About Us
Southern Thai dining room on Flinders Lane between Swanston and Elizabeth streets, opened in 2023 by Chumphon-born Boonruxsa Sangmanee (Milky) and Masarat Bumrungpongsinchai (Hally) — the same duo behind Pinto Thai Food (Broadsheet; Seasoned Traveller). The pair serve Phuket and southern plates alongside familiar pad thai and tom yum in a converted pub with Sino-Portuguese cobalt-blue walls, vintage crockery and roughly forty seats across two levels (Broadsheet; Urban List; Australian Sightseer). Dine-in ordering runs via table QR codes (Seasoned Traveller). Press and listings highlight gorlae grilled chicken with southern curry sauce, hor mok curried fish custard in clay, gaeng tai pla, jungle curry with capelin, whole deep-fried mackerel, and Melbourne-style fried chicken on tom yum (Broadsheet; Time Out; Wanderlog). No live owned Australian website — patongthairestaurant.com.au is parked (May 2026); @patong_melbourne on Instagram is the venue’s primary web surface and OpenTable links the same handle.
