ไอติมกะทิ เมืองกรุง Mueng Krung Coconut Icecream
Terminal 21 Asok 5th Floor Pier 21Sukhumvit 19, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Mueng Krung does not try to be anything other than what it is. The ice cream is rich, smooth, and cold in a way that earns its reputation as one of Pier 21's most-visited stalls. The coconut shell presentation is old-school Bangkok street food logic brought indoors. At 15 baht entry-level pricing, there is no credible reason to skip it.
You walk off the escalator onto the fifth floor of Terminal 21 Asok, into Pier 21's air-conditioned sprawl, and stall No. 28 is exactly what the signage promises: a single-product counter serving traditional Thai coconut ice cream. The moment the scoop lands in the coconut shell, you notice the texture — dense, milk-forward, smooth without being icy. Young coconut lines the inside of the shell as the base, the ice cream sits on top, and the whole thing is cold enough to cut through the ambient warmth of the food court floor even if the AC is doing its job. It is a straightforward handover: order, pay via card, collect.\n\nThe menu at stall No. 28 covers coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell, fresh coconut juice jelly, and options to add toppings including peanuts, sweet corn, and sticky rice. Prices start at 15 baht, which places this at the bottom end of even Bangkok food court pricing. The ice cream itself is described in Pier 21 reviews as rich, smooth, and genuinely cheap — attributes that have kept the stall consistently busy during peak food court hours.\n\nOne practical point that applies to every stall in Pier 21, including this one: the food court operates entirely on a prepaid stored-value card system. You cannot pay with cash or a bank card at the counter. Card-loading cashiers are stationed at several points around the food court perimeter near the entrance areas. If this is your first visit to Pier 21, budget an extra two minutes to find a cashier, load whatever you expect to spend, and collect the card before you queue at any stall. The card is refundable at the end of your visit if you have remaining balance. This is standard operating procedure for the food court and is not specific to Mueng Krung.\n\nThe Asok BTS station connects directly to Terminal 21 via covered walkway. No street crossing required. Toilet facilities are on the floor. Takeaway is available if you want to carry the ice cream elsewhere, though the coconut shell makes that a two-handed operation.
