#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck 🍰BAANKHAOFAE Baan Khao Fee 🍰A super cute cafe that is pet-friendly. When you enter the shop, a fluffy golden retriever will come out to greet you. 🍰The shop is located next to Baan Mak Muang. There is a wooden bridge connecting them. 🍰The shop has a variety of drinks and bakery menus. They are very delicious and not expensive compared to other cafes in Khao Yai. 🍰The shop has 2 floors. There is both an indoor area in a wooden house and an outdoor area under the trees in the mango garden. It feels like having a picnic in the middle of a mango garden. 🍰The shop opens from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Closed every Tuesday. #MustVisitCafe #CafeWithRelaxingAtmosphere #KhaoYai

#Get a discount without relying on luck 🥭Baan Mak Muang, Khao Yai, Nakhon Ratchasima Province 🥭It's quite easy to get to, the road is good, not rough, located in an alley not far from the main road, Thanarat Road. 🥭It's a cafe that gives a very homey feeling, like visiting a relative's house in the province. The cafe is a wooden house with 2 floors, the tables and chairs are made of wood, the view of the cafe is a mango orchard. 🥭Every menu in the shop will have mango as an ingredient. We recommend the mango sticky rice and mango ice cream, they are very delicious. Most importantly, the price is not expensive at all. 🥭The shop opens from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed every Tuesday. #Must-visit cafe #Khao Yai
