Located at 343/2 Charoen Prathet Rd, Light Beverage and MORE is a charming café that beckons locals and travelers alike with its enchanting riverside atmosphere and exceptional menu. Nestled adjacent to the tranquil Ping River, this café offers more than just great coffee—it's a sanctuary for those seeking a peaceful escape in bustling Chiang Mai.

The cafe is renowned not only for its rich and flavorful coffee, but also for its extensive range of brunch options, delectable snacks, and delightful food items that cater to diverse palates. Customers rave about the cozy ambiance, complete with shaded seating throughout the lush garden and deck areas, making it the perfect place to sip your favorite beverage while watching the river flow by.

As Sharon Sloman so beautifully expressed, "It's a tranquil place to relax and watch the river flow by." This sentiment is echoed by many who have found respite here, such as Russell - 2RetireesOverseas, who enjoyed the refreshing breeze while savoring an iced latte, making the hot Chiang Mai day incredibly enjoyable. The café's inviting outdoor seating is complemented by thoughtful amenities like oscillating fans, ensuring that all guests are comfortable as they soak in the scenic views.

The extensive menu offers everything from rich lattes to innovative beverages like coconut coffee, which Harry Nguyen praised for its strong flavors, making it a must-try for coffee enthusiasts.

With friendly service and a welcoming spirit, along with delightful touches like a kids rock climbing wall and aviary, Light Beverage and MORE feels more like a community gathering spot than just another café. The laid-back, chilled atmosphere is perfectly accentuated by a carefully curated music selection, as noted by Scott McCann, who was drawn back due to the inviting vibes and delicious brownie.

However, not every experience has been flawless; a few guests have mentioned the need for a designated smoking area to enhance the ambiance further. As Paullene L. pointed out, the café's lovely environment is best appreciated without the intrusion of smoke. Such insights reflect the café’s commitment to creating a more enjoyable space for all customers.

In summary, if you're looking for a delightful blend of quality coffee, picturesque views, and a relaxing atmosphere, look no further than Light Beverage and MORE. Whether you're catching up with friends or simply enjoying some well-deserved solitude, this little gem by the river is a perfect choice for both locals and visitors in Chiang Mai.

An enchanting coffee shop by the Ping River, with lots of shaded seating throughout the garden and deck areas. It's a tranquil place to relax and watch the river flow by. There are swings, a kids rock climbing wall, an aviary and a large car/motorbike parking area. Friendly service and excellent coffee (hot latte 65 baht, Sep 25).

I had a wonderful time at Light Café, enjoying a good cup of coffee with my local friends. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the price was fair, making it a great spot for both casual meetups and relaxing moments. What makes this café truly special is its location beside the river. The scenic view adds a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere, making it a perfect place to unwind. Whether you’re sitting indoors or outside, you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings while sipping your drink. To make the experience even better, I spotted a beautiful cat at the café. It added a cozy and charming touch to the place, making it feel even more welcoming. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. If you’re in the area and looking for a great coffee spot with a nice view (and maybe a friendly cat!), I highly recommend visiting Light Café!

Beautiful title cafe beside the river Ping. Lovely coffee & brownie. Chilled atmosphere, great music selection (sounded like Khruangbin radio on!). Defo be back

Nice, relaxing coffee shop overlooking the Ping River. It has lots of outside seating. With a river breeze and oscillating fans, sitting in the shade sipping an iced latte was comfortable and relaxing even with the temperature hovering around 100°F/38°C.

I came for the views and the cat (I read on reviews) and neither disappointed. I had the hot cappuccino (65BHT) and tastes great, with great presentation! Only thing I didn't like was the smokers were pushed into a corner, away from the views But, I will come still back again

I tried the coconut coffee and the taste was really good. The coconut flavor was strong and blended well with the coffee. The lychee green tea, on the other hand, was not impressive. There was almost no taste of the green tea and the drink was quite plain. The shop had great location, right next to a river. It was cool and many places to chill out. The atmosphere was great. I loved that it had many trees and green coverage. Overall a good experience. P.S.: the cat was so cute.

Impressive services with Scrumptious desserts and beverages Except some healthy point that I must speak it out people normally know that chilling themselves amid greenery and nice atmosphere like this should not smoke any cigarettes to harm others' respiratory track, but two foreigners keep smoking just like fresh air exists for themselves only, what a bad social etiquette
