Pattaya Thai Restaurant

Pattaya Thai is tucked up a flight of stairs on Elgin's High Street, a discreet location that rewards the effort of finding it. The kitchen has earned a 4.3 out of 5 rating from over 570 reviews on Restaurant Guru, with particular praise for the fragrant Thai green curry, a pad Thai that regulars describe as authentic, and a tom yum soup made from scratch with no short cuts. Customers who travel regularly to Thailand consider the food genuinely close to the source — fresh and well-balanced, not sweetened for a cautious audience. Elgin is the Moray capital, flanked by the ruins of its great medieval cathedral, and Pattaya is well established as the city's finest Thai option. Booking for the small dine-in room is strongly advisable at weekends.
