Siam Thai Restaurant
Seafood is the reason to come, and the reason people keep coming back. It's kept alive until you order, so you're choosing your own crab or squid rather than trusting whatever came off a truck that morning. A mid-sized lobster runs around 1,000 baht, which is fair for this stretch of Patong. The mantis shrimp are less of a bargain at four for 800 baht, so order those only if you really want them.
Beyond the tanks, the kitchen handles Thai standards properly. Papaya salad, chicken satay with thick pieces of meat, kra pao that tastes like it was cooked for someone who eats it every week. Butter-fried crab and black pepper crab both come up again and again in reviews. Get a Thai iced tea with it. Portions run generous, so don't over-order on your first pass. One diner did mention lobster arriving a bit dry, which is the risk with grilling shellfish, though it's not a common complaint.

Culinary Highlights: The seafood here is incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. We indulged in several dishes, but the stars were the grilled lobster (which looked stunning, as pictured!), the succulent grilled squid, and the flavorful black pepper crab. Every dish was packed with authentic Thai flavors. A special shout-out must go to the Thai Milk Tea—it was truly awesome! Perfectly creamy, sweet, and refreshing, it was the ideal accompaniment to the meal. Service & Ambiance: The service was tip-top from start to finish. The staff were attentive, friendly, and clearly dedicated to ensuring a great dining experience. It's rare to find such high-quality hospitality. The ambiance is wonderfully family-oriented, making it a comfortable and welcoming place for everyone. If you're looking for an excellent, authentic Thai seafood experience in Patong Phuket with fantastic service, look no further than Siam Thai Restaurant. Highly recommended! - Singapore Family 🇸🇬♥️
Lobster is good and inexpensive if compared with other restaurants (1 middle size for 1000 baht). On the other side, mantis shrimp are a bit expensive (4 = 800 baht). All seafood is alive at moment of choice, so you can be sure you will eat very fresh food. Everything we have try was very tasty and well cooked. Papaya salad and fried rice with seafood among the best I have ever eaten in Thailand. Highly recommended.
Great great restaurant close to Patong beach. Amazing Thai iced tea, super fresh seafood. Their butter fried crab was to die for, best crab I’ve had in years and amazing service.

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.
