Frequently asked questions

Does the cafe have reliable WiFi for working?

Yes WiFi is generally reliable enough for messaging and email. Power outlets are available at most counter or wall seats. For stable video calls a backup mobile-data SIM is a good idea anywhere in Thailand.

How do I get to The Mountain Office?

It is located in Mae Hi, the rural area west toward the canyon. Practical access is rent a scooter or walk if staying central. Walking is realistic if you are staying within the same neighbourhood.

Does the cafe accept card or only cash?

Most independent cafes in Thailand accept cash and Thai QR PromptPay. Foreign credit cards are sometimes accepted but not guaranteed. Carrying 200-500 baht in cash is the safest approach.
