Slowcombo

Founded by Slowmotion’s design director and a co-founder of fashion label Sretsis, Slowcombo is built around the idea that Bangkok could stand to slow down. The Samyan space brings together a healthy spin on classic rice-and-curry cooking, a flower shop championing Thai-grown blooms with a side of conservation messaging and a running programme of mindfulness and movement classes. It is less about hanging out aimlessly for hours and more about taking a deliberate, unhurried pause in the middle of the day.

Crowd: students, nearby young professionals and wellness-minded regulars

Vibe: mindful, unhurried and quietly earnest

Chulalongkorn 50, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330. Open daily 10am-8pm
