I’ve heard of a Thai area with restaurants near the end of the blue MRT line. Since Dingpu MRT opened, I’m wondering how close the Thai restaurants are to Dingpu MRT. Can you walk or do you need to take a taxi?
No more than a 10 minute walk if I recall. It’s more Burmese than Thai. Great food.

There’s a Burmese area near the end of the orange line (Nanshijiao). What’s this Thai area being discussed? I’d love to visit.
I read about it here
If anyone is interested, I found an area with some authentic Thai restaurants as well as some Thai markets. Here it is on google maps: maps.google.com/maps?q=24.96514 … 1&t=m&z=19
It’s in an industrial park about a 5-10 minute cab ride from Yongning station (on a side note, if you just want Thai cooking supplies there is a SE Asian market right outside of exit 1 on the left hand side). I got in a cab and said “Tai guo dian” (泰國店 I think) and he understood and took me there. Alternatively, I’m s…
If it’s 10 minutes from the MRT now, I’ll finally have to check it out.

I think we are talking about different places, sorry. I am talking about the same place as Chris, Huaxin Street near Nanshijiao.

Looks pretty close on the map, will have to head over there.

you’ve peaked my interest. Didn’t know there was a Burmese area. Probably need to check that out too.
Any Thai discos/bars in the area?

So did anybody go check out that Thai area? I’m the one who originally posted about it here: viewtopic.php?f=98&t=123352
It’s nowhere near as big as the Burmese area on Huaxin street, but it is the biggest congregation of Thai shops/restaurants I’ve seen in Taiwan. I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea though, it’s probably only 4 - 5 businesses total.
