Soi Wang Hin

Our street, Soi Wang Hin, is on the up and up!  Over the past few months, Soi Wang Hin has had a series of new additions and upgrades: 

- The restaurant that we go to right across the street upgraded the kitchen and tables and added in a karaoke stage and new t.v's.
- The sweets/ shakes shop on our corner, which opened in September, is doing extremely well and one can't ignore the bright pink walls and nicely tiled floor.
- A new higher-end clothing shop just opened up around the corner.
- A new laundry service place also recently opened up around the corner.
- The private home/ convenience store on our corner has now upgraded to a mini-street restaurant as well, with two tables.
- A high-end organic food and bath products shop opened up just down the street.
- And just the other day, a new cafe - D.D. Cafe opened up across the street.  It serves coffee, cookies, tea and ice cream.  We stopped in today to say hello, and it turns out that it is owned by a Canadian woman and her Thai husband.  It is very Western looking inside and the sister-in-law, who runs the day-to-day operations speaks fluent English.  They also are now running an English Learning Center there.  The sign and menu are in English and inside there are couches, tables and wall decorations that make me think I could be in a boutique coffee shop in NY.
