Guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Another persson from the Tampa bay area, interesting... I am from Clearwater and would agree that most of our Thai restaurants are definetely oriented toward local cuisine rather than being authentic Thai food. There is one restaurant however, Pattaya Thai in Clearwater that does have great thai food, closest I have had to actual Thai Cuisine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted February 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Wow too scary. I'm about 20 minutes from you. Looks like we have a few TB folks on the board. Where is Pattaya Thai? Chiang Mai is near Ft. Harrison and Cleveland near Steinmart. Also Thai Coconut is on the Clearwater/Largo line. Then there is Sukhothai where I've never eaten. That's near Countryside Mall. On an unrelated note, I just received my NFL films Superbowl DVD. All I can say is sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 SS, my wife and i enjoy Keo's Thai Cuisine in Honolulu. We enjoyed the one on Kapahulu Ave. in Kaimuki. Now when we visit Honolulu, we go to the one on King Street. It's something we always look forward to (since we are from the outer islands), been doing it for over 15 years. I use to eat Keo's cooking when i was going to UH when he ran the East West Center cafe over 20 years ago. Maybe i'm hooked on the flavor of his cooking, but i always enjoyed. Lived in NYC, couldn't find a decent thai restaurant in that whole town. Anyway, still can't beat eating thai food in LOS. That stuff just 'floors' me, it's just as good as the 'punani' if not better, at least 'da kine' don't talk back to you.......chok dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Sorry, 69. I have to say that my Thai wife and I found Keo's extremely bland and flavorless, so much so that admittedly we never went back a second time, but our Thai friends there also did not like it. P.S.: We're both UH graduates ourselves (and the wife was an East West Center scholar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Pattaya Thai is on Gulf to bay (SR 60) just east of 19 in the plaza next to hooters, it is good. I also got my superbowl DVD and yes it is sooo sweet, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted February 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 The only thing that pisses me off about the Superbowl DVD is that they butchered the game itself. I wish they could have included the entire game including pauses. The plays they cut may have been insignificant to them but it makes that part of the DVD less enjoyable. BTW, my wife and I are buying a Thai restaurant in East Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogul Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 i have to agree with siam sam that keo's is not good. overpriced for below-average food. can get good som tom (lao style) in maunakea market at vientianne. actually, most thai restaurants in honolulu are run by laotians.
