Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

☔✨ Chiang Mai Rainy Season 2025 Travel Review ✨☔ Light drizzle with a cafe and delicious food that warms the heart ♡ ⸻ 1. Teds Coffee 📍 A minimalist cafe with comfortable seating and unexpectedly delicious desserts 💬 “Tiramisu is great~ The sweetness is just right, the cream is smooth and not too rich, the cheesecake is also creamy, with a slight cheese aroma that you can finish without realizing it!” 🥤 Average drinks are in line with the standards of a good cafe ⭐ 8/10 (Great atmosphere, you can sit for a long time. If there are new menus, it will be great!) ⸻ 2. Uncle Prakit's Khao Soi Kad Kom 📍 An old Khao Soi shop with a rich local flavor 💬 “The Khao Soi is rich and flavorful, a little spicy but very delicious! The price is super cute. They don't hold back on the meat~” 🌡 It is recommended to go early in the morning or bring a fan. Because the weather is hot ⭐ 9/10 (The deliciousness is forgivable because of the weather. You have to try it!) ⸻ 3. The Baristro Asian Style 📍 A beautiful cafe in a minimalist Asian style. You can take pictures from every angle! 💬 “If you are a green tea lover, you have to come here! I usually don’t like green tea, but my friend’s one was ‘just delicious’ 😳 I am a Thai tea lover. The Thai tea was also good~” 🍰 The tiramisu was a bit too sweet, but the atmosphere was the winner. There were a lot of people, but I still felt chill. ⭐ 9/10 (I recommend going on weekdays. It’s easy to take pictures and you don’t have to wait in line~) ⸻ 4. Under the house 📍 A cafe + breakfast restaurant that is as warm as going back to your relatives’ home. 💬 “We went at 1:00 PM on a weekday. The shop was just about to close. There were only 2 tables left. There was no line~ The food came quickly. The fried eggs were also great. The kaya toast was the best! The custard is smooth, fragrant, and sweet. It makes me feel so warm inside. 🍞” ☔ It’s the best feeling on a rainy day. I can’t wait to sit here and not want to get up~ 💖 The most impressive thing is… On the way back, it was raining heavily. The staff came and asked, “How did we get here? Should I hold an umbrella and take you?” It was so warm inside. 🥹 ⭐ 8/10 (A full ten for this good feeling.) ⸻ 5. Je So’s Jim Jum 📍 A very lively local restaurant. Delicious without having to decorate. 💬 “A plate of meat costs 19 baht. It’s cut into bite-sized pieces, not too thin~ When you sip the soup at the end, it’s so refreshing!” 🌶 The fried liver with garlic is the best! The pork fried rice is also delicious in a homely way. 🍽 There were 3 of us and it cost almost 500 baht, but we ordered a lot of food. It was so worth it. 🌡 The weather was a bit hot, but the taste saved everything. ⭐ 9/10 (It’s really delicious. No matter how hot it is, I’ll accept it!) ⸻ 6. N. Kuay Chap Chiang Mai (Legendary Uncle's Noodles) 📍 A small shop on the side of the road hidden under a tree — Walk past and have to turn back! 💬 “Walking under the house and accidentally passed this shop. It seemed familiar. I've seen it in a review somewhere, but I'm not sure if it was there, so I walked back.” 👴 The older sister who was eating in front of the shop said, “It's delicious.” When we looked inside, the older sister said, “There's only one bowl left.” 😭✨ 🥣 The older sister wakes up at 4 am and makes everything herself. The noodles, crispy pork, and fried tofu are all homemade. They sell one pot a day. When they're gone, they're gone. 💰 40 baht per bowl, so cheap! ⏰ Usually, they're gone by 11 am. We went a little after noon and got the last bowl. (We were so lucky. The older sister told us to buy a lottery ticket. LOL) 💖 The older sister said, “Some people come 4 times and still don't get to eat.” Then she turned to look at the older sister... Yes, she really did come 4 times. LOL ⭐ 100/10!! (Good things that require luck + feeling and light rain) ⸻ 📌 Chiang Mai in the rainy season = small happiness that is super heartwarming Cool weather, delicious food, charming cafes, and kind people that make every corner of the city meaningful 🍃 🧭 Let your heart lead you. You might find a small shop that is special to you like us 💛 #ChiangMaiTravel #cnxcafehopping #cnxtrip #cnx
