Bo Ben Nyang , Xiang Thong Road, Ban Khili. Situated in a mulberry paper gallery, Bo Ben Nyang serves a range of teas. The upstairs balcony, which affords a wraparound temple view, is the perfect spot to be at 4pm, when the wats' call to meditation is often transformed into a ten-minute drum-and-gong concert.

Luang Prabang Bakery , Xiang Thong Road. The sandwiches are light and tasty and the fruit shakes thick at this place run by a Hmong woman who studied pastry cooking in Bangkok.
