Craft, Chiang Mai - Thailand

53 Prapokklao Road, Tambon Phra Sing, เมือง Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand

Street food and coffee shops. You’ll be hard pressed to not find either of these anywhere you go in Chiang Mai so it was only a matter of time before some bright mind combined the two. Craft does exactly that with a set up using plastic pallets, outside a disused shop front, that prop up a full-on professional grinder and brewing equipment - it’s quite the sight.

Propping yourself on one of the plastic chairs facing the road, you can rest in the heat of the day (granted, not from it) and have a cooling iced coffee that soothes any frayed nerves.

It’s a sweet coffee that tingles on the tongue, a far cry from so much of the bitter blends floating about. It’s a pleasant experience that sets itself apart from the array of cafes in this city. For something else that’s still great, this is a great place to be.
