Now have holiday in Bangkok in Central World Plaza near SIAM shopping center.
Anything to buy especially the coffee stuff??

Nothing's close to the area that I know of.

Some 'artisanal' place that you can visit via BTS and buy beans from them.

1. Sweet Guilt (just under BTS Phra Kranong Station)
Between Sukhunvit Soil 67 and 69
Operation time is Mon-Sat from 9am to 9pm.
Contact number is 0867960546
Email: theparee@gmail.com

- When you come out from the station, look for the direction to Phra Kanong Post Office. You'll have to walk down the staircase on the left because the right side is escalator coming up. When you reach the ground floor, turn back and walk with the traffic. You will see this shop on your left, with clear pink signage.

I have not tried the following places but look promising

2. Zana�s bean Coffee Suriyasai House

174 Surawong Road, Tel: 02-267-4344
Email: info@zanasbean.com

The shop is in the same complex of Scoozi Pizza which should be more well known so just go to the pizza shop and looks for Zana.

I think you'd better try a short cab ride from the area
