Bat Tales Cafe & Restaurant Khaoyai
Inside Bat Tales Cafe & Restaurant Khaoyai
Bat Tales Cafe & Restaurant Khaoyai sits at a quiet corner of Soi Nongkeetun 7, right opposite a well-known bat cave in Pak Chong District. This spot blends the laid-back vibe of a cafe with the fuller dining experience of a restaurant, making it a comfortable stop whether you’re after a strong coffee or a full meal amid nature.
The setting is spacious with ample indoor and outdoor seating tucked within a green garden compound, giving it a relaxed, lightly rustic feel. Visitors often come here in the late afternoon or early evening—not just for the food and drinks but to catch the daily spectacle of bats emerging from the nearby cave. The rhythm of the place shifts gently as the sun lowers, with the bat display starting around 6:25 pm and lasting about 20 minutes. This natural event draws a quiet crowd who linger on the patio, drinks in hand, watching millions of bats stream into the dusk sky.
The menu is diverse, balancing Asian, Thai, and Western dishes without feeling overwhelming. Options like truffle linguine, rack of lamb, and mixed berries pancakes sit comfortably alongside more familiar casual eats such as chicken wings with fries and Caesar salad. Guests who have dined here speak to well-prepared flavors and thoughtful presentation, with some highlighting standout dishes like green curry and fried pork belly with spicy sauce. Specialty coffee and a selection of refreshing drinks, including passion fruit soda and local beers, also feature prominently—a solid draw for both casual coffee breaks and shared meals.
Service feels friendly and approachable, with staff willing to share practical tips like the exact timing to see the bats—something appreciated by travelers and locals alike. The atmosphere blends peacefulness with a touch of wilderness, enhanced by the natural surroundings and a sense of seclusion at the end of the road. Beyond dining, there are also bungalows on site, suggesting a spot for those who want to extend their visit and fully soak in this niche corner of Khaoyai.
Bat Tales Cafe & Restaurant is well suited for visitors looking for a slow afternoon or early evening hangout with something memorable unfolding in the background. It appeals to nature lovers, couples celebrating special occasions, and anyone who enjoys combining a meal with a moment of local wildlife observation. Best times to come are late afternoon onward, when the light softens and the bat activity begins, giving the space a quietly magical atmosphere that feels very specific to this part of Pak Chong.
