Khan-Tok Box
A Contemporary Expression of Northern Thai Hospitality
Inspired by the centuries-old Khan Tok tradition of the ancient Lanna Kingdom, the Khan-Tok Box at Ka Kai is more than a collection of dishesâit is a celebration of Northern Thai culture, generosity, and the joy of sharing food together.
In Northern Thailand, a Khan Tok is a low round pedestal tray traditionally used to welcome honored guests and gather family and friends around a communal meal. Rooted in the values of hospitality, respect, and togetherness, Khan Tok dining has long been an essential part of Lanna life and remains one of the regionâs most treasured culinary traditions.
Northern Thai cuisine is known for its gentle, layered flavors and emphasis on herbs and natural ingredients. This sharing set offers:
* High-quality protein from pork and sausage
* Fiber and antioxidants from vegetables and tomatoes
* Healthy carbohydrates from black sticky rice
* Beneficial herbs and spices traditionally valued for their warming and digestive properties
* A balanced variety of textures and flavors designed to be enjoyed communally
The Spirit of Lanna Hospitality
At Ka Kai, the Khan-Tok Box represents our interpretation of one of Northern Thailandâs most meaningful traditionsâa table where dishes are shared, conversations are encouraged, and guests are welcomed like family.
Crafted with care by Chef Pop Navapon & Chef Tar Watcharin, the Khan-Tok Box invites you to experience the warmth, heritage, and soulful flavors of Northern Thailandâone shared meal at a time.
