Thai Corner

You're walking down West Street towards the town centre and Thai Corner slots in quietly among the usual high street suspects. Nothing fancy about the frontage, but that's precisely the point—this is the kind of place locals keep coming back to because the food actually tastes like someone knows what they're doing. The kitchen takes their curries seriously, the som tam has proper heat if you ask for it, and they're not afraid to use proper fish sauce. It's comfortable rather than Instagram-worthy, the sort of spot where you can happily eat alone at the counter or squeeze round a table with mates.
