This Aussie-flavoured brunch spot is set on the lush grounds of a mid-century modernist family home that comes with a side of political history (look out for the bullet holes in the brickwork). There’s an art space upstairs and an onsen out back. Founder Mark has also opened a black-box performing-arts theatre nearby.

Getting around Bangkok’s busy neighbourhoods and mazy sois (streets) is a doddle in the back of an electric-powered Muvmi tuk-tuk. Cleaner, quieter and roomier than the Thai capital’s trusty three-wheelers, Muvmi rides are booked via an app, adding convenience and cutting out any awkward haggling. Be sure to download Muvmi while waiting at the luggage carousel in Suvarnabhumi Airport. muvmi.co
