Great hidden place on the river over looking a park. Beautiful scenery and multiple levels of seating along the river both in and out door. Also, behind the cafe, there is an amazingly large swimming pool for kids and families. The Cafe at night is a very nice restaurant bar with a libe band. When I was there there seem to be many very beautiful groups of women hanging out,dining and relaxing...

A great spot in Surat Thani for sunset lovers and a relaxed night out. The coffee is excellent, and the dinner is delicious too. The price is decent. Plenty parking spots.

Went there for early lunch, really cool by the river and food was great. Menu was hard to read due to the colour choice of paper and writing. Staff very attentive

Night bar that opens until midnight. Live band Thai music. Good vibes to chill with friends. Loads of outside seatings available and these are perfect at night by the river.
