Din Restaurant and Jazz Bar | Bangkok Jazz & Dinner Spot on Dinso Road
📍 Location & Setting
Din Restaurant and Jazz Bar sits on Dinso Road in Phra Nakhon, part of the heritage Baan Tuk Din Hotel – a beautifully restored 125-year-old house that blends vintage Bangkok charm with modern comfort.
It’s also very convenient for visitors staying in or around Khao San Road:
- Just 600 metres from Khao San Road (around 7–8 minutes on foot), making it an easy escape from the backpacker-nightlife bustle.
- Only 150 metres from Democracy Monument, one of Bangkok’s best-known landmarks and a reliable orientation point.
This makes Din an appealing option for anyone wanting something more refined and atmospheric than the typical Khao San bar scene, without needing a taxi or long walk.
Inside, expect warm lighting, wooden furniture, framed art, and the classic feel of a lovingly preserved old house. There’s also a quiet courtyard garden behind the building if you prefer open-air dining or a more intimate, tranquil setting.
🎶 Music & Live Performances
Live jazz is a major draw here, with sets typically running:
- Thursday & Sunday: from 8:00 PM until 10:00 PM
- Friday & Saturday: from 8:00 PM until 11:00 PM
The music leans toward classic jazz – smooth vocals, small ensembles, and relaxed, melodic sets that match the venue’s heritage ambience. Even on non-music nights, the bar still attracts diners and cocktail lovers who enjoy the space itself.

🍽️ Food, Drinks & Menu Highlights
Din serves a mix of Thai home-style dishes and international comfort food, with crowd favorites including:
- Green curry with roti
- Khai Palo (pork & egg stew)
- Pork chops in creamy sauce

The bar features classic and signature cocktails, plus a decent wine selection. Pricing is mid to upper-mid range, fair for the setting and the quality of ingredients, and justifiably more polished than the average Khao San venue.
