Encinitas, CA – The business district along North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas has gained a new player with the recent issuance of an alcohol license. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) granted a license to Coast Thai-Way, a business operating at 698 N Coast Hwy 101.
The license, issued on March 18, 2026, is for a “Temporarily Unclassified” business type, indicating the ABC is still finalizing the categorization of the establishment. The license allows for the sale of beer and wine within an eating place.
The primary owner of Coast Thai-Way is PBSB LLC, with Nakhonekhahm Inthavong listed as a member. The application process, handled through the San Marcos Business Name Office, has been underway for several weeks.
The location of the business sits amongst a collection of shops and restaurants along the popular coastal thoroughfare. The area is known for its mix of established businesses and newer ventures, catering to both local residents and tourists. The street is a busy thoroughfare, particularly during peak seasons.
The ABC’s decision to issue the license marks a significant step for the new business. The agency requires all establishments serving alcohol to maintain a license, ensuring responsible alcohol sales and adherence to state regulations.
