Too Fast To Sleep

This bright and quirky café also boasts a 24-hour schedule, with enough drinks and incredible sweets on the menu to tide you through any work assignment. The huge, lofty space is packed with varieties of areas in which to work – from dining-style tables surrounded with beautiful plants, to cosy and cushioned coves inviting you to curl up and read.

Library at Candide shares its creative space with Jam Factory Bangkok

This riverside café is in a converted warehouse, sharing the space with the popular Jam Factory Bangkok – a creative cultural space that often hosts gallery showings, community markets, and live music events. The space itself has high, vaulted ceilings and wall-to-wall bookshelves, as well as plenty of seating options such as secluded corners and those with garden views.

Storyline Bangkok

This highly stylish Sukhumvit workspace is after the popular co-working trend taking over Bangkok, featuring all the bells and whistles needed for a productive day of work. Its menu is of much better quality than similar cafes – and broader than just a great selection of sweet treats – from ultra-filling Japanese noodle soups to grilled sea bass or hand-rolled sushi.

FabCafe Bangkok

FabCafe has lots of quiet space for solo working, team projects, and large workshops — with the latest technology available to unleash your inner genius.

Tucked away in ultra-hip Ari, FabCafe is a Japanese branch that recently expanded to locations like Bangkok and Singapore. Its setup is minimalistic and bright, and use of its café and WiFi is entirely free. For more in-depth projects, several spaces of different sizes are available for rent, each including a projector, screen, audio system, and white board. Or unleash your inner artist and check out its on-site 3D printer, laser cutter, 3D scanner, and other specialist digital equipment. The space also hosts a number of workshops and events centered around the use of its equipment, like its kids-focused “Nerdy Derby,” and its recent workshop on sustainable fashion.

Think Tank

Though located in a less convenient area than its counterparts, Think Tank makes up for its remoteness with tons of options for a great day of work. The massive, university library-like space is fit for up to 200 people and split into several zones, including a reading room with bean bags and a break room. There are also private meeting rooms available for groups.

Hello Strangers Café

Channeling the style of a beautiful Brookyln loft, this bright space – and attached backyard – offers some quiet reprieve from busy Sukhumvit. The menu has been recently expanded to include more lunch options, and its monkey brain latte served in a skull glass is a must-have.

April Store

A favourite among Chulalongkorn Univeristy students, this café is known for its Aeropress coffee, delivering a smooth taste without a bitter note. The menu is small but reasonably priced, and the airy, open space is nearly always dotted with hard-at-work students creating a productive, focused vibe.
