The Best Places For Ice Cream In Bangkok
With almost year round hot and brutal weather, Thais are always coming up with unique ways to stay cool. From using umbrellas to block the sun to utilizing heat powder, people are certainly getting creative in order to beat the heat. One way to fight Thailand’s high temperatures is with a large serving of ice cream. The first ice cream machine made its way to the Kingdom during the reign of King Rama V. Ice cream back then was pretty mundane: coconut water blended with ice is all it took to create this treat that was consumed mostly by royals. Today, Thai ice cream is unlike any other dessert in the world. Its creativity reflects in everything, from how it is served to how it is made. There are plenty of cool places in the City of Angels selling the chilliest of desserts. Here, the best places for ice cream in Bangkok.

Farm To Table Cafe
Head to Farm to Table Cafe for some refreshing, organic ice cream. If you love gelato, this is the place to be. This Italian-style ice cream is created and served Thai-style if you will. Visitors can order gelato with soybeans, lod chong (a traditional Thai dessert), and it can even act as a topping to some of your favorite Thai drinks, including a matcha green tea latte. Gelato is this café’s specialty; however, ice cream is not the only thing that Farm to Table Cafe is serving up. This café also has some unique cuisine options, including spinach sandwiches, pork rib over organic rice, and salads, which are a rare find in Thailand.
IceDEA
Ice cream, to some, might be considered merely a dessert. For IceDEA, however, this snack is treated as a work of art. Located within the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre you will find this artistic dessert shop, where there is even a food designer on staff. The flavors certainly do not lack creativity, such as cigarette ice cream, wasabi ice cream, steak ice cream, and 17 more flavors, each one more unique than the last. This conceptual ice cream shop also sells a number of rare treats, including a grass brownie. The shop hopes to create ideas within ice cream, and with flavors like global warming ice cream, we think they have succeeded. IceDEA is located on the fourth floor of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.
