Khum Khantoke (คุ้มขันโตก)

[Kanga Japan]

Can anyone tell me what KHUM KHANTOKE means?

Is it the same as AAHAAN KHANTOKE (อาหารขันโตก), which I understand to mean a Khantoke-style dinner?

Thank you for your help.

Okay so, if in the restaurant type of thing it is a seating in the restaurant that is a khantoke style. So floor seating with a cushion for each person. But if in night market or walking market somewhere it is very similar to the restaurant. So basiacally having a khuntoke table thing. Not sure if im right and/or explaining it correctly. Sorry if this doesnt make sense. But hopefully this picture explain it a bit.

Dear geramin,

Thank you very much for your reply and also the photo. I understand your explanation very well and now realise that it has nothing to do with the food. I appreciate your help.

Dear Seligne2,

Thank you very much for that link. I have seen it, but it is a bit hard to understand. I thin that this word refers to the table setting. Thank you for your help.

Not thought this through, but one definition of KHUM is "residence of a Lao prince in the north of Thailand" (source: LEXiTRON). Could it be that the term refers to the building?

Dear Oxx,

Thank you for that. I don't know much Thai myself, but it does sound plausible.
