Where to Score the Best Thai Teas in Bangkok from Classic to Sweet

Usually made from Ceylon black tea, milk, and sugar, Thai tea is popular in Southeast Asian nations and is commonly served in Thai cuisine restaurants. While the classic Thai tea is already a treat by itself, there are also other delicious variations that will excite your taste buds. These include additional ingredients or toppings, which you can enjoy for a little extra cost.

The Beat Asia has scoured the streets of Thailand, high and low, to uncover the best Thai tea stores. Here’s where you should make a stop.

Brown Cafe

Opened in 2017, Brown Cafe is a popular dessert store among Gen Z and millennials who have a hankering for all things sweet. One of its special menus is the Shake Shake menu, showcasing the classic Thai Tea served in a covered glass mug that you can shake to enhance its flavours before sipping. Additionally, other flavours such as Taiwan Green Tea, Milk Tea, Berry Tea, and Fresh Milk are also available. For questions and concerns, contact [email protected].

Guu Fusion Roti & Tea

Love roti? What if we told you that there’s a store specifically dedicated to it, where you can pair it with delicious Thai tea? Make your way to Guu Fusion Roti & Tea, with branches located at Nimmanhaemin, JJ Project, and Transit Number 8. The Guu Fusion Roti & Tea stores were designed to evoke a laidback and chill atmosphere, catering to customers who simply want to relax before or after a busy day.

One of the store’s “most famous” offerings is the Chakak Kuroti, which uses tea powder sourced from three countries and incorporates secret techniques in the Guroti style, making it a crowd favourite. We suggest pairing it with the Crispy Rotti With Thai Sweet and Whipped Cream for a much more enjoyable experience.
