Whilst we were traveling north of Bangkok we come across this little but delightful coffee shop Cafe Chedi คาเฟ่-เจดีย์. It is located along the Song Phi Nong river overlooking the Sapan Khong Floating Market. 

If you wish to visit the Sapan Khong Floating Market it is only open on weekends from 9 am to 6 pm

Cafe Chedi is not a large venue with sitting no more than 20 outside and a few small tables inside. Although I highly recommend stopping in if you are passing through Song Phi Nong province. Their coffee and cold beverages where all received high praise from our group of 5.

If your feeling adventurous, Cafe Chedi คาเฟ่-เจดีย์ have hammock style nets to chill in overhanging the river. Just make sure you have nothing loose in your pockets or it may become fish food.

You are able to purchase a generous bag of fish food to feed the massive fish in the river for just 10 baht (50c)

Along the drive from Bangkok, we came across a big jewelled Buddha just by luck. It was very beautiful and if you are driving this way you can’t miss it. A map to Wat Don Manao can be found here if you wish to stop by.

Whist the name House 1,000 wood Cafe & Farm – บ้าน ๑,๐๐๐ ไม้ might not translate to what it means it Thai is not any reason to avoid stopping by. Another great coffee shop in Thailand that is in an extremely cute location with a resident macaw nestled alongside Bang Toei river.

If you are visiting on a weekend, do note it is a very popular place and maybe busier than stopping on a weekday.

Old Fashioned Photo Opportunities

There is a lot of fantastic farming style photo opportunities such as at an old fashioned water pump or on a tractor. I didn’t manage to get any photos as it was quite busy on the day we visited. We hope to stop past again soon. Although next time will be a weekday to chill and relax on a hammock overlooking the river.

For the kids

If you have children there is a range of activities around the theme of farming that they can engage in. Like getting water from the well or digging in the sandpit.

Cute little tree house to drink your coffee and there is also a platform and walkway quite high to get the perfect selfie. Let your legs dangle free along with all your worries.

The resident parrot Ga-Fair

They have a resident parrot who is very friendly and will eat fruit out of your hand if he chooses to. His name is ga-fair which translates to coffee in Thai. How many coffee shops in Thailand can say they have a resident parrot.

บ้าน ๑,๐๐๐ ไม้ have a range of western dishes as well as Thai food. Most dishes were priced at 95 baht. There is only a menu in Thai. To order you have to take a piece of paper from near the counter and fill it in and give to the cashier along with payment.

If you are not with a person who can read Thai you can use google translate app if you have an internet connection to translate on the fly.
To do this
Open google translate
Click the camera icon,
try to hold steady the paper and it will translate for you..

This is one of my favourite restaurants located in Ratchaburi. Nestled alongside the river with bean bags you can really kick back and relax and enjoy the river views. I love the way all there food is presented here at Tara, will a lot of love and passion. I would say don’t overfill on their main meals! Their desserts are amazing and you are not going to want to miss out on them.!

UPDATE– We were excited to pop back in as soon as the open-air restaurants re-opened after coveit 19 had us stuck inside for what felt like an eternity. We took Luna’s mum here for her first time and she loved it. Added some new pics for you to drool over!
