After leaving my hometown for a while, I realized Zhongxing New Village has changed a lot. I asked the owner how long it has been open here. I didn't expect it to be three years. In the past, when talking about where to go to catch up on work, you might first think of the reading room at the local library.
In short, I am very happy that there is also a good place here, where I can reminisce about the past with my old friends, and I can spend a few hours finishing my work when I return home from vacation. Take Fun Coffee has good drinks, simple meals, power outlets, and slow WiFi (but it's still a good place to get some work done during vacations, so it’s not a big deal).
A cozy café located next to the SALA resort. They have a great selection of coffee drinks and delicious ice creams. The place was completely empty at 10 AM on a Monday so finding a seat is not a problem. There's wifi that's plenty fast but unfortunately only two power outlets by the wall so most seats don't have power. They're playing some very chill lounge music and since the café is almost empty it's very quiet. If you want to sit outside there's a few seats in front of the building, however they face a busy road and the sun is quite strong in the morning so staying indoors is probably better. Overall a nice place to relax and get some work done while enjoying good coffee and ice cream. Prices are reasonable, about 130 THB for a very large V60 pour over and 155 THB for a matcha lemonade.
I usually don't find Blue Bottle Coffee to be especially comfortable to work from. However, this location has comfortable cushioned seats along the walls by the windows, good enough to sit and work for a couple of hours.
On a weekday morning it was quiet and not very busy, although I imagine it might get busy around lunch time or in the afternoon. There are plenty of power outlets, although the large worktables in the middle don't have any. The WiFi is a little slow, but it works.
(The restroom sink and toilet flush was broken during my visit. Hopefully that was just a temporary issue though...)
A dessert/ice cream cafe which means it's open in the evening. It's a bit unclear what the exact opening hours are but it was open at least until 21. It's located on the second floor and the big windows gives a nice view of the alley below. The coffee isn't great but there's a large selection of desserts. The WiFi is decent and there are plenty power outlets at most of the seats. The place was not particularly busy on a Tuesday evening but the music is loud.
A quiet coffee shop near Yongkang Street. This cafe definitely focuses on coffee and their selection is very large. Even so, they also have a good selection of tea. The interior is quite simple, but feels modern and clean, and the seats are comfortable. If you need power you should get one of the tables by the walls.
A great place to work from on a weekday morning since they open early and it wasn't very busy. The upstairs seating area has nice views overlooking the river. If the weather is nice you can sit outside on the first floor, or on the balcony on the second floor. The WiFi is quite slow, but works, and there are some power outlets. It seems like weekend afternoons (and definitely weekends) can get very crowded.
