Thai Moon is celebrated for its authentic and delicious Thai cuisine, with many praising the fresh ingredients and well-prepared dishes. Diners consistently highlight the breathtaking sea views and the cozy, museum-like ambiance.

Kevin Chen
"Disappointed my starter the Ribs were OK, but my main Massaman beef curry, was watery with very little beef, the sticky rice was a lump of rice served in a bamboo case, but also wrapped in cling film, had obviously been over done in the microwave. Service poor, the 2 waitresses didn't seem to have a clue, even though we were the only customers a table of 8, the waitresses missed orders for starter. The mains were served as soon as starters were finished, even though one of our party was still eating the starter that was missed."
