Recently ordered takeout larb with chicken, and #55 with beef and was blown away at how good it was! The exterior doesn't look like much, but if you love good Thai, order now!
Parking: You can park behind the building, and it's okay to come in the back door.

Normally this is a great restaurant. Today however the service was very slow and the noodles were not fresh. I will try it again next year and see if they are back to normal.

Pretty disappointed with food. We ordered sample, fried rice and pad khi mao. Fried rice is just barely made it through the palette. Sample is ok. Pad khi mao did not cut it, no kick or wok hei.

Very tasty food with several vegan options. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable about the concept of veganism. They customised the pineapple fried rice and panang curry to be vegan and they were both delicious. Service was quick and efficient. I would definitely visit Thai-Lao again on my next visit to the area.
Vegetarian options: Several options are vegetarian by default but check with the staff for confirmation.
Dietary restrictions: Staff is knowledgeable about veganism and able to understand / accommodate customisation of dishes to avoid fish/oyster sauce and/or eggs/meat.
Parking: We were lucky to find a parking spot literally in front of the restaurant.

Speaking as a Thai this place serves terrible Thai food. Not tastes good, they use anything that is not supposed to be in the Thai dishes.

Thai Lao is walking distance from Myrtle beach activity area, about 5 minutes walk. The restaurant has nice interior with Thai vibe integrated with the appearance. The menu is huge with all sorts of well known and popular Thai dishes.
We started with the Tom yum soup with seafood. Really good soup, probably the best item of the night for me. Pad woo sen and calamari were also an excellent dish. The appetizer sampler was underwhelming, I felt the items could have been better.
The waitresses were amazing, provided a very friendly and attentive service. Dishes were served without much wait. Overall it’s a really good spot to have a good family meal.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian appetizers, salad, soup and entrees available.
Parking: Lots of parking lot within walking distance. Street parking are free after meter hours.

Sorry to report there was not much positive about our experience here. Service was awkward. Seemingly sweet older lady who served us insisted on calling my wife "honey" and had apparent language/communication issues. Main courses brought out immediately after appetizers. She asked for spice levels, and despite both of us asking for minimal heat (1 out of 5, 2 out of 5), it made our mouths numb, more like 4 or 5. We're familiar with the cuisine and know it can be intense but this was a mistake in how the order was passed on to the cook.
On top of that, food quality was badly inconsistent. Nam sod was very tasty and generous, but overly spicy. The extra chili paste overwhelmed everything. A simple chicken satay was dry, maybe reheated. Lao spare ribs were probably also reheated. Seven dry, underseasoned and miniscule "ribs" - some had more fat than meat. Pla Khung had about 5 tiny shrimp, and while the basic flavor was good, it was mouth numbing overly spicy.
Just overall disappointing.

Their food and service are amazing. They just need to update their interior because it's weird that they use picnic patterns. It's affecting their profits. They just need to invest in a little paint and table coverings. Their Thai food is so authentic! It's my favorite.
