Thimphu has a few Thai restaurants but there are two establishments that have been given good reviews for its fresh ingredients and authentic taste. Baan Thai is located at the top floor Karma Place that’s located at the heart of Thimphu. The cook is a native of Chiang Mai, so it’s no wonder that the food is truly cooked the traditional Thai way.
