Legend has it, back in the 80s, most bars had to close by midnight so drunk customers and bargirls would hang out at this cafe. | |||
The café exudes an old-school vibe, with dim lighting, simple wooden furnishings, and a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. Despite its age, it has managed to maintain a steady clientele, a mix of expats, locals, and curious tourists. The ambiance is casual and unpretentious, offering a stark contrast to the more modern and glitzy establishments that have sprung up around Sukhumvit. | The café exudes an old-school vibe, with dim lighting, simple wooden furnishings, and a somewhat mysterious atmosphere.
