CHARN Cafe & Bistro in Makham Khu, Rayong offers a spacious, laid-back environment that fits well for both casual coffee breaks and relaxed meals. Primarily a cafe and restaurant hybrid, it stands out with a large, airy interior that doesn’t feel cramped even when busy. This makes it a comfortable spot for anyone looking to work on a laptop, meet friends, or simply unwind without the usual hustle of smaller urban cafes.

The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, with plenty of seating options and air conditioning to beat the tropical heat, alongside ample parking that suits those arriving by car or motorcycle. While the location is a bit off the main road, clear signage guides you right to the place, making it easy to find despite its somewhat tucked-away setting.

Visitors often come here for the coffee—especially drinks like Thai milk tea (ชาไทย) and Cafe Latte Macchiato—and the mix of Thai and light bistro-style dishes such as Pad Thai and stir-fried pork with holy basil (กระเพราหมูสับ). The menu leans towards familiar, comforting flavors rather than avant-garde or heavy dining, matching the easygoing vibe of the spot. Prices are generally reasonable, though some find them slightly on the higher side, which is balanced by the comfortable setting and attentive service.

CHARN feels suited to a range of visitors: locals who want a quiet place to work or chat over coffee during weekdays, groups looking for a casual team lunch or meet-up, and travellers passing through who appreciate a break in a thoughtfully arranged environment. Mornings and afternoons, with the soft natural light filtering into the wide interior, seem to be the best times to soak in the calm atmosphere.

A nice cafe with a calm and comfortable atmosphere. The place is spacious, not crowded, and suitable for sitting down to enjoy coffee or work on your laptop.

Definitely worth a visit. I travelled around 40 km on my small motorcycle in order to have a milk tea there. A bit off the main road but a huge sign tells you that you have arrived. The wide building sticks out in that area. Many different areas to have something to eat. My order was ready within a few minutes although there have been many other customers.

A Cozy Dining and Café Experience Today, we had the opportunity to visit a charming restaurant and café that offers a delightful atmosphere alongside a decent cup of coffee. While the coffee itself may be of average taste, the true highlight of this place lies in its spacious and beautifully arranged setting. The thoughtful interior design creates a relaxing and inviting ambiance, making it an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy a leisurely experience. Conveniently located, the café is easily accessible and provides ample parking space, ensuring a hassle-free visit. However, if you plan to drop by during the daytime, be mindful that it can get a bit warm, as the shaded parking areas are somewhat limited. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall experience is pleasant, and the café is certainly worth a visit for those looking to enjoy a cozy and laid-back environment.

Scenic & Cozy restaurant/ cafe in Rayong… ample parking space, nice seating arrangements, great choice of food menus, priced little bit on higher end but worth for the ambiance and taste… good place to have team gathering or casual meeting over cafe / food… worth trying if you are in Rayong.
