Only dropped in for some takeway. Had to wait to be served as there was a queue of people wanting to get in. My order took less than 10 minutes to prepare. I thought it was a bit pricey until a realised the quantity that was involved!

Never had a bad meal at these restaurants. They have a few over the Gold Coast, all good. Girls wear traditional costumes, and the decor is typical Thai.

Have been eating at Chiang Mai for the past 4 years & have never had a bad meal or experience. The staff are great, the food even better & I love the decor! Both the surfers & Broadbeach locations are fantastic!

If you like Thai food, this is the place to go. They allow BYO and the food here is amazing. It is on the higher end but worth every cent.

There is a lovely ambience in most of this restaurant with its statues and carved chairs but we were disappointed to be led past the beautiful elephant chairs to be jammed in a tight corner out on what appeared to be a fairly plain closed in verandah *sigh no fancy chairs out here. They use authentic crockery and bronze cutlery... More
