Nam heng LI (หน่ำเฮงหลี), Daily: 06.00 – 16.00 or from 06.00 (5/20)

A bit out of the usual parametre of the Bangkok Old Town, but a draw in itself, should you are looking for a real, charming oldie cafe. This place, as it turns out, has been around since the wartimes, too. Now, their daughters are still making drinks from socks – sock teas, coffees, etc.. Come for breakfast with old-style toasts and gaya, poached eggs, and a cup of black coffee. If you like their natural gaya, buy one tub back (Bt80). The portion is huge and should last you weeks.
