Hom Pan Din has become a regular stopping place when on the 107 / 1089 between Thaton and Mae Chan. Location; 20 deg 04' 21.0"N 99 deg 27' 36.3" E. Much more than just a coffee shop. It's actually restaurant and winery. {} Delicious natural grape juice and great coffee. I had a bacon spaghetti dish too, that was tasty. {} They were trimming the fruit that morning. Seemed to be lots of huge bunches of small grapes. {} Red grapes and white. They had wines for sale. {} The walk of "faks" {} I like to support the hill tribe ladies and bought a couple of bracelets from the friendly Akha lady across the road. {} She lives in a nearby village and is really waiting for the high season tourists soon to be arriving {} . If you are on that road, check the place out. Perhaps not cheap, but definately quality. They have a good menu and I saw a nice looking imported steak and chips a guest had ordered.
I agree that is a magic spot for a break. R1089 Tha Ton - Mae Chan - Coffee Shops / Restaurants At the other end of 1089 the Mountain View is another gorgeous spot. R1089 is getting blessed with nice spots.
Not sure about Mountain View. Looked very quiet when I went past, I wonder if it's still open? A few months ago I had an average but expensive Pad ByKrapow Gai. Seemed a nice place though.
