I arrived at my younger sister’s house around **5:40 PM**, just in time to settle in before an exciting day ahead.* *The next morning marked the **grand opening** of her café, and from the moment the sun rose, we were **incredibly busy**. Despite all the careful preparations, the first day was still filled with **unexpected chaos**—but that’s all part of the adventure, right?* ☕🎉 ![IMG_20250308_071149.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQJmbuHhNqZjH6rTgxoVkDEPGm6DY2v7Mrevc5CYdiLHY/14608f603ee8d1b159d6a723e047bcc3fcbaa5ac.jpg) *My younger sister was **beyond proud** to see her café finally come to life. At the front, a sign proudly displayed the name **"Tiew Ruea Rim Moei & Café."*** *As for the flowers blooming beneath the sign? **That was my personal touch!** 🌸 The evening I arrived, I planted them as a **warm welcome** for the café’s grand opening. Seeing them in full bloom on the first day made the moment even more special.* 💛✨ ![IMG_20250308_071159.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf8zCP3NXCBGrwdw9BKPu5r4kmduBLmSBgQgghe9CFwJz/099d6a47fddfcf2ac504cd3a0d2215994b96336e.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_071226.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbheGtgCT7sge42YFWGYR9Vj4VfgRDnHRfq5MnXhBE5nP/dc24d824dde5ae2f121b479479fa1d807cb93b24.jpg) *We started preparing as early as **5 AM**, making sure everything was set up in time for the grand opening. With so many last-minute tasks, we didn’t want to risk any delays!* *The café officially opened its doors at **8:00 AM**, running until **6:00 PM**. By the time we reached opening hour, everything was finally **ready to go**—and the excitement was in the air!* ☕✨* ![IMG_20250308_085225.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeAsPYjVEvY6kpwp93HQc1eE9mCFYe4jbb3KFnP1Wc4gN/8dd7411fcbd805831a23d1fd7454b7cbbc265c89.jpg) *Despite the morning rush, I couldn’t help but admire how **beautifully decorated** the café was. The front entrance was adorned with **colorful handcrafted ornaments**, adding a charming cultural touch to the space.* *The wooden walkway leading to the café was lined with **vibrant purple flowers**, which I had planted the evening before. Seeing them in the morning light made me smile, knowing they were now part of this special place.* 🌸✨ *The decorations didn’t stop there!

The seating areas were arranged thoughtfully, allowing visitors to enjoy the **peaceful scenery** while sipping on their drinks. Whether you prefer a **quiet corner with a book** or a **window-side seat with a view**, this place has something for everyone.* 🌿🪟 ![IMG_20250308_094556.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcLKef5TAoghjWcjpHDXZkuSYCKPQqro3hERyvUHfgPPD/298e500a2c7c3eaecbc7bc78e1df26083c4cce1e.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_094604.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUKR9xNNR2NRHPs6nrkyxE5xwaQyaoqZDefVGPxBuJEhW/1ccabeecba400adb5aa239f04ffe5ef9da7b0723.jpg) *One of my favorite things about this café is the combination of **exposed brick walls, large glass windows, and wooden flooring** created a perfect blend of **modern and rustic charm**. The natural light streaming in made the space feel **bright and inviting**—a perfect spot to sit back and relax.* ☕✨ ![IMG_20250308_152348.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXxAK1f7WuQG9J2poLDGG8aHtqxuecM2qtd8oLXtHqYzr/e486d52a21f5cc91be702f298d5a33d2fbe2156d.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_152419.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR2tS4Mpgn4HqDTiiBvuHegYL99v5iBE4V7DFSV9GjuGP/11340e8d828702725bacbc3a804cf10a316355e7.jpg) ![IMG_20250307_091648.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWEwM6GoAw3r8Z52PBasB9oiDQUjKrxmvT2NWin4Ez7jK/dfd874f9e1a9bfb7c533a1caf417e1b2ca8b823d.jpg) *On the **first day of the grand opening**, many customers who had heard about the café from the **Facebook page** came by to show their support. Most of them were **friends and acquaintances** of my younger sister, making the day feel even more special. The café was bustling with energy, and we barely had time to catch our breath!