Kanin the Rabbit Restaurant and Eatery

Step off Samsen Road into Dé Phanakron and you’ll find Kanin the Rabbit tucked inside a century-old shophouse — all dark woods, vintage cabinets, and whimsical rabbit motifs. By day it’s a refined tea room; by night, a polished Thai eatery. It’s a 10‑minute walk from Khao San but feels miles away from the backpacker chaos. Come for afternoon tea between 9am–4pm: tiered trays arrive with delicate pastries and Thai sweets alongside quality loose‑leaf brews, poured in old‑world china that begs for photos. In the evening from 4pm–10pm, the kitchen shifts to comforting, heritage‑leaning Thai plates served with proper service and a slower pace than you’ll find on Rambuttri. Regulars book ahead for special occasions and date nights. It’s dog‑friendly (well‑behaved pups are welcome), seating is limited, and parking is tight — call or message ahead if you’re driving. The address is 45/3 Soi Samsen 6 (Woraphong), Ban Phan Thom, Phra Nakhon. If you like your Bangkok with a side of nostalgia, this is your spot for a slow afternoon or a relaxed dinner a short stroll from KSR.
