Breakfast In Bangkok

[NedKelly]

Having travelled quite a lot, I have found that in some cities there are certain acfes or restaurants that have a reputation for being a good place to have breakfast. For example in Hanoi there is the Cafe Moca which is a nice place to sit in the morning with a newspaper, some good coffee and one of thier great breakfasts.

Is there anywhere like this in Bangkok. I dont mean just good food, it has to have good atmosphere also. It must be the sort of place you can relax and have a leisurely breakfast. Anyway, if you know of some place, share it here !

Try the Madrid on Patpong 1 - good food, no hassles. Opens up about 0530-0600

If you want something a little more upscale than the previous recommendation (I can't imagine anything more depressing than breakfast in Patpong), I'd suggest Kuppa in Sukhumvit Soi 16, or Crepes & Co in Sukhumvit Soi 12.

or if you want something a little more downscale, then try the morning foodcarts on soi 22 sukhumvit.

orange juice,papaya and pineapple slices ,coffee, pathongos and a newspaper.

Nothing unusual about Sukhumvit Soi 22...you can get the same thing (fresh orange juice, fresh sliced fruit, coffee, patongkho, and a paper) in just about any street, soi, or trok in the city.

Its all good !

At the Cafe Moca in Hanoi they had a 'big breakfast' with bacon, eggs, toast and all that stuff.......I dont eat this sort of thing much anymore but sometimes it's nice to go out for a splash !

I have been to Kuppa, its a nice place.

In Sydney we would sometimes meet up at Kings cross on a Sunday morning to have breakfast on the sidewalk and watch sandal clad tourists walk past; still drunk locals emerging from some dodgy hole in the ground; street workers on their way home after a hard night on the street and homeless people arising from piles of newspapers on park benches. All very colourful.

The waitresses were always swedish, english, german or japanese backpackers.

Soi 4, Jools, good greasy English breakfast and a great host (if hes up in time!)

Ned kelly,

Nothing I would fancy better than JOK JED MOR near Susie pub ( khaosan road).

Crape and co is nice too and I also like breakfast at Hyatt.

The breakfast at the Majestic Suites is very good and its fun to sit by the window and people watch.

[englishoak]

Never up early enough for breakfast unless i'm on the way home

[NedKelly]

Hey Candyflip.....those jok stands near the 7/11 are great. I used to live near there and walk around late in the evening sometimes to have a bowl. It was good to watch all the young Thai people eating before going to Susies Pub for a rage. I never tried them for breakfast though.

I dont mean just good food, it has to have good atmosphere also.

I am afraid, in Bangkok, the nice atmosphere very often stop at dawn,... (a bit earlier these days )

[nokgow]

i have not been to bangkok in 10 years. i have missed it since i left to return to the u.s. hope to return within the next year. i love reading all your discussions about bangkok.i can just imagine being there. thank you

Caffe Cafe at Phahonyothin 7 (Soi Aree) at the foot of the escalator of the BTS Aree Station. Big servings. English-speaking. Good Thai food too.

or if you want something a little more downscale, then try the morning foodcarts on soi 22 sukhumvit.

orange juice,papaya and pineapple slices ,coffee, pathongos and a newspaper.

I agree with this one a real pig out at good prices

Around Sukhumvit you might try "took ladii" in Foodtown (if you can find a seat) food is Ok, servise quite fast (they want to free up the seat that you waited so long for)

Jools is a good place, food IMHO is Ok and then you can make yourself comfortable for the day and listen to all the "old timers stories" for the rest of the day. Ya can't help but be impressed with the "whos who" that gather here, particularly if it is your first visit to the realm.

the breakfast in my bed is quite good. homemade, of course..starts at around 10am, ends whenever i get up.

[meadish_sweetball]

Someone asked for breakfast on Phra Athit - my suggestion is Ricky's coffeeshop.

Great baguettes with the works, mustard, blue cheese, crispy bacon, veggies - you choose! Their coffee is legendary too, and the girls working there are the sweetest thing you'd ever see.

I used to drop in there almost every day on my way to Thammasat when I did my time in the Big ole Smog.

[kaspasecret]

in my bed, definitly better

but shared with someone

but fresh juice please

[bodypaul]

Have a cold beer in Lucky Luke's right hand entrance to Nana Plaza .... and start all over again!!
