“Akha” is the name of a hilltribe in the northern mountains of Thailand, “Ama” means “Mother” in the language of the Akha people.
Yes and the name of a nice little cafe in Chiang Mai is “Akha Ama”.
The cafe is using coffee from the local plantations around Chiang Mai and the northern parts of Thailand.
I felt very relaxed and welcomed in Akha Ama, last but not least because of the seating, especially the table with the wooden bench in the corner of the cafe.
The wooden ambience gave Akha Ama the touch which made me feel at peace for the time I could sit on the bench in the corner.
The view was not that great, there was of course no beach in front of Akha Ama, but compared to the other buildings in the area it was quite an amicable sight.
Just opposite of Akha Ama seemed to be a kind of an accommodation, either for tourist or local people. I couldn’t figure it out, but there were always a few farang in Akha Ama and they didn’t look like the traditional Big Group tourists.
