Today I had Moo Kra Ta at a place that really felt like home. The seafood dipping sauce was super tasty and everything was totally worth the price. I was served by P‘Aun, who was incredibly friendly and attentive—always checking in and chatting with us, making the whole experience feel very warm and welcoming.

Great Thai Hot Pot! A friend recommended Thai Orchid, and it did not disappoint! The Thai hot pot was delicious—the broth was rich, and the ingredients were fresh. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a nice, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!

Food was really good! The portion of the sea bass and prawn toast were very generous and full of flavour.

I opted for the set menu, which included a platter for the starter, followed by Pad Krapow Beef (Stir-fried beef with holy basil) and a side of rice. I also noticed they offer moo-ka-ta, a Thai-style BBQ that looks really delicious. Unfortunately, since I’m dining alone, I’m unsure I could finish the whole set. They’ve mentioned that it’s best to book in advance for it as well. Anyway, the restaurant has lovely, well-decorated, and staff are friendly as well.

Just had an amazing meal at Thai Orchid and honestly—wow. We ordered quite a bit (because everything on the menu looked too good to pass up) and every dish delivered. The green curry was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor—exactly the kind of comfort food you crave. The Pad Thai? Chef’s kiss. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too oily, and seriously generous with the portion size. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re into authentic Thai food done right!!
