The original Bangkok branch of the world's most well-known coffee chain is not the hot spot it once was, but thanks to a recent renovation, it still offers a neat and quiet spot for a cup of coffee.

This Thonglor branch definitely feels less generic than other Starbucks around town, and benefits from a cozy outdoor terrace that's well shaded from the main road by mature trees. Order a skinny blueberry muffin, pull up a seat alongside the Japanese housewife clientele and enjoy.
