Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Factory Coffee is the first specialty coffee shop that comes to mind for Bangkok coffee lovers. It opened in 2013, has employed Thai barista champions, and roasts its own beans. The space has an industrial style, featuring concrete and metal, and the menu offers much more than just a flat white. Specialties include drinks like the Phaya Thai, espresso with lemon and soda, as well as various cold brews.

The location is another reason why the café is so popular with visitors. It's situated on Phaya Thai Road, right next to the Airport Rail Link station, which connects to the Phaya Thai BTS station. This makes it the ideal spot for a first coffee right after arriving by train from Suvarnabhumi Airport or as a stopover on your way to Siam. The café is very popular, and reviewers report queues even on weekday mornings, so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

It opens at 8:00 AM and closes at 4:00 PM, earlier than most cafes in the city. Therefore, it's best to plan your visit for the morning. Seating is limited during peak hours.
