An ordinary life in an extra-ordinary place
The Coffee Club
Spike doesn’t cook. I can’t do it and when I try I don’t enjoy it and the result is inevitably not recognisable as food and completely inedible.
But this is not a problem in Thailand. You can obtain a meal more cheaply that you could buy the ingredients; so why risk poisoning yourself?
Monday to Friday I go out for my lunch. I have some regular haunts that I cycle through, costing 40 baht and upwards for a stomach filling meal. Today I went to The Coffee Club in the Royal Garden Plaza. A little more expensive than normal, but it is a very pleasant place to eat. Their Turkish bread sandwiches are excellent, as is their coffee. And the coffee is even more attractive because it comes free with a meal. The service is attentive, although having three separate people come up to me and ask if all was OK was at least two more than I needed.

Going through your ‘black and white’ period at the moment – or is your camera stuck in a mode?

I am feeling very retro right now. There is another reason, but I need to write about it.

Did you walk cool in the fifties Daddy, was it all black and white?; did you play jazz all night, was it really so wonderful?
Apols to Jagger, Primitive Cool, title track
Clearly a time for reflection, written or otherwise

heh yeah I’m an Aussie so that’s just another shop that’s migrated here that I used to visit weekly back home – another is boost juice that’s just opened in Central…
coffee club is great, lots of them in Australia are open till 2-3 am, good place to get a good feed and coffee when you’re a late night worker like me…
