Khaosan Lane

Khaosan Lane, nestled in Melbourne's GPO Postal Lane, offers an authentic Thai-Esan dining experience reminiscent of Bangkok's vibrant streets. The eatery specializes in 'mu kratha'—a Thai BBQ style featuring a dome-shaped grill surrounded by a hotpot moat, allowing diners to cook a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables at the table. Signature dishes include marinated pork, pork belly, beef, prawns, squid, and mixed vegetables, complemented by glass noodles and a whole egg for added flavor. The menu also features bubbling bowls of fragrant bone broth or tom yum-based hotpot, small plates of grilled or fried proteins, spicy marinated seafood, and unique offerings like deep-fried duck beaks. To accompany the meal, guests can enjoy Singha on tap and Thai-inspired cocktails available by the glass, pitcher, or bucket. The venue's lively atmosphere is enhanced by live music five nights a week, and its midnight license ensures a vibrant dining experience into the late hours.
