Too Fast to Sleep cafe in Bangkok never closes
Bangkok, April 08, 2012
Night owls in Bangkok are blessed with lots of places they can hang out late, even until dawn, but if you're looking a quiet place to read, study or dream up some creative ideas in peace, head to a place called Too Fast to Sleep.
Opened in January, the tall building near the Sam Yan intersection houses a sizeable study space and a cafe that never closes. The piped-in music is soft so as not to disturb your concentration.
The ground level has only a few tables, but there's plenty of seating upstairs on the sofas, at the low tables, at counters and at several proper tables.
Groups of students, including juniors, occupy every corner, textbooks piled on the tables, or else it's some lone professionals with faces buried in a computer screen. You're lucky to find a vacant spot on weekday afternoons.
This is a decent place for a coffee, too, if you just want a quick fix. The Too Fast coffee (Bt80) is a cappuccino with chocolate milk. A rosella root beer (also Bt80) blends flower petals in sugar preserved with root beer on ice for a nice, refreshing cold drink on a hot day. Unless you're addicted to sucrose, ask them to go easy on the sugar.
Fruit smoothies are Bt80 too and tea can be had for Bt50. There are snacks and light dishes as well. The cafe makes its own cakes. Try a slice of rich and velvety Concorde cake with chocolate mousse filling, or a bittersweet mocha opera. For a pure sugary delight, order a millefueille to go with some tea. All of these are Bt90.
And the Wi-fi Internet is free.
Too Fast to Sleep is in the Sam Yan Station complex next to the subway stop.
It never closes.
