Beachy cafe — Restaurant in Bangkok

Bang Khun Thian is an old district a good hour south west of Bangkok. It is one of the major regions of aquaculture that’s filled with lots and lots of prawn farms. There are many big seafood restaurants here and they range from massively trendy ones sitting over water to rustic ones lined along the roadside that have not changed much since the beginning. Just driving along Bang Khun Thian towards the mangrove coastline, one will be spoilt for choice. Beachy Café is one that we been to recently and it has a lot pack into a restaurant. There are walkways over water leading to platforms and pavilions, there are paddle boats and canoes for guest to venture all over their massive pond. Private rooms are available for booking, and there is a stage area for live music in the night. A mini playground lets the young play, and picturesque spots everywhere for social videos and stills. Opening from 9am and closing late into the night at 11pm, this restaurant is suitable for all mealtimes. The Bang Khun Thian region is certainly worth an off the beaten path visit from the urban norm of metro Bangkok. We have been coming here since 20 years ago when the roads were unpaved and got really muddy during the rain. Over the period, this area had developed exponentially and gotten very popular with locals. Now there are gated residential villages, proper roads, convenient stores and several modern cafes. But fortunately, the overwhelming number of traditional farms still dominates the area to preserve the rural country...

Food is very average; the cook seems heavy-handed with the salt, though I had a small spinach pizza that was fresh, cheesy and tasty.

Service was solid and friendly; no complaints at all. They even threw us a 10% discount because it was my girlfriend's "birthday month".

The feature is the atmosphere. All the tables sit on platforms about a meter above a lake.

We drove an hour each way to get there. I wouldn't do that again. All the Thai people I had dinner with agreed that there was better food to be had at similar restaurants, but at the same time, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

They have a variety of frozen drinks, ice cream floats, flavored sodas, etc that was impressive. We each had something different, and every drink was a treat.

Almost forgot... they have Duck shaped paddle boats; my girlfriend's brother in law took his kids for a ride. They also have a sandy playground...

Located about an hour southwest of Bangkok, Bang Khun Thian is a popular aquaculture region, known for its prawn farms and diverse seafood restaurants—from stylish waterside venues to rustic roadside spots. As you head toward the mangrove coastline, countless dining options await. One highlight is Beachy Café, which features walkways over water to pavilions, paddle boats, canoes, private rooms, and evening live music. There’s also a playground and plenty of picturesque spots for photos. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., it’s a great choice for any meal. While the area has modernized with cafes, residential villages, and paved roads, it still preserves its traditional charm with prawn farms and a relaxed, rural vibe.
