Tucked in between two modern buildings sits a house that has survived the test of time. Built at the same time as Chiang Mai University, some 50 years ago and what is now known to locals of Suthep as Dumnern Coffee Cafe (or Dumnern Saduak), serves up a variety of traditional Thai coffees, a wide range of snacks and even some locally made cakes. It’s a perfect place for a snack and an afternoon read or a burst of study before an exam. Dumnern provides a platform for local students to begin their cake and snack businesses, encouraging budding entrepreneurs to place the in products in the cooler cabinet. Their large menu of Thai and western food starting at 45 baht is also worth a try.
