7 Budget-Friendly Thai Food in Melbourne
Discover 7 spots for affordable Thai food in Melbourne CBD, from $12 noodle boxes to student-friendly curries and one BBQ splurge worth saving for.

Hi, I’m Wendy Dam,
I’m a uni student in Melbourne who treats the city like one big ongoing food map. I love finding affordable meals, cute cafés, and drink spots worth photographing, then sharing them in a way that feels honest and helpful. I’m especially drawn to hidden gems and budget-friendly places that still feel special, whether it’s a late-night bowl of noodles or a cosy weekend café.
As a Vietnamese girl who grew up in an Asian culture, I’ve also come to care a lot about wellbeing in a bigger sense not just fitness or “eating clean,” but mental health too. I’m interested in the small, realistic ways we can take care of ourselves in busy city life: moving our bodies without pressure, eating food that comforts us, and building routines that feel sustainable rather than extreme. If you’re here for good food, pretty little moments, and gentle reminders to look after yourself along the way, you’re in the right place.
