Places Around Maastricht: Thai Take-Away

Type of Place: Take-away Restaurant
Location: Koningin Emma Plein 11; 6214 AB Maastricht
Website

Located on the Koningin Emma Plein roundabout in the shadow of the St. Lambert church is one of my favorite take-away restaurants in Maastricht. Thai Take-Away is a unpretenious take-away restaurant with a few eat-in seats and a prominent counter. The open kitchen is visible in the back and always busy and steamy.

If you live near Koningin Emma Plein and the Rechtsbank (Judicial building), like I do, Thai Take-Away has several things going for it:

1. Nearby. So nearby in fact that we eat take out from them at least 3 times a month; usually more. The guy at the counter knows us on sight by now.
2. Good Prices. Enough Pad Thai for two people for 13 euros is nothing to shake a stick at.
3. Great food. Its not the best thai food I’ve had in Maastricht, but it is very good and always ready quickly. I enjoy the Pad Thai, and am particularly partial to the Phad Woen Sen which comes with glass noodles and shrimp.
4. Students. This isn’t always a plus (sorry guys), but in this case there is an international dormitory in the area. Thai Take-Away caters to them by having a bilingual (trilingual?) menu.
5. Ben & Jerry’s.

Thai Take-Away is open 7 days a week from 4 to 10 PM. You can order at the counter or call ahead and pick-up your meal. You must bring cash since they don’t have a credit card or PIN machine.

Does this Theme Make my Sidebar Look Fat?

One month shy of Maastricht Minutiae’s anniversary, I’m proud to announce a significant upgrade to the website. After ages of work and flip-flopping between themes, I’ve moved us over to our very own hosting, which allows me a lot more flexibility. Check out a few of the new features:

Fresh Design

You have the brilliant designer at Elegant Themes to thank for this attractive and functional WordPress site design. I just added the Maastricht shield to the corner. This site should make featured articles and categories more accessible to you. If you’re looking for a place to eat, all you have to do is open the “Places Around Maastricht” category and click “Restaurants”. Want to search? The box is right there front and center for you.

And don’t forget to click the numbers on the big featured box to see what articles are being featured this week.

Fresh Content

After about a year of stumbling through living in Maastricht, its time to look back and write some serious series about expat red tape and resources. We’re still stumbling through, but with a bit more knowledge than we had before. Watch for new series about Knowledge Workers, Language Classes, Transportation, and More.

Reorganized Resources Page

I’ve completely reorganized my resources page and made it browsable by heading. Better yet, if you want to be included in this directory you can add your information for free. I’ll review each submission and add those that I consider relevant and valuable.
