Coffee at Cafe’lista · 11:13 AM

I thought this is just a tiny cafe on a rice field, but the compound is pretty big with many things to explore. The cafe is small and simple, but decent coffee and cake. There is also a garden, a lawn, a pond, and a few buildings. Plenty of places and props for photo opportunities. I would recommend minimum of 2 hours here if you like photography or just chill and relax.

Lunch at Ma Long Der · 2:00 PM

A modern take on Northern Thai cuisine. We order a 299B set which has a bit of everything, which is alright. Also a 89B fancy dessert, perhaps too much presentation. The restaurant is next to a river, and there is an art gallery next door.

Stay at Rommai Villa Chiang Rai · 3:05 PM

This is like a tiny resort with cozy wooden house. It has nice garden, and the host are friendly and helpful. You can take the bicycles (good condition) to explore nearby attractions. The breakfast is pretty good, tasty.

Dinner at Chivit Thamma Da Coffee House, Bistro & Bar · 6:41 PM

The most famous cafe and restaurant in Chiang Rai. The place is known for its beautiful garden seating, great service and pretty good food. It has a wide variety of food choices from Asian to Western, and dining here is just a very pleasant experience. You can opt for alcohol and dessert after your meal. I could easily spend 2 hours here, just comfortable and pleasant. We visited this place 8 years ago during our last trip, and we visited Chivit Thamma Da twice during our current Chiang Rai visit. Both the morning and evening vibe are excellent.
