Cafés in Laplae & Uttaradit
Coffee among the durian orchards · A break between sights in Laplae town
Laplae and Uttaradit aren't just about old temples and fruit orchards — they're dotted with little cafés in the orchards and in town that keep opening up. This guide rounds up the 'café zones' and how to find the good spots, so you can fit in a coffee break right in the middle of your trip.
The Café Scene in Laplae
Laplae is a small town in a valley, ringed by orchards of durian, langsat, longkong and marian plum. In the past few years a number of garden-style cafés have opened, many set in or beside actual fruit orchards, so you can sip your coffee among the greenery in the kind of cool, comfortable air you won't find in a big city.
Cafés here split roughly into two groups: garden / outskirts cafés that play up the natural views and photo corners — usually around Laplae, Nong Na Kluea and along the route to Mae Phun waterfall — and cafés in Laplae town and Uttaradit town that are all about convenience, easy to drop into while you're out sightseeing or shopping for souvenirs.
Because small cafés open, close and change often, always check each spot's hours and menu directly on its page or social media before you go — especially orchard cafés, some of which close depending on the fruit season. That's why this guide focuses on the 'zones' and how to find them, rather than naming specific shops and prices, so the information stays accurate.
