As hotels open along the river in the Yannawa District, so do a host of cool new establishments. As in the low numbers of Charoenkrung Road, in Bangkok’s Creative District, these cafe’s and bars and small local businesses are revitalizing shophouses of Bangkok’s commercial trading past, combining Thai creativity and interior design flair with delicious pastries and cakes, and an ever-expanding repertoire of barista concoctions.
Blackwood Cafe & Studio, with its interconnected rooms decorated with antiques, paintings, flowers and books, feels more like a small gallery or someone’s home than an eatery. They also offer, pizza and beer.
