The Chiang Mai coffee scene has welcomed a tiny Scandinavian-style newcomer. Tucked down a small alleyway not far from the city's much-loved North Gate Jazz establishment, One Day Drip (Sriphoom Soi 4, www.fb.com/onedaydripcoffee) is pretty easy to miss at first glance, resembling little more than a spruced-up street stall with one wooden table and a small bar .

The owners are self-proclaimed coffee snobs and select their beans from dedicated coffee trips around Thailand and abroad. Right now, they're focusing on single-origin drip coffee, where they encourage customers to smell the beans before making their selection.

Apart from coffee, they also serve baguette sandwichess and pastries accompanied by their own homemade jam, made from seasonal local fruits like pineapple and strawberry.
