Khok Kloi has some excellent coffee shops. Any listing of the best coffee shops in Khok Kloi is, of course, going to be subjective, but here are our personal favourites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. SUKr Coffee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Interior<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We used to rate Asterisk Espresso as the best coffee shop in Khok Kloi but since SUKr opened its new caf\u00e9 in late 2025 (it used to be only a takeaway coffee place) we now rate that as our favourite because their coffee is as good as Asterisk, their prices are lower, and they have a range of light meals available. The new caf\u00e9 is not as architecturally appealing as Asterisk, but it\u2019s fully airconditioned with comfortable seating. SUKr has three coffee bean blends available. and a wide range of lattes, teas, matchas and mochas in addition to regular coffees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2006 prices update:<\/strong> Espresso 50, Americano 50-80 (depending on blend), Flat White 60, Cappuccino 70, Latte 60, Iced Latte 60, Iced Caramel Latte 80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to SUKr from Natai Garden Retreat turn left at the end of our private road and follow the Ban Don \u2013 Ban Natai road around to Natai Village. Turn right when you reach the T-junction in the centre of the village and then follow that road around to the small bridge over the river just after the mosque and Lantala Residence. Go over that bridge and when you reach the crossroad on the Khok Kloi Junction \u2013 Natai Pier road, go straight across and head parallel to the beach until the road bends around to the left. Turn right onto the empty four-lane highway at that bend (watch out for motorbikes cutting the corner on that bend) and then turn left at the end of that 1km-long highway. That will take you down to the traffic lights on the main Phuket \u2013 Khok Kloi road (you will see Fashi restaurant on your right and the new BYD showroom under construction on your left). Turn right at the lights (but watch for drivers from the right jumping the red light) and then you will see SUKr a couple of hundred metres on your right as you head towards Phuket. It\u2019s right opposite the main gate of Kajonkiet Khokkloy School. There\u2019s a U-turn slot there where you can cross to the right hand side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Asterisk Espresso<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many will still rate Asterisk as the best coffee shop in Khok Kloi because it has four coffee bean blends to choose from and an appealing Japanese-style interior in a wooden building that is surrounded by calming stands of green and black bamboo. The flavour and balance of their coffee blends are as good as any in town and we buy our fresh coffee beans there if ever we run out of our supply of freshly roasted beans from 23 Roasters in Krabi. However, they don\u2019t make their flat whites at the right temperature (so you\u2019ll need to ask for \u201cextra hot\u201d if you are drinking flat whites). They also have a small selection of cakes, pastries and sometimes sandwiches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2006 prices update:<\/strong> Espresso 80, Americano 80, Flat White 80, Cappuccino 80, Latte 80, Iced 90, extra shot +30, soy, almond or oat milk +20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to Asterisk, follow the same directions as to SUKr, but keep going after you pass SUKr on the right. When you reach the big three-way junction just after the bus station (on the left) where the highway goes left to Krabi and right to Phuket, turn left and head towards Krabi. You will see Asterisk on your left about a kilometre along on your left. When you leave Asterisk, the quickest way back to Khok Kloi is to take the first road on the left after Asterisk, and that will bring you back to the traffic lights by Fashi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Zigma Espresso<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Zigma is a little smaller than Asterisk, it serves good coffee with three selections of beans on offer (but they do not sell whole beans) at similar prices in a sleek and modern airconditioned coffee shop. They don\u2019t have flat whites on the menu, but their hot latte is close to a flat white (albeit a little larger). However, like Asterisk, they don\u2019t serve it at a high enough temperature, so you\u2019ll need to ask for it \u201cextra hot\u201d. Zigma often has a small selection of cakes too. Prices are around the same as Asterisk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to Zigma, turn right at the end of our private road and follow the Ban Don \u2013 Ban Natai road along through Don Village keeping the temple on your right. When you reach the main highway, turn left and then do a U-turn about 100 metres up the highway so that you are heading back towards Khok Kloi town. You will see Zigma a couple of hundred metres on your left just after the Thailand Postal Service sorting office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ruen Mai Kaen (aka the Bakery Coffee Shop)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An old-style family-run Thai coffee shop\/bakery that serves good coffee with the company of a friendly cat. Although it looks like a traditional Thai coffee shop, it has a commercial espresso machine and serves coffee on a par with Zigma (but only one selection of beans). It\u2019s not air-conditioned but the high wooden ceilings keep it cool. There is a good selection of fresh bakery items. Prices are around the same as SUKr Coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to the Bakery Coffee Shop on a bicycle or motorbike, follow the same directions as to Zigma, but when you reach the highway, instead of turning left, dismount and turn right, pushing your bike on the side of the road. The coffee shop is the second building from the end of the road. If driving a car, you will need to turn right at the temple instead (Wat Don) and follow the road down past the hospital to the 7-Eleven on the main highway, then turn left there and come back up the highway in the direction of Khao Lak until you see the coffee shop just before archway at the end of the Ban Don \u2013 Ban Natai road (you will see Zigma on your right when you are getting close).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
