Discovering Mae Kham – The Countryside Charm of Chiang Rai

When travelers think of Chiang Rai, they often imagine misty mountains, golden temples, and endless rice fields. But hidden within the quiet countryside of Mae Kham Village lies a surprising gem for those with a sweet tooth and a love for authentic local experiences: Boo Chocolate.

Boo Chocolate is more than just a café or a shop—it’s a farm-to-bar journey. The founders turned a simple idea into an inspiring business: taking locally grown cacao and transforming it into award-winning chocolate. Here, every step of the process happens close to the land itself, from harvesting cacao pods to fermenting, roasting, and crafting them into smooth bars of chocolate. It’s a story of passion, sustainability, and community pride.

For visitors, Boo Chocolate offers a light yet memorable activity. You can walk through cacao trees, watch how beans are fermented, and most importantly, enjoy a guided tasting session of their handcrafted chocolate. Each bite tells a story of Mae Kham—its soil, its farmers, and the spirit of creating something world-class in a humble rural setting.

What makes Boo Chocolate special is how it blends seamlessly into the slow rhythm of life in Mae Kham. For guests staying at ComeOn Stay&Sleep, visiting Boo Chocolate can be the perfect half-day activity. After a morning coffee in the pavilion or a gentle walk through the rice paddies, spending a couple of hours at Boo Chocolate adds a delightful touch to your rural retreat. It’s not strenuous or time-consuming—just an easy, enjoyable way to savor local craftsmanship while supporting sustainable farming.

So, if you find yourself in Mae Kham, let Boo Chocolate sweeten your journey. It’s not just chocolate; it’s a taste of the village, a story of the land, and a gentle reminder that authentic experiences are often the simplest ones.
