Ristr8to’s initial claim to fame was the mini celeb status of owner/barista Arnon “Tong” Thitiprasert, but once you try one of his hot lattes you’ll need not remember he’s one of TV show Toey Tiew Thai’s hot vendors. Ranked 6th at the 2011 World Latte Art Championship, this Trang-born barista spent six years making coffee in Sydney before deciding to relocate to Chiang Mai to open Ristr8to in 2011. Grab a seat at the counter and watch the master serve up steaming cups of art by pouring milk over your espresso shot, but be warned - the cafe draws a long line even before it opens.
