A new resto-bar serving up high-end Thai-Vietnamese dishes for the discerning pallet. The interior design, crafted by the same owner as The Lost Art, will also sway heads with its 1930's Shanghai theme.

Mai Thai

Tel: 3821 2920
Pleasant décor and authentic Thai cuisine in an attractive, themed setting. Does the full range of Thai dishes using imported ingredients and is known for serving its cuisine up spicy, a welcome change from other similar restaurants which cook the same dishes but without the kick.

Sawasdee
