Thailand Travel: Enjoy excellent mangoes and river breeze at MakeMeMango!

Introducing MakeMeMango and travel to Thailand: Mango Heaven in Bangkok

Thailand is Southeast Asia’s leading tourist powerhouse, with the bustling temples of Bangkok, the historical culture of Chiang Mai, and the beautiful beaches of Phuket drawing visitors from around the world. 39 million people will visit the country in 2023, and its rich food culture is popular. MakeMeMango is a mango specialty cafe located near Tha Tian Pier in the Old City along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The stylish interior of the three-story building is a favorite among tourists. For more information, please visit MakeMeMango’s official website and Facebook page. Tourist information on Thailand can be found at the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Chao Phraya River ferries can be viewed at the official Chao Phraya Express website, and sightseeing in the area can be viewed at the official Bangkok Tourism website. On this visit, we enjoyed the ferry ride and the mangoes from MakeMeMango.

Ferry Ride: Adventures on the Chao Phraya River

A family of three planned a trip to Thailand and took the Chao Phraya River ferry to MakeMeMango, boarding the orange flag ferry (40 baht per section, about 160 yen) at Sathorn Pier from Saphan Taksin BTS station. The 10-minute ride to Tha Tian pier was like an attraction with the wind and rocking of the river, and both children and adults were very excited. According to research, the Chao Phraya Express is used by about 40,000 people a day and runs every 10 to 15 minutes for tourists. In my case, I planned to visit Wat Pho and Wat Arun as well, so the ferry is efficient; as a tip, an unlimited one-day pass (150 baht, about 600 yen) is a good deal and avoids rip-offs. Check the timetable on the official website and prepare a folding umbrella for the rainy season (July). This move made the trip more adventurous.

Atmosphere at MakeMeMango: Harajuku-style stylish space

MakeMeMango opens at 10:30. We arrived at Tha Thian pier a little early and waited while enjoying the view of the Chao Phraya River. The store is a stylish three-story Harajuku-like structure with a mezzanine floor and net beds. The interior is decorated in a lovely yellow color scheme and mango motifs. According to our research, the restaurant is an old store house in the old town that has been renovated and seats up to 50 people and is popular with tourists. In my case, I had a window seat on the second floor with a view of the river and relaxed with my family.Tips: The mezzanine floor is empty at 10:30, right after opening, and is the best place to take Instagram photos. Free Wi-Fi is available for comfortable social networking posts. This atmosphere made our trip special.

Iced Coffee Delicious: A Refreshing Start

I ordered an iced coffee (150 baht, about 600 yen). The rich espresso aroma and refreshing aftertaste were perfect for the Thai heat (over 30°C). It was refreshing before my mango meal. According to our research, MakeMeMango uses locally grown coffee beans and is rated as high quality. In my case, my kids enjoyed the mango juice (120 baht) and we toasted as a family.Tips: request less sweetness and it can be adjusted to your liking. The trick is to drink it early, before the ice melts. This coffee was a colorful start to the meal.

Taste of Mango: Harmony of fresh sourness and sweetness

We ordered the famous mango sticky rice (175 baht, about 700 yen) and mango binshe (265 baht, about 1,060 yen). The mangoes were of the Nam Dok Mai variety, with a moderate acidity and juicy sweetness. The freshness of the pulp was a unique Thai attraction. According to research, Thailand is the world’s third largest producer of mangoes, and Nam Dok Mai is characterized by its sweetness and aroma. Binsh is layered with mango ice cream and fruit and has a bright appearance.Tips: Mangoes are in season from March to June, but MakeMeMango is high quality all year round. If you share with several people, you can try a variety of menu items. These mangoes showed me the depth of Thailand’s food culture.

Sticky Rice’s New Experience: Sweet Rice Surprises

Mango sticky rice is characterized by blue butterfly pea colored sticky rice and coconut milk. This “sweet rice” is rare in Japan, but the flavor of the savory coconut is perfectly balanced with the tartness of the mango. According to our research, sticky rice is a traditional Thai dessert, and MakeMeMango uses locally grown rice and fresh coconut. In my case, my kids were surprised by the “sweet rice” and finished the dish; as a tip, taste small portions so you don’t get bored. Order a smaller portion for your child. This new experience taught me how unique Thai food culture is.

Overall satisfaction: Harmony of mango and river breeze

The delicious mangoes and stylish atmosphere at MakeMeMango left a lasting impression on me. The ferry ride and views of the Chao Phraya River added to the adventure of the trip, and next time I want to try their mango smoothies and other desserts. According to our research, MakeMeMango is one of the top mango specialty stores in Bangkok; as a tip, a budget of 2,000 baht per person is sufficient. Note: This information is based on personal experience; tastes and environments vary depending on the time of year.

Private Wisdom-like Summary

The mango experience at MakeMeMango is a hearty combination of Thai food and river breezes. My personal wisdom is that the key is to take the ferry, visit just after opening, and share the sticky rice. The stylish space and the sweetness of the fruit quietly teach you about the richness of travel.
