Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City is one of the biggest cities in Southeast Asia. It is buzzing, loud and busy. Compared to Hanoi, Saigon is very modern and essential for business life in Vietnam. Because of this, you will find lots of new and modern coffee shops in Saigon, where locals and tourists enjoy the best coffee in Saigon.
During our trip through Southeast Asia, we already found great coffee in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in Thailand. Thailand might not be as famous as Vietnam for coffee production but there are lots of coffee farmers in North Thailand as well. Vietnam is the second-largest coffee-growing country in the world and is famous for its coffee culture.
