The Thai Ochid closed down about six months ago to the disbelief of some people in Abingdon. Perhaps running the restaurant and Thai Supermarket was a step too far. But now a new Thai Restaurant has opened at the same location – redecorated and completely refurnished. I haven’t been in yet but their website and facebook page look good, as do their takeaway menus.
One of the best Thai restaurants here in Portland (Oregon) is Chaba Thai! Perhaps they could become “twinned” restaurants!
Tony, an excellent idea. I notice there are a few Chaba Thai restaurants in the States. OP – I heard the same that the supermarket was a millstone and precipitated the closure. We opened last Thursday and just need to get advertising up and running and get the ‘foot fall’ so any blogging sites mentioning us are greatly appreciated. Hopefully some folk can appraise our chef’s dishes on here..

Chaba Thai
My wife and I went to Chaba Thai on their opening night, we enjoyed it so much we were back there the following night collecting a takeaway. The food is very very good, some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten!!!!
The high street is coming back . great to see business opening as the high street has looked empty for some time .
Good luck to the Chaba Thai!
Three of us went on Saturday night and enjoyed a splendid meal. Lovely people – good luck with the business.
