The Giant Chiangmai – An Instagrammable Café Hidden in the Jungle
What Is The Giant Chiangmai?
Hidden deep in the mountains outside Chiang Mai, a café straight out of a movie set awaits. The Giant Chiangmai is a truly jaw-dropping café surrounded by dense jungle, featuring massive art installations and breathtaking panoramic views of the forest below.
When we took HATAGO guests to visit, the reaction was unanimous — pure amazement. The view stretching out below is nothing short of a real jungle, so vast you half-expect Tarzan to swing by at any moment.

Getting There – The Journey Is Part of the Adventure
Part of the charm is the drive itself. The winding mountain road twists left and right, demanding low gear and careful steering. Only confident drivers should attempt the journey on their own.
If you're renting a car or motorbike, bring someone experienced with mountain roads. HATAGO can also help arrange transport — just ask.

Giant Art Installations & Photo Spots
The "Giant" in the name refers to the massive art installations scattered across the grounds — enormous hands built into the trees, surreal structures emerging from the jungle. Every angle is photogenic.
For Instagram lovers, this place is a goldmine. Snap a photo with the giant sculptures against the jungle backdrop for an unforgettable Chiang Mai souvenir.

Menu & How to Spend Your Time
The Giant Chiangmai delivers on café quality too, with Thai specialty coffee, fresh juices, and light meals. Enjoy your drink on the terrace overlooking the jungle — an experience no city café can match.
Plan for 1–2 hours, though you're welcome to linger longer. Read, photograph, or simply gaze at the jungle.
