Tourist tip: Go with someone else so both of you can try both the Oriental and Thai tea sets . Otherwise, Try the Thai tea set for something different. Recommend the Marco polo tea .

Beautiful and relaxing place for afternoon tea . Try to book in advance - they were a bit funny about us booking for later the same day when we turned up & they were full. Service once seated was good.

High Tea set is great, 990++ thb /set plus one portion of beverage (tea , coffee or herbal drink). A set can be enjoyed by 2 so don't order too much.

เหมาะสำหรับจัดงานแต่งงานที่จำนวนแขกในงานไม่เยอะมาก และเหมาะกับทั้งกลางวันและกลางคืน ในช่วงเวลากลางวันจะให้ความสว่าง และรู้สึกสดชื่น ส่วนในช่วงเวลากลางคืนแสงจะไม่สว่างมากแต่แสงสวยมากครับ
