Chivit Thamma Da Coffee House

Around the corner from the famous blue temple, Chivit Thamma Da leans fully into the nostalgia of an old riverside home with vintage interiors, intricately layered details and a sense of history that feels convincing – even though the space is relatively new. The setting is half of the appeal with lush garden seating spilling out toward the river, shaded by enormous flame trees, romantic fountains and architecture draped in vines and climbing roses. There’s even a cute, non-aggressive rooster wandering about.

With a clear focus on local sourcing, the menu highlights ingredients from nearby producers and coffee grown in Doi Chang and Doi Phahee. There are sweet touches to be discovered such as the piano sitting on the edge of the porch with a politely firm note inviting guests to play (only if they actually know how).
