Plenty of Singaporeans flock to Bangkok every year to get their fill of eating, shopping and sight-seeing.
In recent years, the busy city has been gearing towards "cafe culture", as bigger, better, and more unique cafes pop up all around.
We've come up with a list of five colourful cafes that are all within walking distance of Siam Square One, with the furthest cafe being an 18-minute walk away.
1. Sretsis Parlour
Opened in 2017, Stretsis Parlour is located on the 2nd floor of Central Embassy.

With the tagline "Serving fantasy on a plate", delicious confectioneries, exquisite teas, and whimsical latte art await you at this fairytale-themed cafe.
You're even allowed to purchase any of the cafe ware if you happen to take a liking to it.

The main draw of Stretsis Parlour's menu has to be their coffees, where you can pay 100 baht (S$4.30) extra to get intricately detailed latte art.
The cafe also comes up with new latte art designs throughout the year, so expect to be surprised when you're there.
To top it all off, there is even a pink room that is fashioned like the bedroom of Marie Antoinette at the back of the first floor:

However, as this is the furthest cafe (18-minute walk from Siam Square One) on the list, we suggest making your way there after you've checked out the other cafes.
If you're too lazy to walk, it's two train stops away from Siam BTS station.
