🎩"Centennial Time Machine Cafe" next to Bangkok's Chinatown! Open the door and travel through the 19th century🎩

#BangkokFoodStrategy Meet this super retro cafe in Bangkok's Chinatown - The Mustang Blu! The building looks like it’s over a hundred years old. The moment you push open the wooden door, you’ll be greeted by walls of stuffed animals, vintage leather sofas, pianos and crystal chandeliers. One second you’re on a busy street, and the next it’s like walking into a Victorian-era European aristocratic mansion. Upstairs is a designer hotel with only a dozen rooms. It used to be a hospital and a bank. Every corner shows signs of time. Those who love to experience it must stay here for a night! The most eye-catching thing in the room is the various animal specimens (said to be the collection of the old grandfather owner). Zebras, antelopes, and cheetahs stand quietly, with dim lights. When the lights are turned off at night, it looks like a scene from "Night at the Museum"! There is a minimum consumption in the cafe (about 200 baht per person), but you can spend the whole afternoon here by ordering a cocktail or afternoon tea. I recommend trying the Thai milk tea with a spice flavor. The food is average, but who cares what you eat here? Raise the camera and you will see great scenes everywhere; even the shabby wallpaper at the corner of the stairs is full of stories! 📍Check-in notes: ☕Store name: The Mustang Blu 📌Address: 721 Maitri Chit Rd, next to Chinatown ⏰Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 (Hotel check-in after 14:00) 💡Tips: • It is recommended to wear retro style clothing (velvet, hats, nostalgic prints), which is perfect for the environment • The balcony on the second floor allows you to take photos of the old buildings and street scenes, which are most beautiful when the sun shines obliquely at 4 pm • If you are brave enough, you can ask the staff to listen to the "past story" of the building. It's a bit creepy but very interesting #Bangkok Secret Place #Retro Cafe #Thailand Historical Buildings #Chinatown Check-in #Designer Hotel #Specimen Art #Time Machine Cafe #Bangkok Nightlife
