Bangkok is waking up earlier than ever. Well before the city traffic builds and office towers fill, Lumpini, Benjasiri and Benjakitti parks are already busy, with runners, walkers and fitness groups - many of whom finish their morning routine with one thing still to tick off - coffee.
That shift could make the arrival of Blue Bottle Coffee particularly timely.
The California-born specialty coffee brand is set to open its first two Bangkok cafes this month, with locations at Dusit Central Park and EmQuartier - both within easy reach of some of the capital’s most popular green spaces.
