Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked away in the Ta Pek area of Chaloem Phra Kiat District, this small café sits in the vicinity of the famous Phanom Rung Historical Park, making it a convenient stop for travelers exploring one of Buriram Province's most significant Khmer temple sites. Its name — which translates roughly as "Café at Phanom Rung Foundry" — hints at a connection to the local cultural and artistic heritage of the area, giving it a character that goes beyond a typical roadside refreshment stop.
Visitors can expect a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere suited to a quiet break between sightseeing. As a budget-friendly spot, it offers an accessible option for travelers watching their spending without sacrificing a comfortable place to rest. The café operates six days a week, closing on Mondays, with hours running from 9:00am to 6:00pm each open day.

Follow the Crowds

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
