If you crave petit fours and mint cake at four, the Vieng Joom On Teahouse is where you have to go. When you first arrive, you pass through the teashop, but before you shop, take a seat at one of the Ping riverfront tables or in the cool comfort of the elegant, second-floor sitting room and slowly sip your freshly brewed tea in between small bites of the sandwiches and pastries. Once your hunger and thirst have been satisfied, browse the fragrant shop that stocks a wide collection of pots and filters in addition to as many as 50 blends of tea all dispensed in the teahouse’s specially designed paper bags and tins.
