ViVi The Coffee Place

wat arun view, riverside terrace, sunset spot, signature thai tea

Riverside Cafe with Stunning Views

The view here really is something else, especially from the terrace where you can watch Wat Arun glowing as the sun sets behind it. I grabbed a Thai tea and a slice of coconut cake—both solid picks if you ask me. The place is pretty small though, and it gets crowded quick, so showing up early for a good spot is smart. Staff seemed okay when I was there, but I’ve heard mixed things about them being unfriendly sometimes. Still, for the vibe and that riverside breeze, it’s a nice little escape from the usual city chaos.
