Burapha University has many food options available around campus. Each faculty has its own building and most of these buildings contain canteens for staff and students to eat at. The International College Canteen has been recently renovated and is now very appealing to students. This canteen is one of few on campus where the menu is in both Thai and English. This is ideal for staff and students who are temporarily studying at Burapha University coming from an English speaking country who do not know how to read Thai.
The International College canteen is a great place to purchase lunch or snacks throughout the day. This is because there are several vendors inside the canteen selling a variety of different goods. There are 4 main vendors inside the canteen. These are: double shake, 45 Cafe, a convenience shop, and a main lunch preparation area.
Double Shake
Double shake is located centrally in the canteen. Here, ice cream, juices, bobo tea, honey toast, ice cream crepes, ice cream pancakes and instant noodles are sold. All items are priced differently but they are resonably priced starting at 20 baht.

They also sell snacks such as backed spinach dip with garlic and biscuits. Smoothies in different flavours are available at this cafe and combos can be made between sandwiches, desert and drinks.

Though this cafeteria sells many snacks and drinks in plastic disposable packaging creating waste, they also serve food on reusable crockery and provide reusable cutlery for staff and students to use. This helps to reduce waste. There are also windows surrounding the cafeteria to help provide natural lighting- thus reducing energy consumption by reducing electric light use.
This particular canteen is open weekdays from 7am - 4pm
