After The Rain Coffee & Gallery For the Girlies Who Love A Good Café Moment

Yours truly at After The Rain Coffee & Gallery, Bangkok 🌿

Some cafés are just cafés. And then there are those that feel like a gentle pause like After The Rain Coffee & Gallery, tucked away on the outskirts of Bangkok.

If you're a café girlie, love a calm aesthetic, or simply want to escape the usual chaos, this one’s for you.

We went on a cooler-than-usual Bangkok late afternoon. The sky was soft, the mood slower. The café sits beside a narrow lake, surrounded by tall trees and wooden walkways. Think quiet swings, iced Thai teas, and little white and yellow boats that look like they belong in a Pinterest mood board.

What’s special here? They offer a free boat ride through their private canal; short but peaceful, and perfect for content, if you're that person (same). The catch? You need to order food worth at least 100 THB per person, and honestly, that’s super doable.

We ate, showed our receipt, and off we went. The ride was calm, scenic, and surprisingly private. And shoutout to the super sweet staff — they offered to take our photos without us asking and absolutely nailed the angles. That alone deserves a star.

Now, here’s your pro tip (from someone who always does her R&D before going anywhere): Come in the late afternoon. Mornings are busier, and the boat ride operates on a first come, first serve basis, so the wait can get long. We reached around 4:30 PM and didn’t have to wait at all.

Just keep in mind: The café closes at 6 PM, so time it right.
