Cat 'N' A Cup

Chiang Rai


The coffee and cakes here are good enough, but it's the presence of 25 cats – all different breeds – that have made this place wildly popular with both locals and visitors. Some cats are happy to be petted, others treat the customers with lofty disdain. After a hard day's lounging, the felines retire upstairs to their own luxury cat dormitory.
