"Tiao Yong Lee" Old-Style Coffee Shop

"Tia Yong Lee": A Timeless Coffee Shop in a Historic Market

"Tia Yong Lee" is a traditional coffee shop nestled within the Khlong Sib Song Hok Wa Market, also known as Lam Yai Market (or Lam Yong Market by some), in Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province. This market, built with aged wood, once flourished during the era when water transportation was the primary mode of travel. Today, with roads replacing waterways, the construction of shophouses and a fresh market outside has led to an exodus of residents. Consequently, the market has become quiet and desolate over time. Therefore, not only is the coffee here "ancient," but the market, shophouses, and coffee shop itself are equally antiquated, boasting a history of no less than 112 years.

We opened Google Maps and searched for "Tia Yong Lee Coffee Shop, Khlong 12." As we approached, we realized that people who come to this shop must be determined to do so, as it is not on the way to anywhere else. In the market, there were a coffee shop, a papaya salad shop, and a grocery store that were still open. After crossing the bridge, the coffee shop was on the right-hand side, attracting attention with its pink morning glory arch.

Locals call the coffee shop "Kim Chuan Shop". Most customers are locals and cyclists who stop by to rest. We asked the aunt why so many cyclists stopped by (before going to check in on Facebook). The aunt pointed to a picture hanging on the wall, a picture of a group of people taking pictures with their bicycles. It looked like it was taken a long time ago. She said it must be word of mouth among cyclists. If so, it must have been a very long time. We had the opportunity to ask someone who had cycled to the shop. He said that the route there is beautiful, with rice fields on both sides and a good atmosphere. The coffee shop is a great place to stop for a break. Sometimes the owner has bananas available for free. If you like cycling, try stopping by.

This is a truly old-established shop, passed down from parents to children. It's not old because it's decorated in a vintage style.

This market is familiar to those who have watched the Thai drama Thong Neu Kao, as it was the filming location for Lamyai's house. Some even call it Lamyai Market. It has been used as a filming location for many commercials, dramas, and movies, both Thai and foreign, including Thong Neu Kao, Anthaphan Khrong Muang, and most recently, a commercial for a red mobile phone company featuring a boat noodle shop owned by the character of Mor Pee Mai Pope. When we visited, there were people filming there.

Affordable beverages for every taste

This establishment offers a variety of affordable beverages, both hot and cold, for only 10 baht per glass. For those who prefer takeaway, drinks are available in bags for 15 baht or jugs for 20 baht. Customers can customize the sweetness level to their liking.

For a light snack, the shop offers boiled eggs, with two eggs costing 15 baht. Additionally, complimentary tea is available, served in a traditional "gama" pot, allowing for unlimited refills. The coffee is freshly roasted by the owner, ensuring a unique and flavorful experience.

The menu features two unusual items: "No Khao Yen," which is a blend of tea and coffee, and "Jam Ba," which is coffee with soda.

This is my favorite spot: a chair under the bougainvillea arch by the canal. I can sip my coffee and watch the canal under the shade of the flower arch. I applaud the owner for planting it, as it makes the wooden house look vibrant and lively.

The bougainvillea vine climbs up to create shade, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The bougainvillea has a history of surviving the great flood of 2011, but new plants had to be planted to supplement the old ones.

The market still has rooms with residents. I wanted to go in and take a look, but I didn't dare to for fear of disturbing the residents. However, I won't miss out next time because I've made friends with a local who even invited me to visit their home.

Young woman's papaya salad

The name alone is enough to make you laugh. This is a roadside papaya salad stall located opposite a coffee shop. There is no seating, but customers can order and eat inside the coffee shop. The cheerful vendor is a highlight of the market, teasing customers and even her colleagues. Her surprised exclamations are long and often NSFW, the loudest in the market, but they consistently bring smiles and laughter from customers.

Thai papaya salad This is the kind of papaya noodles we like. It's a bit sweet, but it's all gone.

A Culinary Gem: Moo Nam Tok

The Moo Nam Tok stands out as a crown jewel among the dishes, boasting a tantalizingly sour flavor profile that takes center stage without overwhelming the palate with excessive heat. The subtle smokiness from roasted rice adds an intriguing depth to the dish. We couldn't resist ordering two plates of this culinary delight.

Grilled chicken is also excellent, with options for wings, meat, and tail. The chicken meat is very juicy, especially the wings.

Affordable price We have a big set for you, 6 chicken skewers, 4 sticky rice parcels, 1 mortar of Thai papaya salad, 2 plates of waterfall pork, all for 200 baht.

It may be difficult to get there for those without a private car. For those with a private car, you can open Google Maps and you will definitely arrive. After enjoying coffee and the market, you can visit Wat Phitcha Udom for merit-making, which is about 3 kilometers from the coffee shop. Some parts of the road are under repair, so please drive carefully.

The price of food and drinks is very reasonable. The coffee and papaya salad are delicious and exceed their price. The taste reminds me of the past. Although I often drink tea and coffee, and they are much more expensive, they don't give me the same feeling and taste.

To experience the tranquil atmosphere of an ancient community, sit under a bougainvillea archway by the canal and sip coffee roasted by the owner himself. Visit this coffee shop and market before they disappear with the passage of time.
