Frequently asked questions

What hours is Espresso Bar Pai open?

Opening hours are listed as 07:00-17:00. Hours can vary on Thai public holidays and during the low season so confirm by phone if making a special trip.

Does the cafe accept card or only cash?

Most independent cafes in Thailand accept cash and Thai QR PromptPay. Foreign credit cards are sometimes accepted but not guaranteed. Carrying 200-500 baht in cash is the safest approach.
