George Town, Penang · Modern Thai Tapas
Bangkok street food, plated for the bar on Campbell Street.
Modern Thai tapas and clarified cocktails from two MasterChef Thailand finalists, served in a heritage shophouse off Lebuh Campbell. Six till late, Tuesday through Sunday.
Our Story
Two MasterChef Thailand chefs. One Heritage shophouse.
Khaosan was born from a chance meeting in early 2023. Our Penang co-owner had just weathered the pandemic as a local restaurateur and was looking for the next chapter. He met two finalists from MasterChef Thailand Season 3 — Chef Pond and Chef Toei — the country's most-watched culinary competition and a Nataraja Award winner. The three became co-owners.
Together the co-owners took over a heritage shophouse on Lebuh Campbell — dark wood, industrial cement, a six-seat bar lined with top-shelf spirits — and put the first modern Thai tapas bar in George Town on the map. Pull up a stool, order more than you think you need.
