Thai's Smile Restaurant

674 Christchurch Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth. Tel: 01202 720 088.

This Thai restaurant in Boscombe, opposite the Whetherspoons pub has the best green curry in Bournemouth and Pad Thai noodles. It just seems that their medium dishes have just the right chilli kick for me. There is this noodle dish with green beans and Thai basil with chilli which is spot on.

If it wasn't for the fact that I tend to get pretty wasted on wine either before I get there or whilst there, I would be much more of a regular.

Definitely a big fan of this place. It always seems not too busy when we are there but I think it deserves more custom, so get yourself there! It may be due to the fact that it is hidden behind a bus stop.

We took some of our friends there recently and one has never had Thai. She didn't know what to expect but thoroughly loved it.

GO THERE!

I went there for my birthday meal in April 2006 and they even gave me a nice M&S table lamp. I don't remember being served by that waiter before so it was more of a nice touch to receive a gift.

I really do think this is the best Thai restaurant in the Bournemouth and Dorset area.

UPDATE - The bus stop is no longer there. Hopefully more people will see it and try it.

Since a self-imposed ban from the last time I went in 2006 when I had a bit too much beer and wine one evening there I had tried so many other places in Bournemouth and found that none have come close and some have frankly been very very disappointing. I have to get over my shame and just go back. I might have to pretend I am someone else.
