When in Chiang Mai get out of the habit of popping into Starbucks as you’ll only find expats and tourists there. Instead, Wawee is the go-to place for a lazy and local cup of coffee. The beans here come from farms in Doi Chang, Doi Chiang Dao and Doi Inthanon. The coffee chain now has 17 outlets spread across the city, but the original branch on Nimmandhaemin Soi 9 remains the most popular with ample people-watching opportunities, comfy couches and a shady outdoor lawn.
