Flood-hit Thailand restaurant becomes dining hotspot
A flood-hit restaurant in Thailand has become an unlikely dining hotspot after fun-loving foodies began flocking to its water-logged deck to eat amid the lapping tide.
Instead of empty chairs and vacant tables the ‘Chaopraya Antique Café’ is as full as ever, offering an experience the canny owner has re-branded as ‘hot-pot surfing’.
A recent severe tropical storm and heavy monsoon rains combined to raise the river’s water level.
The restaurant, in Nonthaburi, near Bangkok, opened in February in a riverside location that perfectly complements its antique architecture and décor.
