Too Fast Too Sleep

754, Samyan Center, Rama 4 Rd., 086-577-8989. Open 24/7.
This new café opened earlier this year and immediately won over a crowd of uni students, freelancers and even office workers who need a change of surroundings. The large open space is perfect to get work done without feeling like you’re stuck at a desk.

TCDC

6/F, the Emporium, 02-664-8448. Open Tue-Sun 10:30am-10pm. www.tcdc.or.th
With impeccable design and views of Benjakitti Park, libraries have never been this sexy. Of course, there are also 15,000 books, CDs and DVDs along with over 3,500 additional material resources—not to mention Wi-Fi, Macs, color photocopy, image scanning and digital photography services. Still can’t be tempted by the B3,000 yearly silver membership (B12,000 for platinum)? Just sip a latte at the Kiosk café that shares its space.

Banrie Coffee Ekkamai

4 Soi Sukhumvit 63 [Ekkamai junction], 02-391-9784/5. Open 24/7. www.banriecoffee.com

Yes, it’s a Starbucks, but this branch has a separate room with a large desk, library lamps and a bookshelf, making it the most studious in town. It’s also located in a small house in front of Thonglor Soi 10, plays jazz, and has a decent newspaper corner.
