I know for a fact that many of us miss travelling to Thailand due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions, but fret not, as we are able to enjoy authentic Thai food right here in sunny Singapore.
We scoured the entire island, finding a fantastic array of Thai food establishments all around the island and adding them to this list. Whether you’re looking for high-end Thai restaurants or affordable Thai street food, you will find a place on this list that tickles your fancy. Are you ready? Let the hunt for the best Thai food in Singapore begin!
Kra Pow
One of the top places in Singapore for authentic Thai street fare, Kra Pow is hidden in Far East Plaza and you might miss it if you don’t walk further in. Be sure to order their spicy and flavourful Tom Yum Seafood ($7.90), particularly the red broth one. You will find yourself licking the bowl after you’re done! The same goes for the Krapow XL ($14.90), which is basil chicken with egg on rice. Finish off your meal with a refreshing cup of Thai Milk Tea ($3.90) and thank me later.
