I really enjoyed my experience here. I have been trying a few various Thai restaurants throughout Calgary, and I feel this place has taken my #1 spot so far. There was a nice variety on the menu. I had the Panang curry with coconut rice. It was delicious! I will be back again to try more options. The staff was very friendly, and the bathrooms were super clean!

I've always enjoyed this restaurant. It has Thai decorations, but not over the top, and lots of humorous sayings on plaques to keep us amused. The owners seem to have a sense of humour and aren't afraid to be unique, which is a nice change in this day and age. The service and food has always been good in the past and was again this time too.
A friend and I met here, ordered the Papaya Salad with medium spice, the Lemon Chicken appetizer and the Swimming Rama (who could resist a name like that!) with coconut rice.
It was lovely to have a gluten-free "breaded" item but it didn't quite live up to my expectations, it was a bit past crunchy and more into just hard. It was fine when I dipped it into the peanut sauce that was part of the Swimming Rama though. And I did quite like the lemon sauce so not all was lost.
The Papaya salad was something I've not had before, I enjoyed it, but can't say if it was the way it was supposed to be or not really.
For dessert we each had the Mango/coconut rice and it was just fine.
We managed a couple of pots of Thai tea as well. It was an herbal tea, naturally sweet, with a subtle flavour of its own. You can buy boxes of it to take home, which I might just do next time I want to add to my tea collection.
It looks like they have a buffet option as well, but I didn't pay attention to it as buffets are generally a mine field for gf folk.
I have to remember to pop in for lunch more often when I am doing business at this end of the city, the parking is free, the prices are reasonable, the food tasty and the service quick. :-)
Thai Boat is an excellent choice. The restaurant is pretty basic and the dishes are fairly standard Thai, but the flavours are excellent. Highly recommended.
