About Star of Siam

Star of Siam is a long‑established Thai restaurant located in central Launceston, Tasmania, known for serving traditional Thai dishes for both dine‑in and takeaway. The restaurant offers a range of classic curries, stir‑fries, noodle dishes, and rice plates, along with entrees and vegetarian options that reflect authentic Thai flavours. Customers can order in person, by phone, or online via the restaurant’s website (starofsiamtas.com), and the venue regularly caters to couples, families, and group bookings.

A Star of Siam charge may appear on your bank or card statement after you’ve paid for a meal in the restaurant, ordered takeaway, or placed an online or phone order. The description line may show as “STAR OF SIAM,” “STAR OF SIAM LAUNCESTON,” or a similar variation, depending on your bank. Charges can include the cost of food and drinks, any delivery or service fees (if you ordered online), and optional tips. In some cases, you may see a temporary authorization hold for a slightly different amount when your card is first processed, especially for phone/online orders or if the restaurant processes the payment at the end of your visit.

If you’re unsure about a Star of Siam charge, start by checking recent receipts, order confirmation emails, or text messages from your visit or takeaway order on the date of the transaction. Compare the date and amount with any recent meals you had in Launceston or online orders placed via starofsiamtas.com or a food‑delivery platform. To resolve questions, contact the restaurant directly using the phone number and contact form listed on their official website, and provide the charge date, exact amount, and the name on the card. Common issues such as duplicate charges, incorrect amounts, or pending authorizations are usually resolved by the restaurant reversing or adjusting the payment, or by contacting your bank if further investigation is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Star of Siam charge on my card when I only ordered takeaway?

Takeaway orders at Star of Siam are processed through the same payment system as dine‑in meals, so your bank statement will simply show the merchant name (for example, “STAR OF SIAM LAUNCESTON” or similar). If you ordered by phone or online via starofsiamtas.com, the charge will usually occur when the order is confirmed or prepared, not necessarily when you pick it up. Check your order confirmation or SMS from the time you placed your takeaway order to match the amount and date.

Does Star of Siam use any food delivery or online ordering platforms that could explain this charge?

Star of Siam may take orders directly via their website (starofsiamtas.com) and may also partner with third‑party delivery platforms from time to time. Depending on how the payment is processed, your statement might show either the Star of Siam name or the name of the delivery service. Review your recent food‑delivery history and email receipts to see whether you placed an order from Star of Siam through a delivery app around the date of the charge.

Why is there a Star of Siam charge for a slightly higher amount than my bill?

A higher‑than‑expected amount can be due to added items (such as drinks or entrees ordered after the initial bill), tips or surcharges, or delivery and service fees for online orders. In some cases, a temporary authorization hold may appear for an estimated amount before the final total is settled, especially if the payment was taken at the end of your visit. Compare the restaurant receipt or online order breakdown with your bank statement; if the final posted charge does not match, contact Star of Siam directly for clarification.

Does Star of Siam have any subscriptions or recurring billing that could cause monthly charges?

Star of Siam is a restaurant and does not offer subscription plans or ongoing memberships that bill you automatically each month. Any Star of Siam charges on your statement should relate to one‑time purchases such as dine‑in meals, takeaway, or delivery orders. If you see repeated charges you don’t recognize, check whether someone in your household is regularly ordering from the restaurant, and contact the restaurant or your bank if you suspect unauthorized use.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Star of Siam?

If you need a receipt or tax invoice, you can request one by contacting Star of Siam using the details on their website’s Contact page. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit or order, the last four digits of your card, and the exact amount charged so staff can locate the transaction. For online or delivery orders, also check your email inbox and spam folder, as many systems automatically send an order confirmation or receipt when you pay.

What should I do if I think I was double‑charged by Star of Siam?

First, compare the transaction times and amounts on your bank statement to see if one of the charges is a pending authorization that later falls away. If two fully posted charges remain for the same visit or order, contact Star of Siam directly with screenshots or printouts of the transactions so they can review their point‑of‑sale records. If the restaurant confirms a duplicate, they can usually process a refund; if you cannot resolve it with them, contact your bank to dispute the extra charge.

How do I contact Star of Siam about a charge I don’t recognize?

Visit starofsiamtas.com and go to the Contact section to find their current phone number and any listed email or contact form. When you reach out, have your bank statement handy and be ready to provide the charge date, exact amount, and the name on the card so staff can search their records. They can confirm what was purchased, whether the payment was successful or reversed, and what steps to take if the charge appears to be incorrect or unauthorized.
