 2016, earning 2 stars a year later and holding them for seven consecutive years before reaching 3 in the 2026 Guide. [3] Their Erlebnis menu rotates quarterly, drawing on childhood memories and applying German techniques — fermentation, curing, smoking, aging — to seasonal produce. [9]
