I crave Thai......!

I get this frequent craving for good Thai--at least once a week.

The closest I can find is Royal Orchid on 98, near Silver Sands.

Anyone up for a good Thai restaurant on 30A? There's strength in numbers.....

Maybe Royal Orchid needs a second location--Grayton Beach would be great. So would Gulf Place (the closer to me, the better!)


Tom-yum is "yum-yum".......

How come no mention of Lin's? Their Thai Curry is a wonderful dish and I would imagine that if someone approached them with a request for more Thai dishes and suggestions for such, they would respond favorably.

Andy....the topic is no Thai restaurant on 30A.

Lin's not on 30A, is it? I thought it was somewhere around Royal Orchid.

Hi Andy - I eat at Lyn's often and not that impressed. It's mediaocre in my opinion but fills the bill when needed.

As for their Thai dishes - I've had them and the curry is OK but nver trust non-thai to cook thai food. These chinese places that try to do other asian cuisines never can quite pull it off.

Re: starting an new Thai restaurant on 30A......

Perhaps.....we don't need a new "start up" Thai restaurant.

Perhaps......we ought to try to get some newly opened, innovative existing restaurant to add several Thai dishes to their menu. Think of it..... Need to perhaps only hire one or two good local Thai chefs, while the infrastructure of the restaurant (building, kitchen, tables, etc) was already in place. At least that would be a good start!

Perhaps......(read the thread regarding La Playa) we already know of a newly opened innovative restaurant we could "enlist" into trying. They'd only have to expand their restaurant's name to read "LA PLAYA, LA PATTYA" (Ohh-La-La)

I can see the bumper sticker now: "Thai one on, at La Playa, La Pattya!....." (say THAT fast, ten times!)

I'd go there at LEAST weekly--and I'd bring a LOT of my friends...... I can taste the Massamun curry now.....!!!!!

See my post above - you need authentic Thai people. Antone can make thai but only thai cooks can elevate it to the level that makes it Thai!

Pickle Factory now serving Thai Food at lunch Tuesday through Friday!

The fried spring rolls are excellent. I've had the shrimp and chicken fried rice, and shrimp curry - all very good.

Jeff and KJ are looking to please and are trying out different dishes - just tell them what you want.

Thanks for the info, Kurt. We'll have to try it....... Do you know if the Pickle Factory was responding to our SoWal thread, or is this just harmonic happenstance? :)

I believe SoWal peeps need to keep them busy at lunch. I'll do my part. It is really good thai food for lunch and pizza for dinner. The spring rolls are as good as any.

I've been asking for Thai since I walked in and met them remodeling.

Pickle Factory is a hidden gem - under the radar. The place has personality. It's real Grayton. Where else can you sit on a comfy sofa and have a great pizza and relax? All of the food is good. Go check it out.

That little corner of Grayton Beach is probably the least known and the best food in the whole of SoWal. Right across from Pickle Factory is the House of Klaus. Absolutely no ambiance but absolutely great food. The best "little" corner in SoWal for wonderful food.
