The soft serve was good, staff was friendly and helpful with seating, and design was cute, but as someone who visits cafes as a hobby, unfortunately the experience was miserable. The cafe is full of people walking around taking non-stop photos. They’re blocking people and taking photos at the counter, they’re taking them in standing areas, they’re taking them in seats. I didn’t go to the bathroom, but they were probably taking them there as well. A few photos are fine and part of the themed cafe experience but the guests are having FULL ON photo shoots for 15+ minutes complete with flash. If you go, you better make sure you’re dressed and styled nicely because there’s no way to avoid being in the background of multiple people’s photo shoots. It would have been a nice cafe to relax in, but I had to leave before I was finished with my drink because I felt like my privacy was being invaded. There are plenty of other cafes in Chiang Mai that are great and let you get a drink without having your face plastered on some stranger’s...

She showed a despise 😒 face when she Said "change it to you now".Actually, I am not beg for another drinks(the service has already ruined my mood and appetize), but if you are doing a frontline service ,please mind your emotion, and be rational and...
Read moreChiang Mai (CM) café culture is unparalleled.
Maybe it’s the city’s arty, creative, slightly rebellious spirit. Maybe it’s the cheaper rents and availability of diverse buildings and spaces in the city and countryside.
Whatever the reasons, CM is home to some of the best cafes in Thailand, perhaps Asia.
Monday Attack, for example, is one of the coolest, quirkiest, funkiest cafes I’ve ever been in.
Crammed with old TVs, HiFi systems, 1970s lamps and chairs, a photo booth, pop art, and other curiosities, Monday Attack is a must-visit spot for relaxing and photo taking. Wes Anderson fans will love this place.
And it’s not all style, no substance. The Monday team serves decent coffee, desserts, ice cream, sodas, and floats, and is a chill, relaxing spot for Old Town explorers, bloggers, vloggers,...
