When you need to study or work, getting kicked out at a 5pm closing time can be a bit of a drag. Here are seven great workspaces that stay open late – and even a couple where you can stay all night!
1. Wake Up
Open 24 hours. Big, beautifully designed, brand new space with a Subway sandwich shop attached inside to ensure that you never have to leave.
Nimmanhaemin, Soi 10
2. The Barn
Open until 1am. This lovely, spacious place is hidden away off Suthep Road near Wat Suan Dok. Built from repurposed materials and decorated with an eye for the eclectic, they serve up tasty coffee drinks, pasta dishes and beer in the evenings.
