Frommer's Highly Recommended

In the Rice Village there are three commendable Thai restaurants, each with its own loyal following. Of these, Thai Spice gets the nod, mostly because the service is friendlier and the dining area is roomier, more attractive, and better furnished, but also because the food is a particularly appealing interpretation of Thai that doesn't burn out your taste buds. The lunch buffet is worthy of special note for being more complete than in most other places. The dinner menu is well laid out and doesn't try to confuse you with options by listing the same basic dish four times. The spicy shrimp soup is good, and the Summer Palace is a great spicy option for a stir-fry. There are also several mild dishes, including a wonderfully simple grilled lemon grass chicken breast. All of the curries are worth ordering, and the pad Thai is excellent.
