Traditional Coffee at Taphan Hin District, Chiang Rai Province

When it comes to traditional coffee in Northern Thailand, many might think of Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai. But for me, mr.hotsia, having the chance to taste traditional coffee atTaphan Hin Districtin Chiang Rai Province has a unique charm that makes my traveler's heart beat faster every time I experience it. The atmosphere of the small roadside coffee shops in Taphan Hin is not just a resting place for locals but also a meeting point for people of all ages — workers, elderly, and students seeking refreshment in the morning or late afternoon.

The traditional coffee here still delivers the original rich flavor, fragrant with the aroma of roasted coffee beans mingled with the sweet scent of condensed milk and brown sugar, combined with the creamy sweetness of fresh milk and a slight bitterness perfectly balanced in every sip. I, mr.hotsia, recently tried this coffee at a small shop that has been open since the grandfather's generation. Watching people slowly sip coffee and chat casually, I could feel the simple and warm lifestyle of the locals in Taphan Hin District.

Traveling to Taphan Hin District from Chiang Rai city is very convenient, taking no more than an hour and a half by private car. The winding route passes through rice fields and mountains, allowing you to enjoy panoramic natural beauty along the way.

Connecting with Life and Travel in Chiang Rai

After recharging with traditional coffee at Taphan Hin, I, mr.hotsia, like to travel back to Chiang Rai city to experience the diverse attractions and lifestyles this city offers. I usually choose to stay atSuknirand Hotelwhich is located in the city center next to the Chiang Rai Clock Tower. The hotel is affordable but cozy and serves as the central point for nighttime activities such as the Saturday Walking Street, also known as “Kad Chiang Rai Ram Luek.”

Nights in Chiang Rai are full of color and vibrancy. I, mr.hotsia, often stroll between Thanalai Road and the Sunday Walking Street “Thanon Khon Muan” to enjoy local food, souvenir shops, and unique local cultural performances unlike anywhere else in Thailand.

The selection of coffee beans, roasting, and flavoring with condensed milk and sugar is an art that requires heart and special expertise.
