Countryside Coffee Tasting Trip

Go on a journey to the charming countryside of Chiang Rai, just across the border with Chiang Mai, where you’ll find ourselves in the local coffee culture and can explore the stunning natural landscapes in the mountains – about 1.5h from Old Town Chiang Mai. This trip is possible thanks to School Coffee.

School Coffee is an amazing coffeeshop near the Chiang Mai Railway Station. They do everything as sustainable as possible, from bean to cup. They also have many local connections in the countryside that gives access to local coffee(beans) and local farmers and coffeeshops.
