An exotic home away from home. Khao San has many meanings. Traditionally, Khao San directly translates to “milled rice” - the staple food of Thailand, and was once a major rice market that brought life and nourishment to its people. In modern times, Khao San is a renowned, bustling and exuberant road in the heart of Bangkok where travellers and nomads call home. To us, Khao San is a fine mix of both worlds - traditional and modern. Authentic and creative. Exotic and homebound. A space where the spirit of Thailand can be felt and explored and redefined as your own. Not just another Thai restaurant, Khao San is a retreat experience. Wild escape. A Bangkok-inspired bungalow that feels like your second home. When the hustle and bustle of modern living gets too loud, too boring or simply too much, we aim to bring breathing space - a sense of solace and sanctuary - within the vibrant tropics of Thailand. Capturing the buzzing energy of Bangkok - the larger-than-life city of lights - as well as the rich culture of Thailand, Khao San has renewed the feeling and flavour of Thai cuisine: we call it new-traditional Thai food, with a twist. From an array of rice dishes (ginger rice, pandan rice and coconut milk rice), sharing dishes, desserts and street-style food; we blend age-old cooking techniques, recipes, spices and soul to create an authentic bistro Thai-style experience that can be indulged, shared and savoured with good friends, good conversation and good vibes, always.
