Finding coffee in Thailand with Piccolo Highway
If finding a good flat white or piccolo is part of your holiday routine, Piccolo Highway is a resource to explore before your next trip to Thailand. Its independent café map is the work of Australian founder Jon Hyams.
A focus on milk-based espresso
Jon describes Piccolo Highway as a nationwide map of cafés across Thailand that take their coffee seriously, with a particular focus on milk-based espresso. He created it to help travellers find independent cafés beyond the usual tourist recommendations.
For Australian travellers who enjoy espresso with milk, that focus offers a useful starting point when looking for a coffee stop. The selections reflect Jon’s visits and judgement, so explore his map for the places that fit your own route and tastes.
