22 Grams

22 Grams is an espresso-focused specialty coffee shop and roastery on Sanambin Road in Rop Wiang. The space is large and modern, and the Thai owner-barista has lived in Australia and speaks good English.

The bar works mainly with local northern Thai beans, pulling shots that are punchy and expressive with a syrupy body. Roasted beans are sold over the counter, which makes it a handy stop for anyone wanting to take Chiang Rai coffee home.

It sits a short ride from the town centre along the same road as several other coffee shops, so it fits easily into a morning coffee crawl around Rop Wiang.
