Black and Milk

Phra Nakhon has been stockpiling creative energy for years – crumbling shophouses, Buddhist temples, canal side streets. A history minded book cafe feels right at home here.

Black and Milk runs the cafe downstairs. Rim Khob Fah houses the bookshop upstairs. The partnership works because both sides mean it. The shelves lean into Thai history, heritage and local culture, with English language editions woven through.

Browse upstairs, then drift back down for coffee. On the menu: Thai style drip and a solid espresso. 

121 Charan Sanitwong Frontage Rd, Bangkok. Open daily 7am–7pm
