Frequently asked questions
Is the cafe vegetarian or vegan friendly?
Plant-based milks like soy or oat are usually available for an extra 20-30 baht. Pastries are not all vegan though so ask staff before assuming. Vegetarian-friendly food options vary day to day based on the bake.
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.
Does the cafe have reliable WiFi for working?
Yes WiFi is generally reliable enough for messaging and email. Power outlets are available at most counter or wall seats. For stable video calls a backup mobile-data SIM is a good idea anywhere in Thailand.
