Baan Thai Seafood Restaurant

4.7(3,354 reviews)

Tucked along Rat-U-Thit Road in the heart of Patong, this seafood restaurant draws a consistent crowd with its commitment to fresh ingredients and genuine Thai cooking. The menu spans classic coastal dishes — mussels, fresh oysters, tom yum, and papaya salad among them — alongside broader options such as Seafood Pad Thai and beef in Thai sweet and sour sauce. Visitors have also noted that staff are willing to prepare off-menu requests, a flexibility that speaks to the hospitality repeat diners tend to appreciate. The atmosphere is relaxed and accessible, attracting a mix of tourists and locals. English-speaking staff make ordering straightforward for international visitors, and pricing is consistently described as affordable relative to the quality and portion sizes on offer. The experience sits comfortably between a casual bite and a proper sit-down meal, making it a practical choice for an evening in Patong regardless of the occasion. Good to know: Specific opening hours are not listed online, so it is worth confirming directly before visiting, particularly during quieter periods of the year. Patong sees significant tourist traffic during peak season, and the restaurant's popularity means tables fill up. Arriving on the earlier side of the dinner window is a sensible approach for those who prefer a more relaxed setting.

Visitor Reviews

I had a wonderful experience here. The Thai and seafood is incredibly fresh and cooked with true Thai flavors. The mussiles was juicy and rich, the Fresh oyster was perfectly seasoned, and the Papaya salad seafood was the highlight — creamy, aromatic, and full of delicious spices. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere make it even better. Definitely coming back!

I highly recommend this restaurant for Thai food. The tom yum was very good, without any twigs. I also found one of my favorite thai dishes here - beef in thai sweet and sour sauce with vegetables and pineapple. You can't find beef anywhere, so I highly recommend everyone try it. The service was perfect, unusually good for Thailand

Food was great and our service was even better! Our waiter went above and beyond to make a special dish for us that was not on the menu. We had a lamb curry dish with garlic and cheese naan. The lamb was super tender and very flavorful. We also got a spicy chicken appetizer which was good too, but the lamb stole the show!

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
