Homchan’s (087-712-3627, www.fb.com/homchancafe) dangling ferns, red bricks and loft-style high ceilings look like they were pulled straight out of the Ekkamai cafe playbook.
 
Instead, you’ll find this postcard-perfect oasis of industrial-chic cliches just a gentle stroll from Chanthaburi’s renowned Chanthaboon riverside community.
 
While enjoying the scenery, grab a cup of coffee (B40) to go with straight-up comfort food like cheesy toast (B70) or a crispy salad (B60). Upstairs is Homchan Hotel and Studio, where a room goes for B900/night.
