Opened in February this year, J-Trend In Love is a bona fide “maid café”, imported straight from Japan (from Tokyo’s famous Akihabara district, to be exact). Owned by a Japanese expat, the cutesy café can be found in Time Square (around Asoke, Sukhumvit 21).

The Thais have always enjoyed reading Japanese comic books (“Doraemon” is an all-time favorite, and now there are countless Japanese comics translated into Thai – “Naruto”, “One Piece” and “Bleach” just to name a few), following Japanese anime series on TV (there was the ancient “Saint Seiya” on TV about a million years ago, as well as Kenshiro, “Dragonball” and “Dragonball Z”) and watching Japanese movies (“Death Note”, “Nada Sou Sou”, “Hula Girls” and let’s not forget that “Nana” and “Nana 2” took Bangkok by the storm a few months ago).

So I guess it was just a matter of time (and a bit of sugar and spice plus copious amounts of pink) that “maid café” would soon follow. Find out more about this relatively new phenomenon in Sukhumvit here http://streetsmartsukhumvit.multiply.com/journal/item/21.
