Enjoy Thai coffee at GO CAFE, a Bangkok establishment with a long history dating back nearly 80 years.

GO CAFE, a coffee shop quietly nestled in Bangkok's popular Soi Nana area, has been in business for about 80 years. We visited this small, old-fashioned cafe with deep roots in the local community.

Soi Nana is a popular area on the way from Hua Lamphong Station towards Chinatown, and is home to many famous bars, cafes, and restaurants. While browsing the shops, you might easily miss Go Cafe, a small cafe.

The shop has been in business for about 80 years. The owner, Mr. Go, has been running the shop for the past 30 years. This shop serves Aulian, a type of Thai coffee that has been popular in this country for a long time.

The store is located at the entrance of an alleyway and consists of nothing but shelves, tables and chairs. It's as if time has stopped here.

Although it's called a store, it's nothing more than a historic shelf at the entrance to a narrow alley. In addition to coffee, they also serve Thai iced tea, plum soda, and other drinks, all priced at just 25 baht! While sophisticated cafes are great, taking a break in a place that truly feels like "part of the city" is also a truly Thai way to spend time.
