CUM Cafe at the Office is a beautiful upscale cafe in the heart of Thonglor, making it a solid place to lock in if you're staying in Bangkok's richer part of town.

The internet is good enough rather than blazing fast, clocking in at 39.06 Mbps down and 39.14 Mbps up, and each drinks purchase buys you 2 hours of wifi time.

Background music and conversation keep it from being the quietest spot, so headphones and a white noise app are recommended for maximum lock-in.
