Chiang Mai, located in northern Thailand, is one of the popular tourist hotspots in recent years. Apart from the rich history of Buddhist temples and beautiful scenery, what visitors like is ── coffee, which represents the local leisurely life and culture. Based on the continuous expansion of the coffee industry in Thailand's second largest city in recent years, efforts have been made to develop from production, baking to trade and retail, which has deepened the relationship between coffee and Chiang Mai and become a local proud cultural feature.

Thailand's main coffee bean is Arabica, while Chiang Mai in northern Thailand is one of the few cities in the country with a relatively cool climate. It does not have to withstand extremely hot weather for at least one or two months a year, so hot coffee and frozen coffee are also popular in the local market.

When it comes to the successful development of the Arabica coffee bean market in Thailand, it is due to the Royal Plan (Thai Royal Project) launched by the late Emperor Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1969, which includes the "Northern Thailand Mountain Agricultural Development Project", which encourages locals to invest in sustainable industries in the hope of replacing opium poppy with highly cash crops and reducing "felling and burning" agricultural practices related to opium production. In this way, we can alleviate poverty and combat drugs, and at the same time, we can create an environmentally friendly economy.

Coffee, as a forest crop, has experienced fluctuations in its production and export since 1970. According to the statistics put forward by the International Coffee Organization (ICO) in 2015-16, Thailand exported 500000 packets (60 kg each) of coffee in the above-mentioned year, but its domestic consumption alone has reached 1.2 million bags. It can be seen that under the strong demand, Chiang Mai will inevitably be hit.

Today, walking up Nimman Avenue Road in Chiang Mai is no longer as easy as it used to be to meet locals peddling coffee, in exchange for all kinds of glass-window coffee shops that offer free wifi Internet access, or mobile coffee carts parked by the side of the road. In addition to the large coffee chain Starbucks, there are also a number of exquisite specialty shops for coffee lovers to enjoy. Here are some of the key recommendations:

Nine One Coffee

The story of Nine One Coffee, located on Ningman Road, originated when the local boss, Wullop Pasananon, acquired a piece of land in Chiang Mai. He learned that the land was geographically advantageous and suitable for growing coffee, so he planned to use it to start a business. Through hard research and study, we can not only make our own coffee planting, roasting and brewing, but also sell wholesale to the surrounding shops under the keen demand, thus making its business more and more successful.

Akha Ama

Another coffee shop, Akha Ama, which is also typical in Chiang Mai, has two meanings, named after the meaning of Coffee production Mountain and Akha mother. This lovely shop, located in the ancient city, not only sells coffee, but also plays the role of producing and roasting green coffee. Lee Ayu Chuepa, a native of northern Thailand, has some influence in Chiang Mai coffee industry, helping Chiang Mai coffee industry to develop the concept of "from seed to cup" (seed-to-cup). It is known that Lee was invited to give a speech on TED. At present, his coffee shop has gained a reputation both at home and abroad.

Asama Caf é

Relatively speaking, Asama Cafe is located in a relatively remote location, and it will take a long time for travelers to share the ride, but it should be emphasized that it is a specialty coffee shop recommended by many coffee enthusiasts. The pink exterior wall is marked by wooden shop signs, which are the characteristics of this shop. There is an outdoor coffee shop in the shop, where you can see two sets of Kees van der Westen coffee machines. In the shop, you can overlook the calm and beautiful lake from the wide window.

Ristr8to Lab

Inspired by Australia and San Francisco, the store is full of strong industrial cultural style, and there are already three retail coffee shops in Chiang Mai. It is reported that the young boss Arnon Thitiprasert once went to work in a coffee shop in Australia and later became famous for participating in the coffee pull contest, making Ristr8to a mecca for coffee fans at home and abroad. The three stores all have their own themes, namely, their own roasting laboratory, Cult Coffee&Coffee for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks based on coffee, and Satan Coffee Corner, which mainly offers a variety of hand-brewed single coffee.
