Take IG-worthy shots of you standing on giant lotus lilies from ฿350
While most cafes scurry to show off their impressive food and drinks menu – don’t worry, we will get to that later – the most unique trait of Ma Doo Bua Cafe has to be their on-site photography services.
Starting from ฿350/pax, you can snap gravity-defying pictures of yourself standing on one of the giant lotus lily pads at the cafe.
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous and in search of something different, you can opt to have a professional drone shot taken of you and bae lying on a boat, right in the centre of this beautiful lotus lily pond.
However, don’t worry if you have no boo to travel with. Even as a solo traveller, these drone shots taken at the cafe make for absolutely stunning solo pics as well.
While some might consider these photographs absolutely priceless, some visitors have also decided to DIY their own photoshoots there.
Undoubtedly, with some hard work, creativity and intense angling… some of our fellow travellers have left the cafe with gorgeous shots of themselves.
Now that you’ve checked out the IG potential of Ma Doo Bua Cafe, this next section is for our foodies.
Quirky drinks like Tom Yum Soda to match the aesthetic
