SLEEP ENEMY

Serving Great Coffee

If you are feeling slow and sleepy, coffee is
often the first drink you would look for in order to get
rid of the sluggish feeling. Coffee is known to be a fix for
sleepiness, but there is a man who believes there is more
to coffee than just caffeine fix and set out to explore the
intriguing aroma and taste of coffee.
Kiattisak Ariyapakpinyo, the owner of SLEEP
ENEMY, believes that consumers deserve good coffee.
He owned a café in Samui for 5 years before he felt he
wanted to take his coffee and service to another level,
and SLEEP ENEMY was born. “Fundamentally, I am a
coffee lover. It began when I was a kid living in Trang.
My parents drink coffee and there are a lot of traditional
coffee shops there. My dad loves to have a cup of coffee
and Chinese fried dough, and that was the coffee culture
I grew up with. The passion grew stronger as I drink more
and more coffee, and when I have the opportunity to
open a café I just want to do my best. When I discover a
unique taste in coffee, I want to let my customers experi-
ence that special taste too.”