* *By the time we finally got a chance to rest, it was already **late afternoon**. And this? This was my **very first drink of the day**—only after the rush had settled down.* ☕😆 ![IMG_20250308_084304.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVstr1Uj89WZ47K7KDnodoxDEnSLQAJQTqPzJno5RvCSz/e4fce6ce7432cc4bf7925a75729eff8d58f68cb6.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_084250.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma4SMaav4EhYLs2gpCDKhw6o8fNGNRPPRpvFTFMwsGba7/bec38d2d6020a043002267f1f1d3fc2e23d04e5a.jpg) *The **signature dish** of this café is **boat noodles**—a dish that holds a special place in my heart. My younger sister and I used to sell boat noodles together **years ago in Phuket**, before we eventually stopped and she moved back to her hometown in **Tak** to pursue other work.* *And now? **We’re back at it again!** 🍜✨ It felt nostalgic to see this dish being served once more, bringing back so many memories. The best part? **The taste remains just as delicious as ever!*** 😋💛 ![IMG_20250308_084257.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZQLoG8CxBLqbMvyDEpbB69ar9vqUrsZ3M9hcfmdcgQGC/6e7f780d531a8a35779baa8b461a02c7bd58b0e9.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_081904.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZQ8qqHU4ZevfARbDCuCu2ZoGL92FM6vNxnGSh7xRR4Rc/d5de28b9dc7fd8c8e454bb6fd021c49f6b12281c.jpg) *After finishing my bowl of boat noodles and with no more customers around, I decided to **explore the lower area** of the café. During the **rainy season**, this spot is usually filled with water, as it sits along the path of the **Moei River**, which serves as a natural border between **Thailand and Myanmar**.* *However, during the **dry season**, the water recedes, revealing an open space. My younger sister made the most of it by building **small seating huts** and a **swing**, creating a peaceful spot for customers who want to enjoy the **natural surroundings**.* 🌿⛺✨ ![IMG_20250308_081613.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbJSN8TY61jE43HcY7bRydtaw5UtvMXg6jqAXC1bME5sC/56acbe5715562dc1738c194df683697888e504c2.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_081651.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaoFBHxJMUwbMycQ9jFzyYibWXPq4ao5g75ux7HNT1K6h/8b3a3ac53191e562f9a9187af371059a267a2ea2.jpg) ![IMG_20250308_081723.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme2bxFxrhKKnXV6tAHDjqgZScbmdUAmhgDkWdaPCD4AcW/31a3a6bf1df65d750dabf0fe1a75af1760e0283a.jpg) *As I peaceful view, I felt a deep sense of **gratitude**. Seeing my sister’s dream come to life, surrounded by nature and the warmth of family, made me appreciate the journey that led us here.* *The gentle breeze, the sound of birds in the distance, and the golden light of the afternoon created the perfect ending to a long, fulfilling day. Sitting there, I thought about how much love and effort had gone into building this place—not just as a café, but as a **gathering spot** filled with memories waiting to be made.* *Before heading back, I took one last look around, capturing the **moment in my heart**. Whether it's the comforting bowl of **boat noodles**, the beautiful café setting, or the peaceful riverside seating, this place is **more than just a business—it’s a home**. And I can't wait to come back again.* ![IMG_20250308_081656.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPezyvA5KLyxtoDY8XxyBWY88WZFMeh9FfMHMaRRzctkh/a1e54b078e4abbe2f83cc33c21845266a6108253.jpg) https://www.tiktok.com/@beautifulday5335/video/7479269069129108756 [//]:# (!steematlas 16.4519852 lat 98.6583325 long Opening Day at 🇹🇭 Tiew Ruea Rim Moei & Café! 🎉🍜 d3scr) _{[🌸 My Achievement 1 post: Greetings from Phuket 🏝️ Thailand 🇹🇭](/@baiboua/achievement-1-greetings-from-phuket-thailand)} *If you enjoyed joining me on this journey, please don’t forget to:* - ***ReSteem** this post if you think your friends would enjoy it too!* 💖😊 - ***Follow** me to stay updated on my next adventures* 🚶‍♀️🌏 - ***Comment** below to share your thoughts or tell me about your own experiences!* ✨ *Sawadee kha!* 🙏💛 @Baiboua
