As regular readers will know, our beloved local Thai closed down a few years ago and we have been struggling to find one to replace it. While we were still in mourning at its passing, Ton Nam had the audacity to open up in the same premises. Our beloved local that was now...some other thai. How dare they!
Anyway, after a couple of years looking at every other Thai place in the area and being disappointed, we finally overcame our prejudice and went in. We went in expecting it to be nowhere near as good as the place it replaced. We were wrong. It was really good. We tried all our usual tests of a Thai place - Massaman and pad Thai and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were super friendly and threw in a free drink and dessert. The prices were good. Much cheaper than most of the other places we had tried.
It seems our replacement local that was waiting for us all along in exactly the same place as our old one. read more
