Benefit dinner raises record amount for charity

Posted by Geeky Swedes on August 17th, 2009

Thai Siam held its 22nd annual benefit dinner on Sunday and raised a record amount for charity. With nearly 900 guests, people donated more than $27,000, “which is another record-breaker for us,” the owner tells us. This raises the grand total to more than $237,000 donated since they started holding this benefit. This year, proceeds go toward the Union Gospel Mission in Seattle, Neighborcare Health Medical Centers, and the School for Crippled and Blind Children in Thailand. “Now I can get a good night sleep,” the owner says. (Disclosure: Thai Siam is a sponsor of MyBallard.)

    Phad Thai, tofu, 2 stars. That's all I can say. These guys make good Thai food and are such good people. I actually had to cut back on my visits when they would recognize me via the phone and my standard order.

    Best Thai food in Seattle by far!

    I highly recommend the chiang mai noodles (only on the dinner menu, but you can order them for lunch, too).

    Fantastic! And nice to have some good news today. Thai Siam gets to fulfill my Thai craving next time too.
