117 Bangkok (A1-A2) — Old-Town Shops: A Stand-Up Coffee Bar and a Jewelry Shop

📍 Bangkok.

In 1936, Grandpa Seng opened a little tea-leaf shop with one rule: be honest, and if a customer doesn't like the tea, give the money back. Ninety years on, his grandchildren Kai and Tong have turned that rule into Cha Long, the first Thai tea to win a three-star Superior Taste Award in Belgium, with a new shop on Banthat Thong Road where you can taste before you buy.
