True Coffee - Silom Road

True Coffee is a popular franchise in Thailand - there are a plethora of them and I have to admit that they do serve very good coffee.

And they serve their coffee in a real cup - it is wonderful and one reason why I go there repeatedly.

It also serves as a meeting place for many to conduct business and I am not sure about this - maybe I am rude to the franchises of coffee shops but they can be a little annoying - nuff said.

This True Coffee is close to to an office that I have to visit and is always a pleasure but wish that the WiFi would not be so complicated to access, i do not have my passport.

Approximate Price: $$$$$

The Food Mall Bangkapi

The Food Mall at Bangkapi is on the lowest floor in the shopping mall - if you come in the front you go down the escalator and if you come in off the river taxi it is the floor that you come in on.

Like many food malls in Thailand there is a lot of choices of food and what seems to an impossible selection of dishes to choose from - I have now given up walking round and ask my wife to choose something for me.

Buy a coupon (big bit of plastic) at the entrance to the food mall and then get a tray - then take the piece of plastic around the food mall choosing the dishes which look appealing to you the most.

This can be done a little carefully as you do not want the plastic money to run out - so put 100 - 200 Baht on the plastic and DO NOT forget to get the money  left over when you leave.

Cafe in Yelo House

I was on a walk alongside the khlong and was surprised to find a creative studio here - Yelo House.

"YELO House is a former warehouse converted into multi-functioned space to serve as a platform for creative-minded people."

So I went in for a coffee. The decor was clearly linked to the creative studios next door - looked very nice.

The view was good and the coffee was strong with brown sugar. If you walk through the studio from the khlong to the other side you will get to Jim Thompson's House.

I have been again since this visit - note: this is the floor in the toilets...
