About Chiangmai Thai Restaurant

Step off Palm Avenue into a richly carved enclave lined with wooden elephant chairs, water fountains, and staff in traditional attire. Gold Coast diners head here when looking for serious Thai comfort food without cutting corners on heat. The kitchen happily turns up the wok fire on request—delivering genuine som tam e-san bite and chef-level chili heat alongside fragrant bowls of coconut rice. Generous plates of crispy BBQ duck with plum sauce and steaming stir-fries arrive fast at private hut tables, surrounded by running water and ornate woodwork.

  • Carved woodwork and themed huts: Dine among hand-carved solid wood elephant chairs, ornate sculptures, and private thatched huts set beside trickling water features.
  • Custom heat levels: Kitchen cooks accommodate custom spice requests up to authentic chef-hot heat levels across classic curries and stir-fries.
  • Celebratory group dining: Large-format sharing plates and attentive service make it an easy pick for family celebrations and birthday groups.

  • Satay Chicken

    Satay chicken was so familiar, but so authentic. Not just a peanut butter sauce smothering the chicken, every single spice in this dish shone through.

  • Green Curry

    The green curry (with pork just to change it up) was a delightful dish. Aromatic, full of flavour, and just hot enough to make you remember the last trip to Thailand.
