I found it surprising to see a little open kitchen almost in all shops. I like them. When I’ll have my own kitchen it will certainly be small and effective. ;-)

I’m so happy to finally introduce some of my favourite places in the world to you. These three are from Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand.

1. iBerry (the best coffee shop/gelatteria/bakery/hang out place ever!) 2. an art gallery without name (young artists exhibiting outdoors and runing a little coffee/tea shop next to it) 3. awesome asian kitch shop in one of the design streets of CM, out of Nimmenheiman.





I have couple of more posts to do on Chiang Mai and I couldn’t decide what to do next so here are some random ‘ideas’ from the street sides… Milan definitely could do with some of that COLOUR!!!


Hi, I’m Back from riding my lovely bicycle  around and outside of Chiang Mai with my dad who was here for two weeks. Fun!  Here is a cool shop/guesthouse/bar that was painted by a local art/design group called ‘HappyFriday’. Check out more of their work and this project on their blog:  http://www.happyfridayyy.com/blog/?p=269

So there is a tall palm tree that grows through the bar from the basement to the shop upstairs… an interesting use of materials and a mix of cute chairs and plants. Don’t you want to start drawing your own guest house layout already?

It’s hard to even try to start capturing the beauty of detail, rhythm and vibrancy of colour in Lanna (or Northern Thai) arts and crafts! I’m inspired for ever. And the winking doggy was a friendly one.

So, I’ve kind of taken on a mission of photographing as many cool shops/cafes/galleries in Chiang Mai as possible – for my own record (yes, I’m one of those who is dreaming about having her own coffee shop & art space one day…) and for the delight of others.

To Tell is a bookshop, art gallery and a guest house which also sells tea and coffee. Nice, eh? By the way, Chiang Mai is awesome!

beautiful books and furniture!
