A
Bangkok Restaurant
With the best Thai food in Lagos, the Bangkok is a treat. The cooks and waitresses are all Thai, and offer you a broad menu of fragrantly spiced dishes. Portions are very generous, and if you can't finish your meal, they're used to sending people home with a doggie bag.

Lotus Thai
The lotus-themed interior of this Thai restaurant is striking – black enamel walls are etched with white lotus motifs, there are large green-and-white lotus prints on the walls, and the black chairs have lotus-print cushions. In the centre of the restaurant is a large raised circular sushi bar with glass lily pads suspended above it. Outside you can dine in private pagodas. It’s not all about the flash design though; the food is fresh, authentic and delicious.

Jardin Thaïlandais
There's no better Thai, perhaps no better Asian food altogether, in the whole of Senegal than that served at this pretty place in Point E. Prices are a bit steep, but every bite is worth it.

Xhova's Inter-Thai Restaurant
Temporarily closed for annual vacation when we passed through, but the Thai cuisine is rumoured to be delicious.

Siam Thai
This attractive restaurant has an extensive menu of actual Thai food (gasp!) and a very good reputation. Unga House can be reached from either Woodvale Grove or Muthithi Rd.

Krua Thai
If you are after the taste of Thailand, Krua Thai is an authentic family-run restaurant up in the popular Kololo area of the city. The menu includes all the familiar greatest hits, including pad Thai, laab and tôm yam kung, as well as some regional specialities. Those used to dining in Thailand might want to ask staff to up the chilli count, as they tone down the spices on most dishes.

Bird Cage
Spicy means spicy at Cairo’s best Thai restaurant, a soothing, wood-panelled space that’s a favourite with wealthy Cairenes. Standards such as fish cakes and grilled beef salad are delicious and beautifully presented, as are more nouvelle offerings like pla pow (sea bass wrapped in banana leaves).

Thai Foon
Newly opened in 2006 by the original team behind Pereybère's Wang Thai, authenticity is the watchword at Thai Foon. This means fresh ingredients imported from Bangkok, a Thai chef and some excellent Thai cocktails. The eating space is stylish but relaxed, with outside seating available.

Kitima
The Kronendal, a Cape Dutch farmhouse with parts dating back to 1713, has been sensitively restored to house this excellent Thai restaurant. Smiling Thai staff and chefs ensure that dishes such as pad thai gai are not mucked up. The Sunday buffet lunch (R165) is great value.

Bangkok Thai Restaurant
A recent addition to the Monrovia restaurant scene, with a large selection of Thai dishes, plus a separate vegetarian menu. Outdoor seating is best if you want to get away from the blaring TV.

Soukhothai
Craving a pad thai? It's only around CFA6000 away. You won't find more authentic Thai cuisine in Africa, and expats swear by this place as one of Bamako's best restaurants.

Sabai Sabai
Even if you’re not craving Thai food, you might want to visit this mellow little restaurant for its quiet outdoor terrace. Salads and appetisers have all the requisite lemon grass and herbs, and the curries have just the right balance between searing heat and rich flavour. Taxi drivers may know the street by its old name, Sharia Maahad al-Swissry.
