Since year 2009 Thai food can be found in Ljubljana. Today is so populard you can find Pad Thai in places like brewery/beer garden Kratochwill. But here we focus on listing restaurants that specialize in Thai cuisine. Also some background is writen here as I had chance to see it.

Roza slon (2009/2016)
This is successor restaurant from Tha Inn. And today it has longest tradition and all of restaurants that serve just Thai food today has some kind of connection with them (worked here, learned to cook, to manage restaurant, ….). Today, in Ljubljana, Roza slon has locations in city Center by railway station, Bežigrad by Mercator building, Vič on Tržaška street, BTC close to gas station and Odprta kuhinja on Pogačar square. Also in Radovljica they opened their first franchise.
Menu with recepies was prepared by Thai chef, they try to import as much as possible ingredients from Thailand, half of employees are from Thailand. Their style is street food, crazy interior, … So they are authentic as one can be 8500 km away. Their most sold item is probably Pad Thai (to sweet, tomatoe taste), but I would suggest to you Pad Kee Mao (my experience).
On Thai (2015)
Chef E with his wife Miji opened this place. Both of them where before in Thai Inn, E is also part of Roza slon. Today they have 3 locations, Center, Rudnik, Šiška. I still go for Pad Kee Mao (my experience).
Thai Zone (2022)
Opened by Oy and Aleš. They also started in Thai Inn, moved to Kratochwill before opening their own place after COVID in Plava laguna (my experience).
THAInita (2025)
This is last addition to Thai restaurants. Thanita was also part of Thai Inn and Roza slon crew. Today she has her place at Zlena jama (my experience).
