Iea Sae Coffee
As always in Yaowarat, this 80-year old coffee joint does not sell the usual latte or cappuccino - the special treat is Chaozhou coffee, a bittersweet Chinese brew.
If you're looking for bars or clubs, you are definitely in the wrong neighbourhood â but in Yaowarat, you'll always find an opportunity to drink something you have never tried before. You might want to try the snake tonic in the middle of Phadung Dao Road, about 300 metres from the east end of Yaowarat Road. Based on Chinese traditions, an old man can cure any ailments you might have with this brew from the blood and meat of snakes. Not for the fainthearted.
Most visitors just line up at one of Yaowarat Road's numerous hawker stalls for some soda or iced chocolate. Else you can take a seat at one of the area's coffee joints:
Ek Teng Phu Kee Coffee
A nice coffee stall down the east end of Yaowarat. A good place to see the people of Yaowarat discuss anything you probably can't understand over a cup of coffee.
