Lara MWhat’s the best name for a Thai restaurant that you have seen?

I came across this quote on Buzz - (discussing Thai takeaway shops) -
"Why aren't there any Thai shops called - 'Thai me kangaroo down' or 'Spare Thai-er' or 'Thai-phoon' or 'Thai-rant' or 'Thairanosaurus'??"
Really Long Link
There's a Thai restaurant on Oxford Street is called ‘Thai Me Up’ which I thought was quite appropriate. And there is indeed a joint called ‘Thairanosaurus’, in Riverwood I think. There are several Thairiffics.
There is an unspoken rule that Thai restaurants are obligated to brainstorm some sort of dodgy pun to name their restaurant. Yet it is only on occasion that you do see a really good one, either because its funny or clever, or because its just so cringe-worthy that it somehow circles back to good again.
What’s the best name for a Thai restaurant that you have seen? Or could think of?
