We loved this little coffee shop on the historic Pakprak road in Kanchanaburi, located in one of the historic buildings there.

We chatted to the pleasant owner who told us that the building has been owned by his family for generations and used to be a convenience store and before that it was a shop that sold lacquer that was used in the boat-building industry. There was a boat yard located on a stretch of the river adjacent to the shop.

The coffee was good as was the service and we were given some tea that the owner had concocted from his own recipe which was delicious.

That cat in the pictures is Wela (เวลา), which means “time” in Thai. He belongs to a lady who lives nearby but comes to visit occasionally.

We rented a motorbike and drove out to Prasat Mueang Singh Historical Park, a temple complex built by the Khmers which is thought to be the Westernmost point of the former Khmer Empire.

To get there you head up Route 323 otherwise known as Thanon Sangchuto which you’ll pick up after you cross the bridge as you head North out of Kanchanaburi town. The road stretches from Ban Pong District in Ratchaburi Province all the way up to Three Pagodas Pass on the Thai/Myanmar border and is one of the prettiest in Thailand.

We’re great big fans of Thai sweets – especially the coconut ones. The little market pictured we found just off Route 323 on the way back with one stall having a very good and very delcious selection of Thai sweets was lots of fun.

Explore.
