$12 Thai New Year Specials at Ging Thai

Overview

Songkran is the national holiday celebrating Thai New Year in mid-April each year. And while you might not be jetting off to Thailand to partake in the 2022 festivities IRL, you can enjoy some Thai New Year fun right here in Melbourne.

Throughout April, buzzy Southbank restaurant Ging Thai is getting into the festive spirit and marking the occasion with a raft of Songkran-inspired food and drink specials.

Head in from 3–5pm every Thursday to Sunday until the end of April, and you can tuck into a range of tasty street food and cocktails for just $12 a pop. The lineup includes snacks like salt and pepper silken tofu, crispy school prawns with lemongrass and curry leaves, and a chicken gai yang salad.

Wash it all down with some punchy $12 cocktails, including a Muay Thai Mule and the Spicy Tom — a fusion of lemongrass, chilli and sparkling wine.
