Gump's Ari

Gump’s Ari is a small, deliberately photogenic outdoor space that doubles as a barometer for whatever cafe, kiosk or pop-up trend is currently having a moment in Ari. Selfie booths, rotating coffee stands and the odd short-term concept keep the place changing often enough that any fixed description risks ageing quickly – which is partly the point. Come for a coffee, a few photos and a quick read of what the neighbourhood is into right now. 

Crowd: Ari cafe-hoppers, day-trippers, remote workers and pop-up chasers

Vibe: bright, transient and always slightly different from your last visit

Ari 4, Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400. Hours vary by vendor; generally daytime through early evening
