Air Raid Shelter Hostel and Coffee Shop

bangkok has more specialty coffee shops per square kilometre in its old town districts than most cities would know what to do with, and the competition is genuinely fierce. that makes it harder, not easier, to stand out on maha chai road in phra nakhon, where you're already surrounded by centuries of layered history and foot traffic that doesn't slow down for anyone. air raid shelter hostel and coffee shop at 74 maha chai rd has built something that the area's regulars clearly keep coming back to, based on a review standing that sits well above the neighbourhood average. if you're orienting yourself around the grand palace or the democracy monument, this stretch of samran rat is worth building your morning around, and the coffee here is a reasonable place to anchor it.
