Sailom Gallery: A Hip Ceramic Café @ Bang Pu
This is another art-filled café that you shouldn't miss. If you love ceramic art, paintings, sculptures, and stylish knick-knacks, and enjoy taking photos in unique spots, I recommend visiting Sailom Gallery. Not only can you admire the beautiful gallery, but you can also shop for your favorite pieces to take home. Most items include practical goods like cups, plates, and spoons with stylish designs. Importantly, this café offers great-tasting coffee and delicious pastries at affordable prices, all in a lovely atmosphere by the sea and a pond, with a cool breeze throughout the day. It’s also next to the restaurant Sailaom, and nearby, you can visit beautiful attractions like Bang Pu Resort, Ancient City, and Erawan Museum. If you prefer not to visit just one place, you can check in at multiple spots.
Sailom Gallery is open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
Located at Soi Thetsaban Bang Pu 72, Samut Prakan.

Chom Chao: A Studio of Memories
If you are a fan of vintage style and love taking photos, you must visit Chom Chao. This small studio recreates the classic atmosphere of the 70s and 80s, featuring various shops, a cinema, a gas station, houses, a grocery store, a watch shop, a tailor shop, etc. What’s interesting is that the items displayed in the shops are all rare antiques that people today have never seen. This makes it a fascinating check-in spot and a paradise for photography lovers and vintage enthusiasts. Additionally, the studio has a café serving food and drinks, and entry is free of charge! If you enjoy this style, make sure to add it to your must-visit list.
