Food enthusiasts are likely familiar with the Michelin Guide, a yearly publication by the French tire company Michelin that rates restaurants. Being included in the Michelin Guide is considered one of the best and highest honors in the culinary world.
The Michelin Guide has a section called ‘Bib Gourmand.’ This part is a guide for people who are seeking excellent food at a reasonable price.
Bangkok is one of the cities with a unique record in the Michelin Guide because street food became the first to win the Michelin Award. Apart from that, Bangkok also has other restaurants, including Bib Gourmand restaurants.
