New Java, Eatery, Hangout, and Experience in the Month of April

Looking for new places to explore in Bangkok? From hidden tea spots to new restaurants and wellness experiences, here are four fresh openings to know right now.

Near the historic streets of Phra Nakhon, Bancha Tea Bar is a tranquil new addition for tea aficionados.

With a recent soft-opening this past March, the bar, set on Fueang Nakhon Road, offers everything from slow-roasted oolongs to bright, fruit-forward teas.

Interior lovers will also appreciate the bar’s warm teakwood accents that give the space a calm feel, reminiscent of an old teahouse.

Bancha also shares its space with Suan Nguen Mee Ma Café, a small café and second-hand bookstore stocked with preloved English books, making it the ideal spot to sip and get lost in a story.

Looking for your next bite? On the second floor of GROOVE at centralwOrld, Belgo Belgian Brasserie keeps things classic with a menu rooted in traditional Belgian brasserie cooking.

Plates are generous and made for sharing alongside a proper pint, with frothy Belgian beers on tap ranging from blondes to darker pours.

Do not miss the Flammekueche, a crisp tarte flambée on paper-thin dough, topped with a variety of flavours that are easy to share and even easier to finish.

ust a few steps from Sanam Pao BTS station, Friends and Duck is an easygoing spot for coffee, cold ones, and laid-back hangs.

The bright, light-filled space feels a bit like spending the day at a friend’s place, relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious.

It works just as well for catching up on emails as it does for meeting pals as the afternoon fades into night.

Throughout the day, fresh live mixes keep the atmosphere gently upbeat, so think of it as a living room away from home, just with better drinks.
