The best bars and cafés Chiang Rai

Just a few minutes from the White Temple, in the Chiang Rai countryside, you'll find this little café opened by Mike and Kan. It has the particularity of attracting the local biker community, and the owners are not short of advice on the best off-the-beaten-track motorcycle rides. People come here for a chat, an excellent cup of coffee or iced tea, and to enjoy the peace and quiet. You can also reach Chiang Rai city center via the lovely Route 1022, avoiding a large section of the national highway.

Just around the corner, this house of Bavarian beer is a modern, pleasant two-storey establishment. A pleasant, well-ventilated terrace, an attractive billiard table in the middle of the room, a well-stocked bar and an attentive team. Several screens broadcast the day's sporting events. On the menu, 9 draught beers and some forty bottled and canned beers from all over the world. You can also grab a bite to eat: pizzas, burgers, salads, pasta and some German dishes. Nice place.
