Pak Kret district, away from the bustling concrete jungle of central Bangkok. And in this little corner of a local road, surrounded by gated village developments encroaching on the already scarce rural beauty, a café. It is built at the edge of a plantation. With parts of the café supported on stilts, with wild fishes adapted to live among agriculture swimming where water gathers, one gets to enjoy local ruralism while sipping coffee and having that cookie that comes in a set. They have cakes as well, but if it is hot food you want, this place does none. So, we where here thinking that we could have breakfast, and found none. Not to worry for next door, is a local noodle shop that has a setting as genuinely rustic as it gets. Parking at this café however, will be a problem. They only have lots for about 5 cars max. 50 meters away is a larger parking compound, and there is a golf cart that transports people to and fro on request. I think it may be popular with bikers, there was a lineup of big bikes parked front of the café while I was there. Both outdoor and indoor seating are heavily infused with innumerable number of plants. Some real and some plastic, but the end effect is a pleasant and calm vibe. Free internet, electrical sockets discreetly hidden and yet accessible, I was there a few days later for light work on my notebook and a good coffee 7 in the morning. It is conducive the environment. The café also features a mini spa, some good massage perhaps for some followed by a good coffee. I never tried so I do not know how good it is. It’s a pleasant café, and having come twice here means it is on the good side of my book.
