Niji Café – A Quiet Corner for Ordinary Days
Sometimes, we don't need a fancy café or anything extravagant. We just want a place where, upon entering, we feel a sense of lightness in our hearts without having to say a word.
Niji is that kind of place — a small wooden house tucked away in the Pa Daet area, not far from Chiang Mai Airport. It's not a trendy café, nor is it overly staged, but every corner exudes a serene quietness. The kind of quiet that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay longer than you initially planned.

🍵 Warm Tea and Simple Yet Special Curry Rice
If you're not in a rush, try ordering the Teriyaki Chicken Rice or Curry Rice and wait without checking your phone. The aroma of rice gently wafts through the air, followed by the scent of jasmine tea or smooth matcha that's not overly sweet. It's simple food that makes you feel like someone put thought into making it for you, rather than just serving something quickly to clear the table.

🐾 Cats, Cool Breezes, and Old Wooden Tables
Wooden tables are arranged in the garden, with cats strolling by slowly like characters in a movie scene. Some sit beside you, while others seek attention. None of them are noisy or disruptive. The sound of the wind rustling through the leaves becomes a natural soundtrack that you don't need to play yourself.

🧘♀️ Not Just for Photo Enthusiasts
– If you're tired of overly photogenic cafés and just want a quiet place to sit alone, this is your spot.
– If you want to have a heartfelt conversation with someone without rushing or beating around the bush, this place is perfect.
– Or if you have young children and want them to meet cats, see trees, or simply sit and draw in the garden, Niji has that kind of space for you.
