The Thai’s concept spawned from our owner Robert’s travels to Thailand over the last twenty years, training in the country’s national sport, Muay Thai, at a professional level. From that first time he visited, he simply fell in love with the vibrant culture and unforgettable food. This sparked his desire to bring this to Glasgow.
Our menu is a celebration of authentic Thai flavours, expertly crafted by our talented chefs who bring over thirty years of culinary experience to the table. Leading our kitchen is the multi-talented Head Chef Benjawan, a true culinary master whose expertise extends from savoury delights to irresistible sweet creations.
