Kid Mai Death Awareness Cafe
You can lie in a coffin for a few minutes and contemplate on your life
Don’t let the word ‘death’ in the cafe’s name make you feel depressed or want to commit a suicide. The cafe owner and brainchild Veeranut Rojanaprapa says his death theme conveys a Buddhist philosophy. People should lead a moral life, appreciate simplicity, and be at peace with death. As you walk around the cafe, you’ll see questions like “Are you happy with what you do?” and “What is your goal for which you work so hard?” on framed signs and on walls. The skeletons prop on couches are simple reminders that one day we’ll ALL end up looking like them.
You may also write your last wish, plan your future funeral rites, or learn how to donate your body to medical schools. There is a coffin where you can lie in for a few minutes and contemplate on life, with a hope that once you rise from it you’ll dawn on a new life perspective. If you lie in the coffin, you’ll also get a discount on your drinks.
A skeleton to remind you we will all end up like it one day
TO EAT/DRINK @ THIS CAFE: You may get a cup of typical coffee Last Day (Espresso), One Week Left (Americano), One Month Left (Mocha). Or get their signatures which are non-cofee: Born (Italian soda), Elder (hot chocolate), Painful (jelly, whipped cream, strawberry sauce), and Death (chocolate shake). The price ranges between 50 and 85 THB, very affordable as profit is not the aim of the cafe.
