Where to Eat in Patong Beach?
There are so many restaurants in Patong Beach; you would think that finding great Thai food would be easy. But if you know Thailand, you soon will realise that too many of them serve a toned-down version of Thai cuisine or something very far from local food. We understand and respect that many travellers are new to Thai food and might lack the experience to compare.
We have lived in Thailand for over 30 years, and we are very passionate about Thai food, so we might sound a little harsh. We go out there as often as possible, trying new places and restaurants people talk about on social media. So here is our list of the best Thai and international restaurants in Patong. This page keeps growing as we explore and try new restaurants.

No. 9 Restaurant
| Cuisine: Thai, European – Price: $ Cheap |
Number 9 is a modest Thai restaurant that is much talked about on social media. The design is not impressive, and the location by the street makes it somewhat anonymous. The menu is long, offering both Thai and European cuisine. We tried it a couple of times, and we liked the Thai food! It’s not toned down unless you ask, and it is as tasty as Thai food should be.

Kaab Gluay Thai Restaurant

Kaab Kluay is an old-time favourite, run by a local who’s been serving excellent Thai food at the right price for decades. Expats living in Patong know the place very well and often take their guests or customers there for a real Thai dinner. The restaurant is on the outskirts of town, just before the Thai temple you saw when entering Patong, so you probably need a short tuk-tuk ride to get there. The restaurant has an indoor and an outdoor area and is quite big, so you won’t need a reservation. Note that it’s by a busy road, so it’s not exactly a romantic dinner. Read more

No.6 in Patong
| Cuisine: Thai – Price: $ Cheap |
There are two restaurants called No.6, and they are sisters. The original one, simply called No6, is in the very centre of Patong. The second one is named ‘Number 6 up the hill’ and is, as the names imply, on the south hill of Patong. The original one is a bit of a social phenomenon and a fun proof of the belief that ‘if there is a queue, it must be delicious’. So we queued (when the queue wasn’t too long) and had a try. The food is not bad, but the atmosphere and service are nonexistent. You will sit shoulder to shoulder with your neighbour, and the staff have no time to be nice to you. So, you’d better take advantage of their free shuttle and get a fun ride up the hill. You will get a better view and a better seat. Read more
