Palms Thai is a Thai restaurant in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It is primarily known for its Thai Elvis impersonator,[1][2][3] which has made it a hub for fans of Elvis Presley.[4][5]
Palms Thai originally opened in Thai Town, Los Angeles,[6] and is still often described as being part of the neighborhood.[7][8] Kavee "Kevin" Thongpricha performed for many years as the restaurant's resident Elvis impersonator,[2] although he has since retired.[1][9]
