Situated on the 40th floor of Thonglor’s T-One Building, the Paper Plane Project lets guests work for free and escape office drudgery.
“Most people hate to work in their office,” said Watcharakiat Thangjitpudtapong, a company spokesperson. “So, we wanted to provide them with some form of escape here at our place.”
The space ticks all the basic office boxes: light-wood office desks, an abundance of natural light, and comfy chairs.
Deadlines got you down? PPP has a place to recover. Grab a seat on a sofa or lie down on the deckchair while pretending you are on a beach vacay. Your boss and assignments can wait.
Also, who wants to work on an empty stomach? The menu isn’t full of jaw-droppers, but they serve their purpose well: comfort. The all-day breakfast set, dubbed the Paper Plane Brekkie (THB240), is commendable; the scramble eggs are rich and creamy and the accompanying sourdough is tangy enough — not to mention two hefty pork sausages. The pancetta carbonara (THB280) has the right amount of creaminess but we also detect a slight runniness — but not the kind that would cause an uproar with Italian food aficionados. It is far from perfect, but enough to get your work day going.
The drinks here are also quite satisfactory. The brains behind the bar belong to none other than Throntan “Pae” Siriwittayacharoen, who oversees Phrom Phong’s minimalist speakeasy Bar 335 and Thonglor’s Tichuca Bar in the same building.
The house espresso from the popular Karo Roaster starts at THB100, while the latte is THB140. Currently, there are two signature drinks. One is their signature dirty (THB180) which blends raspberry syrup to give a subtle hint of sweet that goes well with the drink. The other is yuzu coffee fizz (THB220), a mix of a clear clarified yuzu juice, citrus cordial, and house coffee.
After 6pm, the fluorescent ceiling lights change color, and this coworking space transforms into a bar. Expect live music while you’re on OT for your taskmaster, or use the lift to enjoy the rooftop view from Tichuca Bar on the 46th floor of the same building.
Paper Plane Project is open 9am to 5pm on Tuesday, and 9pm until 11pm from Wednesday to Sunday. It can be reached via skywalk from BTS Thong Lo.
