The Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce, Royal Thai Government has therefore initiated the Thai Select to certify and promote authentic Thai cuisine, both Thai restaurant and ready-to-eat processed Thai food, around the world, as well as encouraging Thai restaurateurs and food producers to maintain their high standard.

There are 1,101 Thai Select restaurants around the world (as of January 2018) and 109 Thai SELECT restaurants in the UK and Ireland.

The certification of a Thai SELECT restaurant is divided into two categories based on decoration and service excellence: – Thai SELECT Premium indicates a degree of excellence of 5-star or higher.

The label is granted to restaurants that offer authentic Thai food of premium quality with luxury decorations and outstanding services. – Thai SELECT indicates a degree of excellence of 3 to 4 stars, awarded to restaurants serving fine authentic Thai foods.

Thai SELECT certifies food, but also the hospitality and atmosphere of restaurants.

They are recognised for their ambience, authenticity, cleanliness, quality of ingredients and service. The activities of Thai SELECT include the promotion of Thai food campaigns and festivals, which help increase the demand on Thai food consumption. This year’s UK restaurant campaign is running alongside the Thai New Year celebration (13th – 15th April) also known as Songkran. Find various restaurant promotions via our social media pages. Look out for the THAI SELECT stamp of approval. It assures you that delicious Thai cuisine is being served in a pleasant atmosphere, and with the famous Thai smile.

It’s not just a meal; it’s a journey into Thai culture.
