Coffee sipping and fishing on a relaxing day off with Mr.hotsia @Bortokpla Por Chai Lalla, Chiang Rai – feels just like fishing at home

When it comes to a simple yet joyful day off without rush, I, Mr.hotsia, want to invite everyone to experience “coffee sipping while fishing” at Bortokpla Por Chai Lalla, Chiang Rai. This is not just an ordinary pond but a peaceful spot that feels like an escape from the city's hustle. Sitting fishing, sipping hot coffee, and breathing fresh, homey air reminds me of the old days back home.

Bortokpla Por Chai Lalla is located in Pa O Don Chai Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai District. The surroundings are filled with trees and lush greenery that truly refresh my holiday. This place is perfect for those wanting to escape the chaos but still experience a simple lifestyle close to nature.

I arrived in the morning; the Chiang Rai air was cool and comfortable. The scent of earth and trees greeted me as soon as I got off the car. The pond is spacious with various fish swimming leisurely, making fishing endlessly fun. I chose a spot to sip the fragrant coffee prepared by the pond owner. This atmosphere reminded me of my countryside home where I used to fish while sipping hot black coffee.

While waiting for the fish to bite, I chatted and exchanged experiences with the very kind pond owner, who shared stories about the local lifestyle here that still preserves tradition—unhurried and peaceful—similar to what I experienced atthe Kha Mu local market deep in the forest by the Mekong River in Laoswhich I once visited. The simplicity and friendliness of the people here make me want to return many times.

One thing I really liked was the coffee menu here—not just ordinary coffee but freshly brewed coffee carefully selected by the pond owner. The smooth, fragrant taste enjoyed with the cool breeze and the sound of water lapping the shore is a small happiness many might overlook, but for me, it’s a precious moment.

Fishing here isn’t as hard as you might think. The fish are quite tame and swim close easily, allowing me to catch several without much effort. Besides bringing fish home to cook, I also deeply relaxed my mind. This place is perfect for anyone wanting to live slowly and sufficiently.

For those interested in experiencing this atmosphere, I recommend booking in advance at 081-142-4029 because the place isn’t very large and attracts a group of quiet fishing enthusiasts regularly. The location is excellent; you can check the map atBortokpla Por Chai Lalla

If you’ve followed me on my Laos trips, you’ll know I love the lifestyle along the Mekong River and small communities that still keep the raw and authentic way of life, just like the boat trip onthe Mekong River in Muang Hongsathat I once took. The atmosphere here feels similar—peaceful and friendly, something hard to find in big cities.

On the day I sat sipping coffee and fishing, I was unhurried and unconcerned about time. Everything moved at the pace of nature and my own heart. This charm is why I, mr.hotsia, love traveling this way—not just sightseeing but being with myself, taking a break, and recharging in the way we do at home.

If you miss a homey atmosphere and want to escape the chaos, come here. Bortokpla Por Chai Lalla, Chiang Rai, is the answer you’re looking for. You will truly feel like you’re fishing at your own home.
