For first time, Gaggan nowhere to be found.
Gaggan is gag-gone and new stars took its place in the fine-dining firmament today: Thai restaurants R-Haan and Sorn, which joined binary stars Le Normandie, Mezzaluna and Sühring.
Fortunes will be made and lost based on this morning’s big reveal by Michelin Guide Thailand as to who gets its stars and who doesn’t – the third since the tire-making restaurant kingmakers came to the kingdom.
Gone from its vaunted position was the now-defunct Gaggan, which received two stars last year and vanished from the list since the departure of its eponymous chef, Gaggan Anand.
New faces getting the one-star treatment this year were Chef’s Table Bangkok, 80/20, Khao and Table 38.
