Glad you share my love of the city. Not perfect, but still a lot to offer.

Excellent Videos from Randy & Joy, I will have to visit this coffee shop when I get there in September. I like Cafe Caliente in the Pa Deat sub district near my brother's home and excellent coffee (Roast's onsite) beans from Myanmar owner On also has Iced coffee in cans he also produces at the shop. Very good Korean food as well very reasonable prices. Hidden Gem for sure.

Thanks for the tip. I'll ask if Joy knows it. Maybe we will drive past soon and can stop by.

I really enjoyed this video, and think a follow up with the 2nd and 3rd best coffee shops and ambience surroundings would be well received; include prices, too, would be great!

Looks like a great activity to do when first in Chiang Mai: Visiting a different coffee shop every morning! Especially if the shops have such beautiful surroundings!

I didn't know that. Thanks, Orowan, for the info. Yes I really enjoy going there for coffee or tea. Joy and I are the only people sitting on the patio as we don't mind the heat. Usually everyone else is inside. Really a nice quiet little patio unlike all the places on the street if you prefer outside.

Such a nice video !! I liked and subscribed. Chiang Mai seems wonderful to me. Great for ex-pats, cheap rent, great wifi, great food and coffee, close to airport, easy to travel north to make a "visa run", and looking forward to Joy's Thai language lessons. Planning to visit Chiang Mai in a year or so. so glad I found your youtube channel !!

Some people treasure, golf, gardening, fishing etc. in retirement, but for me a great coffee place and gym are top priorities...and as you noted the coffee must be good, but so too, the environment. Given I'm a coffee snob what with living in Australia...standards are high. Adda good book, yes book and one can while/wile away the hours. Great job! What was the price?

@RetiredGlobalLife

Жыл бұрын

Yes, a good book, a good drink, sitting in the shade, is paradise. Different values as we get older and value simple things. The prices were average, around 60 baht as I recall. We go to so many places it gets a bit blurred. Best wishes.

Home to CA as I still enjoy my job and need some time there. But I've also gone to the islands. Joy and I went to Koh Lipe this year, for example. And one day I'll actually edit all the footage we shot and make a video. (:

Drip? That is also called a "pour over". My preferred method of brewing since I'm not gonna spend a mint on a good espresso machine.
