Tha Chang Pier

Popular café among art students from the nearby Silpakorn University. It's a nice place for a coffee, tea or hot chocolate. You can go upstairs if you want to have lunch, but don't expect too much of the food. They only have simple rice and noodle dishes that can be found everywhere. When dusk kicks in, many students come here to drink beer in large "beer towers".

Tha Tien Pier

Professional looking European-style café, but an English sign is missing. It is a nice place to fresh up after hiking through the temple grounds of Wat Pho. Its front opens directly onto the street with seats on the pavement. The atmosphere is relaxed and there are some simple Thai dishes on the menu.
