One of the reasons that we love to travel is for the food. We love to try new foods and experience different flavors. Living in South Georgia, these experiences can sometimes be difficult to come by without traveling. One exception to that is Coconut Thai Cuisine in Statesboro Georgia. When we first heard about the restaurant a couple of years ago, we were skeptical to say the least. Authentic Thai food in a small town in South Georgia? We are glad we gave it a try, because it has become one of our family favorites!
Location
Coconut Thai Cuisine is located at 7 College Plaza. Across the street from Georgia Southern University and just minutes from Historic Downtown.
The Food at Coconut Thai
The food is flavorsome and interesting. If you’re not familiar with Thai cuisine, as your server what they recommend. Don’t be mislead to think that all Thai food is spicy. It is true, some Thai food can bring out sweat beads on your forehead. But here at Coconut Thai, you can choose the amount of heat in each and every dish. And for those very brave souls, there is a Thai hot selection that I recommend!
Dessert
Follow Coconut Thai Cuisine on Facebook. If you see a post announcing that the Fuji apples are in, go immediately and order the Fuji apple dessert. This dessert is one of my absolute favorites, but it is seasonal, so you have to be quick! They never last long.

Decor
The atmosphere is very cozy and laid back. The dining room is decorated with beautiful old picture frames and interesting light fixtures. The lighting is low, which would make it a great date night destination.
The Service at Coconut Thai Cuisine
On our first visit we met Amy (owner and chef). It was obvious that she was as authentic as her food. She makes each and every patron feel at home, and you can rest assured that the same care and concern that goes into each of her dishes is also put into every person that walks through the door.
Greeting customers, welcoming them, and checking on their satisfaction during the meal shows how important your dining experience is to Chef Amy. We began talking to her and getting to know her on that very first visit and it continues to this day. We now go to Coconuts not only for the food, but also for the friendship.

This place sounds yummy! I finally tried Thai food about 3 years ago and now I’m hooked – I think I either make it or order it at least once a week now
Putting this place on my list for our next visit to Georgia!
Wow, what a cute restaurant and the food looks delish! I love Thai too and it’s great that you found such a wonderful spot! If we ever make it through the area, will certainly check it out. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Never eat that kind of food. It is spicy?
Thai food can be very spicy, but it’s optional! You choose the dish and then choose the amount of spice (or no spice at all).
We will be traveling through Georgia this summer. I will have to check if we will be near here so we can try it.
