An Eastern favourite that’s made its way over around the world in recent years is something of an oddity.  Maybe you’ve come across it!  Bubble milk tea, a curious drink that’s already taken Thailand by storm, is readily available in Bangkok.  Everywhere you look, you’re likely to find someone with a new take on the frothy, milky drink.  One of the most popular new bubble milk cafés, Tiger Sugar, can be found out in Pratunam.

But why should you make a beeline there?  Is it the best place to start if you’ve never had bubble milk tea before?  Read on for the full lowdown.

Tiger Sugar: New to Bangkok

There are more brands of bubble tea out there than you may think.  What’s more, it’s grown to become a multi-billion-baht industry!  There’s little wonder why so many new brands and lines are popping up offering the sweet stuff.  One of the most famous, Tiger Sugar, is already picking up plenty of praise online at its first location.

Having opened up in early 2019, the brand is already synonymous across the East for tasty, milky treats.  Visitors have been taking to TripAdvisor to recommend the tea house, which is serving scores of flavours and blends for patrons to sample.  If you’re looking for a creamy, bubbly tea experience available in a variety of tastes, this bar apparently promises to be a cut above the pack.

You’ll find the bubble brewers on Ratchaprasong Road, operating on The Market Bangkok’s second floor.  Based in the heart of the city, it’s not too hard to find.  However, the brand still has a way to go if it’s going to compete in an already heaving city.  Tourists and Bangkok locals adore this sweet, sugary drink.  It may not be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s certainly making its mark.

A Name You Can Trust

Bubble tea enthusiasts will already recognise the brand name.  Some state that it’s the very pinnacle of bubble tea across the East.  Others will claim that the tea craze got started thanks to the Tiger Sugar line of treats.  In any case, their first location has been something of a dream come true for drinkers in Bangkok.

The tea here may be priced a little higher than that which you’ll find elsewhere in the city.  However, as bubble tea drinkers note, it’s a price worth paying.  The brand name is already enjoyed widely, which means that plenty of people will be willing to make the pilgrimage here.

Bangkok is already home to many curious eateries, cafés and bars.  We have little doubt that this latest venture will take the locals by storm, too.  However, time will tell, as reviews continue to roll into online feedback forums.  Is it worth the trip?  There’s only one way to find out.

Make It an Adventure

Yes – believe it or not, there are thousands of people out there who would willingly visit Bangkok purely for the bubble tea experience!  Visiting Tiger will be a huge deal for a lot of people.  Thankfully, there are plenty of amenities and facilities nearby.  Tiger itself is based in The Market Bangkok, which is a large shopping centre based downtown.

However, if you want to make the most of a trip to Bangkok, you should find somewhere comfy to sleep.  Based near the bubble tea lounge, Centre Point has a location based in Pratunam ready to welcome you.  One of our flagship hotels in Bangkok city, this hotel offers easy access to all the sights and sounds of the area.

If you’re planning a pilgrimage to the tea shop but want to bed down at the end of the evening, we have plenty of space for you to check-in at Centre Point Hotel Pratunam.  We’re proud to offer so many wonderful hotel locations across Bangkok and Pattaya.
