Kamthai Thai Restaurant

You'll find yourself in Station Square, that bit of Whitby that's quietly becoming somewhere worth lingering, and Kamthai sits ready to do something most places round here don't bother with: take Thai food seriously. The kitchen knows what they're doing with heat and balance, whether you're after a delicate tom yum or a curry that actually tastes like it should. The room's unpretentious—no faffing about with decorative nonsense—which means you're here for the food, and that's exactly how it should be. It's the sort of place locals come back to regularly, not because it's fancy, but because it's reliably excellent.
