BKK Mermaid Castle & Cafe

Being so overwhelmed with my current workload really makes me miss travelling to Bangkok. And yes! It’s one of my favourite travel destinations because everything is so cheap and good over there! I can splurge all I want (somehow..) without putting a hole in my pocket. Bangkok has so many cute and interesting theme cafes, and I’m trying to tick them off my bucket list year by year!

Siam area is a really good place to explore if you’re looking for various types of themed cafes. Unless you have a huge appetite to gobble down so much food in just a day, I suggest you split the cafe-hopping at Siam into two different days.

I initially wanted to visit the Unicorn Cafe but it was quite out of the way. Thankfully I found an alternative which similar to Unicorn theme – girly, colourful and magical! The Mermaid Castle & Cafe is quite hidden in Siam Square which has four storeys filled with nothing but mermaids, mermaids, and more mermaids!

With all the bright funky and glittery colours, taking photos at any corner of this cafe would still be #instaworthy! Nope, no OOTD photos as I didn’t want to

While the food looks pretty tempting, we were already full. Ordering mermaid cupcakes don’t make sense to me as I have made many mermaid cakes/ cupcakes before. So we decided to go for their fanciful drinks for 170 baht each. It’s not the cheapest drink out there, but the portion is quite generous, and for such a pretty design? Take my money!!!

I’m not a fan of strong colouring in my food and drinks so pastel colours like these were still acceptable. The ombre pink to purple tones were also really pretty and I love the gold accents on the turquoise mermaid tail. The frappe was mildly vanilla flavoured and didn’t taste as artificial as I have expected. And of course, I didn’t have a bite of the mermaid tail.

Bf, being the usual chocolate lover, did not hesitate to order the Cocoa Frappe, but the colours will be compromised. Well at least we have 1 pretty photo of my choice of drink!
