Our vision is to become the go-to destination for Thai cuisine, celebrating Thailand's culinary heritage through innovation, exceptional service, and the creation of memorable dining experiences.
Our History
Founded by Benjamin Ford, KCThaiPlace started as a small venture born out of a love for Thai culture and cuisine. Benjamin, originally from a multicultural background, discovered his passion for Thai food during his travels throughout Southeast Asia. Enamored by the complex flavors, spices, and appealing presentation of Thai dishes, he decided to bring these culinary masterpieces to his home city.
In 2015, armed with a degree in Culinary Arts and years of experience in renowned restaurants, Benjamin opened the doors to KCThaiPlace, setting the stage for a unique dining experience that emphasized authenticity and quality. Over the years, we have grown into a beloved local establishment, cherished by our patrons and community for our genuine approach to food and service.
The Inspiration Behind the Website
As a response to the growing interest in Thai cuisine and the diverse food culture in Kansas City, Benjamin recognized the need to enhance the accessibility of his culinary creations beyond the restaurant walls. Thus, the idea for the KCThaiPlace website was born. Launched in early 2022, the website serves as both an educational resource and a comprehensive platform for all things Thai—including recipes, dining tips, cultural insights, and product recommendations.
