Newtown is overflowing with excellent Thai restaurants, and Thai Pothong is indisputably one of the best. Alongside a mixture of traditional and contemporary Thai dishes, they have sizeable gluten-free and vegan menus and an impressively colourful cocktail menu. You can even pick up a souvenir from their gift shop, which also displays a range of huge, eccentric scrap metal replicas of Stormtroopers, Transformers, Aliens and Predators welded from recycled car parts.
