“Sorn: A Culinary Triumph – Discover Thailand’s First-Ever Three-Michelin-Star Restaurant!”

A Legendary Achievement in Culinary Excellence

Michelin-Recognized Restaurants in Thailand

Ticy City extends heartfelt congratulations to Sorn, the first restaurant in Thailand to be awarded the prestigious three Michelin stars. This historic recognition solidifies Thailand’s position on the global culinary map.

Sorn, a Southern Thai fine-dining restaurant, masterfully showcases the artistry of cooking through exceptional craftsmanship. Each dish is a harmonious blend of traditional recipes and modern innovations, meticulously crafted to deliver a dining experience that is both exciting and flawless. This commitment to perfection has elevated Sorn to legendary status as Thailand’s first three-Michelin-star establishment.

Sorn first appeared in the Michelin Guide Thailand in 2019, earning one star. By 2020, it had risen to two stars, maintaining this accolade for five consecutive years before achieving three-star status in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2025. This milestone reaffirms Sorn‘s excellence, quality, and consistency, transforming it from a restaurant worth a detour to a destination worth a dedicated journey.
