I didn’t expect to find a Thai bistro hidden along the northern coast! Kin Kao Mai is right by the sea, and dining with the ocean breeze, a sea view, and good food instantly puts you in a relaxed mood. The atmosphere is absolutely on point. They specialize in Thai cuisine, with classics like pineapple fried rice and tom yum soup. The flavors are perfectly balanced—sour and spicy in a very appetizing way, with rich layers of spices. The tom yum soup, served hot, was especially comforting to enjoy by the seaside. A really pleasant and memorable dining experience.
A hidden gem up north! I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this Thai bistro. The location is fantastic, right by the sea, with a refreshing breeze and a view of Malaysia across the water. The food was delicious: we had Pad Thai, Thai Basil Rice, pork skewers, and stir-fried kai lan. Everything was flavorful and reasonably priced. Would recommend this spot, and parking is free just opposite the yacht club!
The food was quite mediocre, but the service was attentive, warm, and welcoming. The fried kangkong was good and loved by my children, resembling fries. The fish was okay but required waiting for the fire to heat up properly. I felt that the Tom Yum lacked flavor, being too watery, and I didn’t enjoy the jowl, as it wasn’t to my taste.
We had a nice dining experience at Kin Kao Mai. The highlight for us was definitely the steamed sea bass with lime and garlic – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The seafood salad and Thai-style grilled beef were also good, though the fish stood out as the star dish. We paired our meal with gin & tonic, but do note that happy hour ends at 8:00 pm, so it’s best to come earlier if you want to enjoy the drinks at promo price. Our total came to about $125.90 for food and drinks, including service charge and GST. Overall, a pleasant experience with good Thai flavors in a relaxing yacht club setting.
Food was yummy... price was good and I will definitely be back. Pork knuckle was damn good. Portions are good. Getting there is a bit out of the way but views are good. Actually felt like being in Phuket. Worth it.
