One of my favourite cheap thai restaurants is Doytao as I like to be lazy and call it “Daytona thai” LOL. sad but everyone knows what i’m on about. They have a number of thai branches around sydney (Sutherland, Balmain, Glebe, Surry hills, Drummoyne and Newtown (i usually go to these 2 branches).

Food is ridiculously cheap! had various family get together and birthday dinners at this place and for about 12 people its cost about $250 for 12 dishes or more! (no shiet). I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu so i can recommend heaps of dishes i think is chomp worthy.

In the past i never thought to take photos of all the dishes (yes im kicking myself once again). but I thought i’d share this place with you all as it is a great eat for a cheap price. This weekend went here for a quick thai fix (nothing fancy) after a hard days worth of boot-camp fitness and cycling the last thing you need is a comforting meal.
