Many people associate the kingdom of Thailand with Tom Village and fruits such as pie, mango and coconut. Thailand is such an attractive food culture country, coffee is also very attractive.

Let's take a look at the coffee culture of the Kingdom of Thailand.

Brilliant change, coffee beans

In fact, in Thailand, coffee cultivation is mainly popular in the north. It may be hard to imagine, but it is actually producing world-renowned high-quality coffee beans.

But there are all kinds of stories behind the coffee planting.

Golden Triangle

Chiang Mai province, famous for producing coffee beans, is known as the "Golden Triangle" along with northern Laos and eastern Myanmar. What is gold is the "golden zone" of "drug smuggling".

To be sure, narcotics cultivation is illegal. However, in those days, this is a very valuable source of income, as long as planting is banned, it will cause a loss of income. Therefore, the Thai royal family began to solve this problem.

Royal project

Coffee beans appeared here, and coffee was chosen as a cultivated crop for alternative drugs. There are two reasons.

One thing is to be able to cultivate forests. The forests of northern Thailand cannot be separated from people, which is not an environmental disadvantage. Therefore, I chose the coffee beans that live in harmony with the forest. Northern Thailand, especially the high mountains, is a convenient place for coffee.

The other is product value. Drugs are bought on the black market, but coffee beans can be earned according to quality. In particular, it is possible to harvest high-quality coffee beans through forest cultivation, so it is expected to increase income.

Doiton and Doi Chan

Thailand has two famous coffee beans, Deuton Coffee and Doi Chang Coffee. In fact, both of them are transformed from the royal anaesthesia breed. Especially for Doiton, it has achieved 99.9% narcotics eradication effect.

How are the cafes in Thailand?

From here, I would like to talk about coffee and coffee drinks in the Kingdom of Thailand. In my impression, the coffee culture in Thailand does not seem to be as developed as in Europe, but in fact, the coffee culture in Thailand is booming.

What kind of culture is it?

Thailand is a country that likes iced coffee.

Thailand is in the tropics, and in Bangkok, even the lowest average temperature is only about 20 degrees Celsius. Even Chiang Mai, in the northernmost mountains of Thailand, has a temperature of more than 10 degrees Celsius.

Because of this, there is not much hot coffee, and cold iced coffee is standard. In China, if it is not specified at the time of purchase, it is hot coffee by default. But in Thailand, iced coffee is the default type of coffee, unless you specify that it needs hot coffee.

What is Aurian?

Thai coffee culture is indispensable to Thailand's authentic "Aurian". Aurian is a mixture of coffee, coffee and cereal. It feels refreshing when it is made into iced coffee.

Street coffee culture

Cafes are often found in urban areas and by the side of the road. Thais like to drink coffee at convenient stalls, just like we buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks and go.

Convenient stall coffee is characterized by its cheapness. For the local Starbucks about 100 baht, the stall coffee can buy 20 to 40 baht.

The coffee culture familiar to Thailand

The Kingdom of Thailand produces coffee at home and can easily use the coffee stalls as vending machines. Although it is different from the relaxing coffee culture in Europe, it is closely comparable to life in Europe.

Unlike Europe, Thailand's coffee culture is also interesting and easy to use.
