Kope Hya Tai Kee

Kope Hya Tai Kee is Old Town’s classic Thai-Hainanese breakfast stop, right by the Giant Swing (Sao Chingcha) — a 10-minute tuk-tuk from Khao San Road. Order a strong oliang or cha yen, butter toast with sangkhaya, and soft‑boiled eggs; later in the day, simple rice plates show up. Drinks start around 50 THB; toast/egg sets run 80–120 THB. Old-school shophouse vibe with marble tables and framed photos. Mornings draw temple-goers from Wat Suthat and office staff; by midday it’s students and photographers. Go before 10am to skip the queue on weekends, and try for a window seat facing the swing square.
