Frequently asked questions

Does the cafe accept card or only cash?

Opening hours are listed as 08:00-19:00. Hours can vary on Thai public holidays and during the low season so confirm by phone if making a special trip.

Does the cafe 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.
