Baan Khanitha is the name of two award-winning Thai restaurants that are the brainchild of Khanitha Akaranitikul, an elegant lady who made her name as a designer of beautiful fashion garments for her Khanitha boutiques.
Perceiving the need for somewhere to enjoy high quality Thai food in a traditional atmosphere, Khanitha decided to open a restaurant that matched her high expectations of cuisine and decor. The result is Baan Khanitha (Khanitha's home), a charming restaurant that opened 9 years ago in a Thai-style house in Soi 23 Sukhumvit.
With her eye for design, Khanitha created a homely ambiance through the use of traditional handicrafts, paintings, plants, and decor, serving delicious Thai cuisine in beautifully designed plated and dishes. Baan Khanitha was an instant success.
Baan Khanitha & Gallery was established on September 29, 1999 as the second branch of Baan Khanitha with the concept of home-style restaurant & gallery, exhibiting fabulous paintings of talented local and foreign artists. Both Baan Khanitha restaurants have won nine consecutive Bangkok 's Best Thai Restaurant' awards from Bangkok Dining & Entertainment Magazine since 1997-2005. Formerly, Baan Khanitha & Gallery was formerly located at 49 Soi Ruamrudee, Ploenchit Rd. Later, on September 29, 2005 Baan Khanitha & Gallery had officially moved to the new location on South Sathorn road.
Both restaurants offer a superb range of Thai dishes from all over the country, blending Royal Thai cuisine with the spicy flavours of the Thai countryside. Khanitha has selected her favourite recipes and added her own touches to give guests a real home-cooked taste of Thailand.
Popular dishes include:
- Kaeng Phed Ped Yang A-Ngun (Roast Duck Curry With Grapes)
