Thaikhun-Bath
Thai street food restaurant, Thaikhun, opened its ninth site in Bath in early October within the city's redeveloped Little Southgate dining quarter.
The 4,197sq ft 154-cover site underwent a £900k fit out to include a theatre style open kitchen, intimate outdoor dining area and bar.
Inspired by the street food found in cities throughout Thailand, the restaurant concept was initially conceived by Kim Kaewkraikhot, a former street hawker from a town two hours North of Bangkok. Designed to recreate a traditional Thai street scene, the vibrant décor incorporates bric-a-brac, a tuk-tuk and specially selected artefacts, all imported from Thailand.
Ian Leigh, managing director at Thaikhun said: “We are delighted to bring Thaikhun to Bath and hope that our new restaurant will offer something a little different for diners in the area. By combining traditional Thai street food and an authentic, eclectic restaurant setting we hope to inspire dreams or memories of exploring Thailand for every customer that dines with us."
