WHY GO

Come to Doi Chang while the coffee farms are working.

Doi Chang is a coffee-growing village in the hills of Chiang Rai. The coffee is picked from about November to February.

Depending on the week and the farm, you may see coffee cherries being picked, or beans being washed and dried in the sun.

At the heart of the weekend is a morning on a working farm with the people who grow the coffee. You see what is happening that week, then taste the coffee where it comes from.

Everyone who comes has chosen this trip for the coffee, so conversation has somewhere natural to begin.

Around the farm morning, the weekend stays light: Northern Thai food, an easy walk in the hills, the village cafés and time with nothing planned.

WHAT WE PROMISE

Going to a café on your own is easy. A morning on a working farm takes arranging, and Doi Chang is about an hour and a half from Chiang Rai airport, the last part on a winding road. We take care of both.

Already decided

• Three days and two nights in Doi Chang, in coffee season
• A morning on a working coffee farm with the people who grow the coffee, then a guided tasting
• An easy walk in the hills, Northern Thai food and time in the village cafés
• A well-reviewed stay near the farms, chosen and checked by us for comfort, where every room has its own bathroom
• The mountain road driven in daylight, up and down with the group, and transport for everything we do together
• A local trip leader throughout, and never more than 15 people
• At least one afternoon left free, to spend as you like

After you register

You can tell us what interests you, such as roasting your own beans. If enough people choose the same thing and it can be arranged, it becomes part of the trip, included in the price. If not, you can ask to add it for yourself. You pay only for what you add.

We set the dates around when the people who register can go, and before seasonal burning brings smoke to the hills from mid-February.

‍

^{DATES DON'T WORK?}

Register anyway and tell us when you could go. If enough people ask for the same dates, we add a trip for them.
