But thankfully Blackpool and the Fylde coast is certainly not bereft of restaurants which either specialise in Thai food or include such dishes on their menus.
There are a variety of eateries on the coast which, in their different ways, offer this vibrant kind of food to customers.
Here are some of them, all of which have been given high ratings on Trip Advisor by a large percentage of customers.’
So, as they say in Thailand, ‘kin hai aroi’ as you tuck into your grub at these places.
