It's a flag-flier for local coffee culture and serves a selection of domestically grown brews prepared the Thai way - with plenty of sugar and coconut milk. "In Thailand we think of coffee as a dessert, so we make it sweet and rich," explains Banrie founder, Saichol Payaonoi. He started the company in 1997 with small shops built alongside up-country gas stations, and he now Loh and Behold Avant-garde murals and imaginative furnishings characterise...
