The Hungry Spirit

Great Thai food in the bush. Very popular.

We got take away. The nicest Thai food we’ve eaten. So yummy. Highly recommended

Awesome authentic Thai food unfortunately due to covid restrictions only takeaway, & delivery service available & @ this time no on-site dining & functions but from feedback from locals a n awesome outback outdoor dining & functions facility..if your a visitor to lightning ridge like myself & you love Thai food then check this place out

Reviewing Charlie’s Camp.This is an authentic outback glamping experience. The tent itself is clean and well-equipped and Michael and Rebel are very welcoming and helpful. Due to the recent floods and the (typical) high summer temperature, there were a lot of mosquitoes. I’m not just saying it - there are actually lots of them. Adding to it is the fact that the tent is set up next to a small dam and where there’s water, there are more mosquitoes. There are always four five mosquitoes roaming in the toilet and bathroom as well. It is also very very hot out here so better come in winter in my opinion after having shortened our stay here. Also note that on many summer nights, Lightning Ridge has strong wind around 1-3 am. So when you are sleeping, you are hearing dogs, insects, and wind blowing (hopefully no mosquitoes because you have gotten rid of them all). Toilet is a bit far and this does post some small inconvenience.

Fantastic food a must go and eat

Beautiful fresh food lovely people.

Fabulous gathering place in Lightning Ridge. A foodie event where stalls selling Thai, Mexican, lemon myrtle cheesecake, wattleseed muffins, pumpkin soup plus more all featured on the menu. A camp fire roared and a movie played in a big old shed with couches spread around to sit on. I believe they have other functions/workshops here as well, but I’m just getting to know the place so I’m not quite clear on everything it does. The story of how the Thai Thursday and Friday pop up came to be here is worth knowing. Tonight was the Food of the World markets and Jimmy Little movie celebration. Really cool outback evening.

Amazing food, delicious and filling, want to go back again for more.The owners/ cooks are amazing and super friendly. Best Thai food in lightning Ridge. You'll be sad if you don't try it!

Great venue. Great vibe.

It was an outback experience thanks. Food was delicious.
