Bringing you the taste of Thailand

The culinary secrets from the Five Great Siamese Kingdoms are at the heart of Mai Thai's Royal Thai-style cuisine.

Mai Thai has developed the reputation as perhaps the finest Thai Restaurant in New Zealand - a fact recognized by the Thai Embassy when it chose it as the location to host the Thai Prime Minister during the 1999 APEC conference and the numerous awards the restaurant has received.

Mai Thai is one of the largest restaurant of its kind in the country, with a capacity to seat 160 diners.

The popularity of the cuisine has grown because of its complexity and wonderful tastes - hot, sour, salty, sweet and spicy - with the subtle addition of locally ground roots, grasses and aromatic herbs to ease the bite.

Our customers are not the only ones impressed! Mai Thai food has achieved an international recognition of being the very best quality. This high standard was acknowledged by the awarding of Thailand Brand Certificate.

Whatever the occasion, a meal at the Mai Thai makes it special.

Head Chef Mr. Surachai Tullabutr has just joined Mai Thai and is eager to start showing off some of his fantastic skills.

He comes direct from a 10year stay at one of the the most famous restaurant in Bangkok (Chit Pochana)where he first studied his skills and then grew to be head chef.

He has a unique ability to cook in many and varied styles of Thai food for example, his "Gaeng Tai Pla" (a traditional Southern Thailand dish).

The new menus at Mai Thai are definitely a showcase of his fine skills.
