Café restaurants in Thailand

  1. A

    Café Souvannaphoum

    This new, Swiss-Thai run, hip looking café and wine bar stands out in this budget backpacker area. Real coffee, good breakfast, sandwiches and salads are served in a chic décor of rattan-and-cream easy chairs. Wine is a big focus of this place, with regular wine-tastings. Expect a bigger menu by the time this guide is published.

    Coffee Shop

    Experience the epitome of southern Thai city life - sipping coffee with the locals in an ancient café. Augment your java with a dish of still-warm kà·nŏm bórk, dumplings of flour or sticky rice rolled in coconut and sprinkled with sugar, made directly in front of the shop.

  3. Golden Cup

    When only real coffee and air-conditioning will do, head to this tiny café. To bring you back to Thailand, try the shop’s signature thawng múan, known here as ‘crispy rolls’, a Thai sweet associated with Kanchanaburi.

    DD Coffee

  10. Cappuccino

    Cappuccino’s decor falls somewhere between the New York deli on Seinfeld and a French brasserie – it’s a great place to grab a coffee and croissant.
