As spectacular as the drive to Pai is, the winding mountain journey could do with a break or two, and 32 Coffee Hill (so named as it sits on kilometre 32 on the road to Pai) is the perfect pit stop. This charming resort, restaurant and coffee shop serves up its own locally grown coffee along with tasty baked goods while offering plenty of photo-ops for the shutter-happy. Vast lush gardens with sweeping views, wending paths serenaded by birdsong, and luxurious individual villas decked out to the nines nestle amongst the hills. Delicious food is served in a restaurant offering a treetop vibe and the coffee shop itself is so popular during the cool season that there are often queues backed up for hundreds of metres along the main road. You don’t stop off at 32 Coffee Hill because you have to; you stop there because you really want to.
