In 2008, Samrit and Ailyn Ounyoung celebrated the grand opening of their restaurant at the intersection of Henry Street and Kuakini Highway. It was Samrit's refined palate and nostalgia for his home country of Thailand that started the idea – he hadn't been able to find cuisine spiced and cooked to his liking. Since then, the Ounyoungs have assembled long-tenured staff that are their extended family, whose dedication and energy has taken the restaurant from its early days into the current year, with plenty of accolades along the way, from community regulars to countless Iron Man Triathletes to Miss Peru Camila Escríbens (a contestant for Miss Universe), Krua Thai has fresh and healthy flavors that delight Thai cuisine connoisseurs.
