Score
Thai Bangkok Bistro has been inspected seven times since 2022. On Mar 19, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around five violations, down from roughly eight violations earlier in the record.
Looking across the full record, “carbon dioxide/helium tanks not adequately secured” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That's lower than the typical Fort Walton Beach restaurant, which scores around 96. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
