Looking for a nice coffee shop for a lazy afternoon.

[taipeiwalkerhk]

Hi folks,

Will go to BKK Mid of Sept alone and would like your suggestion on a nice coffee shop with the following:

1) Easy access .... Hopefully near BTS/MRT with 15 mins walking is also okay

2) Good view with nice ice coffee plus cakes

3) Can sit and watching people on the street.

4) Not so noisy so that I can flip my ebook or paper books.

5) Target price should be around 400B or so.

Anyone can give me suggestion ?

Regards!

Tristan

Cafe Bicycle, by Phloen Chit BTS, or Dean and Deluca, just down Sukhumvit from there.

Thermae is a coffee shop

Library Cafe on (side soi of) Sukhumvit Soi 24.

O'Brien's at ground level of Thaniya Plaza (connects directly with BTS Siam) -- although not a "trendy" place if that's what you want.

Dean & Deluca in Sathorn Square (connects with Chong Nonsi BTS).

Cafes in TCDC (Emporium 7th floor) and BACC -- not with a street view but good people watching and very nice.

Au Bon Pain and Duc du Praslin on Sukhimvit S31 corner.

Etc.

One of the great things about Bangkok is nice coffee shops all over the place. It's often worth walking down the sois to see what you discover. I can think of several others, but they're not always easy to explain how to find.

Cafe Bicycle is shut now unfortunately- closed down on the 15th. They're hoping to re-open somewhere else sometime in the future.

Thanks guys for all the suggestion. What a pity that CB is about to close down see if I can have a last 'sunday' with her.

BTW any cafe not on the street but on above say 5th floor. I think the view will be nice if I sit higher

[taipeiwalkerhk]

Oh my bad it was Aug 15 not Sept 15. So I better look somewhere else

Do people here strike up conversations in coffee shops, or is it a solitary activity the vast majority of the time?
