About Chaopraya Thai Restaurant (Surfers Paradise)

Perched beside the Q1 tower, this unpretentious Surfers Paradise kitchen turns out punchy, homestyle Thai cooking built on real heat and balanced aromatics. Regulars head straight for the duck Penang curry and smoky Pad Kee Mao—dishes cooked fast and packed with fresh chillies and holy basil. There is zero fuss on the floor. Grab takeaway or grab a seat on the breezy terrace, where pet owners are welcome to settle in with their dogs. With a strict BYO policy and zero corkage fees, you bring your own cold beer and let curries simmer over glowing tea lights at the table.

  • BYO with Free Corkage: Guests can bring their own wine or beer with no corkage surcharge to pair with curries and stir-fries.
  • Pet-Friendly Patio: Outdoor terrace seating accommodates dogs with water bowls provided by the staff.
  • Tea Light Curry Warmers: Clay pot and bowl curry servings arrive over glowing tea lights to preserve heat throughout the meal.
