🌿 Something Journey – Chiang Rai Nordic style cafe
If you are looking for a nice place to relax, not too far from Chiang Rai city, with a peaceful atmosphere, beautiful and full of inspiration… I recommend you to pin Something Journey, a chic cafe and restaurant hidden in nature, Tambon Huai Sak, Chiang Rai. Then you will understand the word “simple happiness” immediately.
🚗 Driving out of the city for less than half an hour, you will find a shop surrounded by green trees, a clear blue pond reflecting the sky, and a white Nordic-style building that looks minimalist but full of thoughtful details. Just walking into the shop, you will feel the warmth of true hygge.
🪑 There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas to choose from – if you want to sit in the air-conditioning and enjoy the beautiful view, you can go inside. Or choose a corner under the trees, enjoy the cool breeze by the pond, which is equally romantic. Come in the morning to late afternoon, the light will be perfect, and any angle you take a picture will be great.
🍽 The food menu is extraordinary because they have a concept of combining local ingredients with modern ideas, such as “Chiang Rai Nachos” that use yams from the mountain instead of corn sheets, topped with nam phrik num and guacamole – it sounds confusing, but when you eat it, it’s amazing! Or try “Kam Gert” – yogurt blended with glutinous rice, served beautifully with a smooth and delicious taste.
☕️ The drinks are also outstanding, especially the signature coffee, which is roasted by the owner and carefully selected beans. Or if you don’t drink coffee, there are teas, fresh fruits, smoothies, and mocktail menus that are refreshing and perfect for Chiang Rai’s weather.
👶🏻 This place is really suitable for everyone, whether you bring your family, children can run around on the lawn / couples who want to find a quiet and sweet corner / or come with a gang of girlfriends to take beautiful photos, it’s so much fun. Most importantly, it is designed according to the Universal Design concept – the elderly or people who use wheelchairs can enter comfortably.
🐶 It’s also pet friendly! If you have a dog or cat, don’t forget to bring them to change the atmosphere.
📸 No matter how you take a photo, it will look good, whether it’s a wooden table by the pond, sunlight through the leaves, or a European-style wooden archway. Every spot is as premium as a cafe abroad.
