» The Michelin Guide has led to an explosion in the Thai food scene since it was first published a year ago. Now, for better or for worse, every restaurant new and old is chasing stars.

The route, being promoted by the Department of Tourism under a homestay-standardisation project, emphasises the local ways of life related to elephant-raising, silk-weaving, basketry and cultural diversity.
