1022 COFFEE HOUSE

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.
