A SCOTTISH restaurant considered a popular spot for Asian cuisine is closing its doors after operating for 21 years.
In February, Edinburgh’s Phuket Pavilion closed for the last time.
The restaurant, found on Union Street, told customers in an online statement as well as notice on their website that they are now "permanently closed".
They wrote: "Now permanently closed. It was our pleasure serving food for the past 15+ years! Couldn't have done it without our customers."

It got its name - Phuket - from "a luscious and tropical island of Thailand which lies in the tranquil and warm settings of the Andaman Sea", according to their website.
The Thai restaurant was spotted with a "for let" sign above the door and it has been reported that all of the tables and chairs have been removed.
The eatery boasted four and a half stars on Tripadvisor, praising their flavours and good service.
Per its location, the restaurant was popular with locals and tourists heading to the Playhouse Theatre.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
