Deserts at the Unicorn Café
Unicorn Café in Bangkok is an enchanting destination that brings visitors into a magical world of vibrant colours and fantasy. This unique café is a haven for unicorn enthusiasts and those seeking a playful, child-friendly experience. The interior of Unicorn Café is a visual delight, decorated with pastel hues, plush unicorn toys, and rainbow-themed decorations. Walls adorned with unicorn murals create a dreamy atmosphere that appeals to both children and adults alike.
