Such a beautiful and peaceful experience at this coffee shop in Chiang Mai! I visited in the morning when the place was surrounded by a soft, dreamy fog, The coffee was smooth and rich, and the staff were kind and welcoming. It’s the perfect place to relax, take in the misty mountain views, and enjoy a quiet moment with a warm drink.

Absolutely beautiful view, 10/10 would recommend for your trip to Chiang Mai Thailand. Vast selection of food. It wasn’t too busy when I arrived (but be causes when driving up there because the road can get a little sketchy. But other than that it is totally worth the trip and time

Reviews

The Giant Chiangmai in Mae Kampong, Thailand, offers a fantastic view and atmosphere amidst the lush rainforest hills. Visitors praise the stunning scenery, unique treehouse setting with swinging bridges, and cool concept for a cafe. However, some mention challenges with accessibility due to steep winding roads and limited Thai food options. Despite minor inconveniences like music playing instead of natural sounds and average food quality, guests appreciate the beautiful views, friendly staff, and overall experience at this remote yet picturesque location.

I was very disappointed with my visit to The Giant Chiang Mai. The service was terrible – the staff were rude, slow, and ignored us when we asked for basic things like tissue and a fork. We had to call them several times, but they just walked away and didn’t care. The food was also overpriced, bland, and not fresh at all. Honestly, the only good thing here is the view, but the bad service and bad food completely ruin the experience. Definitely not worth the time or money.

The place and the view was great. But the male staff was no smile. If the service staff doesn’t know how to treat the customers, better don’t do the service industry. Customers came from far place and it’s not worthy to pay the service fee. We will not come back.
