Thai Samakkhi Shop, Nakhon Phanom
#Cafe Review
Thai Samakkhi Restaurant, Nakhon Phanom
Address - Located next to the Nakhon Phanom Thai-Vietnamese Clock Tower, Chayangkun Road, Tambon Nai Mueang, Amphoe Nai Mueang, Nakhon Phanom Province
Atmosphere of the place - This is a newly opened shop. Parking is available on the side of the road, including the Indochina Market or the Nakhon Phanom Kham Muon Pier.
Originally, Thai Samakkhi Restaurant was a grocery store and tea shop located in the middle of the Thai-Vietnamese community next to the Mekong River.
This shop has not been open for many decades. Now, the younger generation has opened it as a half-cafe and half-restaurant. The shop's structure is still the same but has been renovated. The lower floor is made of old cement, while the upper floor is made of wood. There are tables on both floors of the shop. On the upper floor, there is a balcony extending out of the shop, offering a high angle view of the clock tower area. The shop's decoration is a perfect blend of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese styles. The shop offers many coffee and non-coffee drinks. There are no desserts or Siam ice cream, which is the shop's signature, called Tim Siam. My choice of the menu is the Caramel Macaron, which is fragrant and mellow.
The shop is decorated with the history of the shop since it was built. And there is also an original shop sign decorated on the wall.
Since the shop opens in the evening, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays there will be a walking street in the shop area. You can line up on the balcony on the 2nd floor.
Highlights - The shop has a photo spot on the balcony on the 2nd floor where you can see the Thai-Vietnamese clock tower. There is also a corner where you can see the Mekong River. There are photo spots both inside the shop and outside where there is a zebra crossing on both sides of the shop where you can take photos and see the shop.
Price - Drinks start at 85 baht.
Score - 8.5/10
The shop opens from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Open every day.
