Meena Cafe

Meena Cafe is a countryside cafe set among green rice fields in Muang Chum, about 20 minutes by road from central Kanchanaburi. A long bamboo bridge runs out across the paddies, and Wat Tham Suea sits on the hill behind, which makes it a favourite for photos.

Drinks are the main draw. Coffee, honey lemon and Thai tea are the usual orders, along with a honeycomb snack and cakes such as matcha red bean. The food menu is simple, with few vegetarian options.

The grounds have shade, fans, a lounging area and plenty of parking. Ride-hailing cars are hard to find out here, so it is easier to arrive with your own transport or a driver who waits. The cafe closes on Wednesdays.
