Less than 2km from my house on the edge of nowhere is a cotton enterprise on quite a large plot well out of town. Two years and never having been in (why would I?) I was overtaken by a fit of boredom and I recently stopped by for a look. It is levels above the other Thai cotton places I have seen. They have some very fancy frocks, they have a Bangkok outlet and do the top fashion shows, it seems. I didn't look at prices.
It turns out they have a coffee shop on site, usually empty, clean and tidy with very acceptable coffee. While I say 'usually empty' I find it is on the circuit for tourists of the more mature and well-heeled set, so occasionally I get some warm smiles along with my espresso. This is becoming an afternoon ritual.
First a cocktail bar and now a hi-so coffee shop. Who knows what other delights await?
