Is Thai Food Always Spicy? Not at Thong Thai Bistro.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Thai food is that every dish is extremely spicy.
While Southern Thai cuisine is famous for its bold flavours and aromatic chillies, authentic Thai cooking is about balance, not simply heat. Sweet, sour, salty, savoury and spicy flavours work together to create every dish.
At Thong Thai Bistro, we believe every guest should enjoy authentic Thai food at a spice level that suits their own taste.
That’s why most of our dishes can be customised using four simple spice levels.
🌶️ Bare Minimum
Perfect for children, diners who don’t usually eat chilli, or anyone trying authentic Thai food for the first time.
🌶️🌶️ Less Spicy
A gentle level of heat that allows you to enjoy the herbs, spices and fresh ingredients without overwhelming your palate.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ Regular Spicy
Our recommended level for guests who want to experience authentic Southern Thai flavours as they are traditionally enjoyed.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Extra Spicy
Designed for serious chilli lovers who enjoy the bold, fiery flavours that Southern Thailand is famous for.
Every dish is still prepared fresh to order by Chef June using authentic family recipes, fresh vegetables delivered daily, carefully selected seafood, and quality ingredients sourced from Thailand whenever required.
Whether you’re dining with children, vegetarian guests, first-time visitors, or dedicated chilli enthusiasts, everyone can enjoy the same authentic Southern Thai cuisine prepared to their preferred spice level. We do the same for vegetarians dishes.
Because at Thong Thai Bistro, the flavour stays authentic—the spice is your choice.
