For authentic and affordable Thai food, Golden Mile Complex is THE place to visit. After all, the place is known as ‘Little Thailand’ and is a renowned enclave for the Thai nationals in Singapore. While it isn’t the newest mall in town, there’s an abundance of Golden Mile Thai food eateries to discover, ranging from traditional Thai restaurants to the ever popular Golden Mile Mookata experience. Having been there many times for our Thai food fix, let us share with you the Golden Mile Thai food outlets you absolutely must eat at.
Even though BeerThai House Restaurant is hidden behind a row of shops in Golden Mile Complex, you’ll notice that the place always attracts a crowd. And you’ll understand why after trying it out! Their authentic Golden Mile Thai food dishes are fragrant and full of wok hei flavour. We particularly like their Phad Thai, Green Curry and Omelette ($8)! If you’re planning to come here on the weekends, be sure to come early to secure a table.

This unassuming Golden Mile Thai food eatery can be found along the exterior of Golden Mile Complex, facing the main road.

The best part is that most dishes are affordably priced at less than $10 so you can order multiple dishes without feeling the pinch.
