About Us
Welcome to Weera Thai Restaurant in Las Vegas, where our family’s journey from the kitchens of Thailand to the heart of Las Vegas brings the authentic flavors of our heritage to your table. Our roots run deep in Isaan, the culturally rich Northeastern region of Thailand. Growing up, our family shared a love of cooking, with many joyful hours spent crafting traditional dishes together. This passion led our father, Suweera Thonguthaisiri and mother, Sutsawat Promkul to open our first restaurant in Chiang Mai over 40 years ago. Known as Weera Larb Ped, it quickly became beloved for our signature “Larb Duck” (a flavorful blend of ground duck with herbs, lime and chili) and offered Chiang Mai a taste of true Isaan cooking.
In 2010, our family ventured to Las Vegas to bring the flavors we love to a new audience. Led by Peter Thonguthaisiri and his father, Weera Thai was born — a place where the vibrant, authentic taste of Thailand is celebrated daily. With 4 locations across Las Vegas - Sahara Avenue, Chinatown, Rainbow Blvd, and Town square. Weera Thai has become a favorite destination for those seeking an unforgettable Thai dining experience.

WHAT ELSE DID WEERA THAI BRING BACK FROM THAILAND?
Could it be the memories of the city's much lauded playground of taste the street food – complete with wobbly red and blue plastic stools and wok-tossing cooks with charcoal-quelled flame?
Thai street food lifestyle is the taste of modern contradictions & chili fish sauce, the city of creative chaos where east meets west, traditional meets international. street meets couture, all fused together in a beautiful chaotic way.

"We are originally from Isaan,
the northeast of Thailand."
We are a family that likes to cook and spend most of our family time together in the kitchen. When we moved to Chiang Mai forty years ago, our father, Suweera Thongthaisiri along with my mother Sutsawat Promkul, decided to open a classic Isaan restaurant. So that the people of Chiang Mai can enjoy authentic tastes from our region." Weera Thai–Larb Ped was established in 1976 and still counting in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
We were known for Larb Duck. Which is ground boneless duck with spices, herbs, lime juice and chili. This is how we named our very first establishment as "Weera Larb Ped." In the year of 2010, Peter Thonguthaisiri and father, Suweera Thonguthaisiri, branched out here in Las Vegas, Nevada and renamed it to become more moderated as "Weera Thai Restaurant."
