The things people ask us most — parking, dogs, kids, getting here, and hiring the room upstairs. If yours isn't here, just call. Someone will pick up.
At the far end of Thonglor, where the road meets Phetchaburi — right under the bridge over the canal. The address is 759 Sukhumvit 55, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110. Worth knowing before you set off: this is the top of Thonglor, not the Sukhumvit end.
Just "Saphan 55" — drivers know it. If that doesn't land, say "saphan" (สะพาน, bridge): it is the only bridge on the road, so there is nothing else it could mean.
No — and we would rather say so than have you try. BTS Thonglor is at the Sukhumvit end of the road and we are at the top, about two kilometres up. Take a red truck (songthaew) from outside the station; they run the length of Thonglor and stop right in front of us.
Yes, and it is the quickest way if you are coming from town. Thong Lo pier on the Khlong Saen Saep line is right by us — get off, cross the footbridge, and you are here.
Yes — free, on site, and somewhere between forty and sixty spaces. In Thonglor that is close to unheard of, and it is the reason a lot of people come to this end of the road in the first place.
Two floors. Everything day to day happens on the ground floor — the kitchens, the coffee counter, the seating inside and out. The whole upstairs is a private event space you can hire.
Yes, in the outdoor seating. Dogs are welcome out there and there is plenty of it — indoors we have to keep them out.
Very. We have high chairs, and a pile of things to play with — board games, Jenga, and old 8-bit video games. Parents tend to get through a whole coffee here, which is not nothing.
Yes, the ground floor is accessible by wheelchair, and that is where everything day to day happens. Two things we should be straight about, though. There is no dedicated accessible toilet — the toilets are roomy, but they are not fitted out for it. And there is no lift, so the event space upstairs cannot be reached by wheelchair.
Not a dedicated one, no. The toilets are spacious enough that most parents manage, but we would rather you knew in advance than found out.
Yes to all three. The Wi-Fi is free, there are power sockets, and nobody is going to hurry you along. Stay as long as you like.
There is a designated outdoor smoking area. The indoor, air-conditioned room is non-smoking — so whichever of the two you are, there is somewhere to sit.
Yes — order anything from anywhere on the premises, to any table, and it all lands on one bill. The kitchens, the coffee counter and the dessert counter are all ours and all on the same till. Tom yum and a sourdough pizza at the same table is an extremely normal order here.
Yes, and we will do what we practically can beyond what is marked. Do tell your server, because Thai cooking hides fish sauce, shrimp paste and dried shrimp in places you would not expect — it is much easier for the kitchen to leave something out than to take it back out.
No. We are not a halal kitchen and we would not want to imply otherwise.
Yes. Thai dishes come at the heat you ask for — no chilli, mild, medium, hot, or very hot. Asking for it mild is not a strange request and nobody will think less of you.
Not a separate one. The kitchen will adjust a dish for a child though — less spice, a smaller plate, something left out. Tell your server what your child will and won't eat and they will sort it with the kitchen.
Yes, by about half an hour. Last orders are 22:30 Tuesday to Thursday and 23:30 Friday to Sunday. All the kitchens keep the same hours, so there is never a point in the evening where one is open and another has shut. If you are going to be cutting it fine, give us a ring.
Takeaway yes, delivery no. Order at the counter and we will pack it up for you. We are not on any delivery platform, so a listing that says otherwise is out of date.
Yes. Ask at the table or the counter for what is on — it changes, so the printed menu is the one to trust.
It is a proper espresso bar, ground fresh to order. We don't roast our own — we would rather buy well than claim more than we do. Plant-based milk is there if you want it. If coffee isn't your thing: matcha, English tea, Thai tea, herbal teas, fresh lemonade and fruit sodas.
Yes. BREW — Beers & Ciders is on the ground floor. Same company as the kitchens, under its own name, with its own bar and counter. Sixteen taps, with more again in the fridge, imported and Thai, Belgian and Trappist among them. Wine and sangria as well.
Usually not. We are a big place, and walk-ins almost always find space. We do take reservations though, and groups of about twenty or more tend to book so we can put you together properly. Call +66 98 982 2255.
Cash, cards and PromptPay QR — we take everything. One thing to know: card payments have a 300 baht minimum.
No. The price on the menu is the price you pay — service and VAT are already in it.
Yes — every Friday night. Who is playing changes week to week, and we post that on Instagram first.
Yes — the whole of the second floor. It has its own kitchen, an air-conditioned room, a bar and a large outdoor area, and it is yours for the day.
Up to three hundred across the floor. Seated inside the air-conditioned room the number is smaller — think under a hundred. Most events spill into the outdoor area, which is under a big roof with a large fan and proper ventilation, so it stays comfortable rather than turning into a hot afternoon outside.
So far: corporate events, art exhibitions and product expos. The room takes a crowd and a long table equally well, so it has been more flexible than we expected.
Either way. We have the AV on site and can provide it all, and catering can come from our kitchens — but you are equally welcome to bring your own caterer. We would rather the day looked like yours than like ours.
Yes, that can be arranged. Corkage is not a fixed rate — it is agreed per booking, along with everything else. Mention it when you enquire and we will work it out with you.
About a week is usually enough. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway — it often still works.
It depends on the day, the numbers and whether you want catering from us — so rather than post a figure that would be wrong for most people, tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with a real one. Email team@saphan55.com or call +66 98 982 2255.
Yes. It closes the ground floor for the day, so the price has to cover what downstairs would have taken as well as the event itself. Most bookings are the upstairs event space on its own, and downstairs stays open as usual. Either way, send us the date and numbers and we will work out a figure — team@saphan55.com or +66 98 982 2255.
Ask us directly — we would rather answer than have you guess.
