Chiang Mai, Thailand

Phenomenal coffee and cool interior. They have a chocolate/orange/espresso drink that's worth trying. Great place to work from, lots of space + outlets + wifi.

Very nice boutique perfume shop with a cool interior, very friendly staff; let me try 30+ perfumes with no pressure to buy. Very reasonably priced for the quality. Great place to get a gift.

Probably the most "gastronomic" cocktail bar in Chiang Mai. Drinks unlike anything else in the city with unique ingredients and a unique menu concept overall. Great music and friendly staff.

Speakeasy-ish bar upstairs in a cafe with great cocktails and a great atmosphere. Have a location in Bangkok as well but I think this one is much better. Open quite late.

An ode to specialty espresso. Award-winning roastery, baristas, and latte art champions. The building is also gorgeous, with a minimial, modern, concrete-heavy interior + exterior.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food & drink. DJ from ~20:30, and 6 doors down from Noir which has live jazz from 21:45. Suggest doing the two back-to-back.

Some of the best coffee in Chiang Mai. Half the price (40THB) compared to most specialty places in the city. Very chill vibe, good spot to sit for a few hours or grab a coffee to go.

About a ~1hr drive from the main city. The coffee is incredible, and the building overlooks the surrounding mountains. Very serene, great place to visit with a book and spend a few hours.
