If you’ve been to Bangkok, or indeed anywhere in Thailand, you’ll know that there is a huge thirst for tea! Not just any tea, however. Bubble milk tea is something of a speciality that’s been circulating out east for some time now. In some cases, you can sample it in Europe, but for the authentic taste of sweet, milky dessert drinks, you’re going to need to head to the Friday Tea Stand.
The Friday Tea Stand is a curiously-named tea bistro which you'll find out in Thonglor. It's based on J Avenue, which is at the heart of the district, certainly where it is at its busiest! Therefore, if you're already out shopping or sightseeing, it's always easy enough to pop in for some sweet tea at your leisure. But what is it about Friday's that makes it so popular?
Friday Tea Stand: Open All Week
Friday’s is becoming a big name in downtown Bangkok, not only thanks to the delicious menu of treats and goodies on offer, but also thanks to the freshness of the ingredients. Friday stands as a competitor to other popular tea brands in the city. For example, you may have already sampled Tiger Sugar. You may even have checked out Fire Tiger out in Chidlom.
However, Friday Tea's treats are entirely different. Proud to be brewing drinks made from natural ingredients, while you'll always get a sweet kick from their tea, you at least know it's not all coming from an artificial place. Far from it. The brand strives to create 'rich and authentic' flavours.
Therefore, any true fan of bubble tea, or anyone keen to try it, will likely find Friday’s to be a great place to relax. As mentioned, you’ll easily spot it on J Avenue. If you’ve never sampled sweet eastern tea before, now’s your chance.
An Online Following
Friday Tea Stand may sound like a small, humble establishment. It's certainly humble! However, with thousands of fans online, it's a brand that's well-known across the city. Their spectacular cold brew coffees, for example, have people flocking from far and wide.
Dessert lovers will also want to check out their Belgian Black Forest drink. It's inspired by the rich, fruity pudding treat, and the taste is almost identical! You'll want to follow Friday's on both Facebook and Instagram to check out their latest concoctions and goodies.
What's also interesting about Friday's is the cultural décor. It's styled with Japanese culture in mind. This is hardly surprising, as bubble milk tea is a phenomenon that has already swept across Japan. In any case, it's nice to see such diversity on the streets of Thonglor!
Exploring Thonglor
As mentioned, Friday's is based in a very central location in one of Bangkok's most fashionable districts. That means you'll be able to explore the wider area for its shops and attractions before popping in for a drink. It's located near public transport, too. Bangkok may seem somewhat complex to get around at first; however, you'd be surprised at just how convenient some of the transport services are!
If you’re heading to Bangkok for an extended stay, be sure to check into a hotel or serviced apartment in the heart of the city. Centre Point Serviced Apartments Thonglo is close to all the action. Easily pop into to check into a comfy room, and check out again to go adventuring.

Brew Up The Bubbles
If you're new to bubble tea, or just want to try out some new flavours, head down to J Avenue. Friday Tea Room is a lovely little location which is well-regarded online. It's a nice break from some of the other tea specialists in the area. What's more, you may want to sample some sweet treats while checking out savoury cuisine elsewhere in the city. Bangkok has tons to offer in terms of sights, tastes and smells – why not head on down to Thonglor?
