What is “Café Hopping” in Thailand?

Café Hopping, with its origins in Singapore, refers to the practice of visiting several different cafés in a single outing and is growing in popularity throughout the region and the world. As café culture spreads from its main origins in Europe, more and more entrepreneurs are creating establishments with their own very distinct character and service offerings. As a snapshot of the café culture in Thailand, you can expect to find cafés with Japanese, Korean, European and traditional Thai themes. Although Café Hoppers will have their own favourite café or café theme, they are a genre of people who embrace the atmosphere of cafés and effectively put them on the map and encourage others to visit.

The typical Café Hopper, aside from being a coffee/tea lover, will also be an avid photographer, who is eager to capture original or quirky design styles and publish them on social media and in specialist publications. Finding new and interesting cafés with outstanding beverages and original design ideas is what every Café Hopper quests for, and if it meets with their approval can result in increased exposure for the café and an upturn in customers as a result. To become a fully-fledged café hopper, you will need to understand and enjoy café culture and be eager to visit establishments wherever they may be. Café Hoppers staying at any Centre Point hotel are welcome to ask staff about their favourite cafés and any other cafés of note in the area.
