Coffee War
Rob's take
"This unusual café makes for an interesting stop on a day trip beyond Pattaya. The café features a number of old, large aeroplanes that you can stroll around and check out. Inside one is a café that serves a good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices. A must for aviation enthusiasts but fun for everyone else, too. If you are visiting Khao Chi Chan, Silverlake or Nong Nooch Gardens, this place makes for a memorable coffee stop."
Coffee War is a spot to eat or drink in Phlu Ta Luang, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.3★ on Google. Monday 8:30 AM–5:30 PM, Tuesday 8:30 AM–5:30 PM, Wednesday 8:30 AM–5:30 PM, Thursday 8:30 AM–5:30 PM, Friday 8:30 AM–5:30 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM–8:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM–8:00 PM.
Coffee War is a military-themed café and open-air collection built around decommissioned aircraft, one of which has been converted so you can drink your coffee in its business or economy cabin. Around the planes sit vintage military vehicles, fighter jets and war memorabilia, most of which you can get right up close to, plus a BB-gun shooting zone. Open daily, with longer hours at weekends, it makes an unusual stop of an hour or so for photos and a wander.
