Thaikhun Bath

A firm favourite with TripAdvisor reviewers, who rate it top of the list of Thai restaurants in Bath, Thaikun is as famous for its ambience as its food. Decked out like a bright, colourful Bangkok street market, this fun restaurant has a massive menu filled with sharing platters, stir-fries, light bites and a great grill section.  Thaikun’s belly pork with sticky rice comes highly recommended, as does the Massaman curry and vegetable spring rolls. The portions are generous and there’s even an inventive cocktail menu on hand to wash it all down with.

Find Thaikun on Little Southgate, not far from our Hot Bath apartment and Bath Spa railway station.
