3 Hidden Cafes Near Haze Buds Perfect for Working High

3 Hidden Cafes Near Haze Buds Perfect for Working High

Chiang Mai is the digital nomad capital of the world. But let’s be honest: sometimes the popular spots in Nimman feel more like a runway show than a workspace. The music is too loud, the fluorescent lights are aggressive, and if you have just enjoyed a little midday “inspiration” from a Sativa like Berry Boomstick, the last thing you want is a crowded room full of people shouting into Zoom calls.

There is a specific “Sweet Spot” for working while high. You need Quiet. You need Nature. You need Privacy. And most importantly, you need a place where the staff won’t judge you if you smell faintly of terpenes or if you stare at a tree for 5 minutes while thinking about a sentence.

At Haze Buds, we are big proponents of the “Functional High.” Used correctly, cannabis can unlock deep focus and creativity. But you need the right environment.

We have scouted the neighborhood around our Old City and Sridonchai shops to find the three best “Hidden” cafes that are perfect for the productive stoner.

1. My Secret Cafe in Town (The Deep Focus Bunker)

Location: Old City (Near Wat Phra Singh) Vibe: Artsy, secluded, and quiet. Best For: Writing, coding, and deep concentration.

If the name didn’t give it away, this place is designed to be hidden. Tucked away down a small soi off the main Rachadamnoen Road, My Secret Cafe in Town feels like entering a friend’s living room.

Why it works for the “High” Worker:

  • The Lighting: It’s soft and warm. No harsh overhead LEDs. Large windows let in natural light that filters through the hanging plants. It’s gentle on the eyes, especially if yours are a little sensitive after a smoke session.

  • The Food: They serve healthy, wholesome bowls and smoothies. When the munchies hit, you can order a fresh salad or a carrot cake without feeling the heavy guilt of fast food.

  • The “Zone”: The tables are spaced out. The music is usually acoustic or jazz, kept at a low volume. It is incredibly easy to put on your headphones, enter a “flow state,” and not look up for three hours.

Haze Buds Pairing: Smoke a small amount of Trop Cherry Gas #14 before you go. The gas/diesel terpenes promote alertness and focus, matching perfectly with the serious “get-things-done” energy of this cafe.

2. Fern Forest Cafe (The Creative Oasis)

Location: Old City (Singharat Road) Vibe: lush, green, and sensory. Best For: Brainstorming, sketching, and escaping the heat.

Sometimes, you don’t need a desk; you need a sanctuary. Fern Forest is exactly that. It is a colonial-style white house surrounded by a dense, tropical jungle of ferns and trees in the middle of the city.

Why it works for the “High” Worker:

  • The Soundscape: This is the best feature. The cafe is filled with the sound of running water from small fountains and the rustling of leaves. If you are using cannabis to enhance your creativity, this “Green Noise” is better than any Spotify playlist. It drowns out the city traffic completely.

  • The Privacy: There are many corners in the garden where you can sit behind a wall of plants. You feel secluded.

  • The Inspiration: If you are a designer or writer, the interplay of light and shadow in the garden is visually stimulating. It’s a great place to bring a notebook and let your mind wander.

Haze Buds Pairing: This is a Berry Boomstick spot. The creative, euphoric high pairs beautifully with the nature setting. Order their signature Coconut Cream Pie, find a corner in the garden, and let the ideas flow.

3. Art Farmer Cafe (The Sridonchai Sanctuary)

Location: Sridonchai Road (Near our Sridonchai Branch) Vibe: Slow bar, vinyl records, and wood. Best For: Slow mornings, journaling, and coffee appreciation.

For our customers visiting the Sridonchai branch, this is your spot. Art Farmer is an unsung hero. It is located in an old wooden building on the corner of the road, and it feels like stepping back in time.

Why it works for the “High” Worker:

  • The “Slow” Pace: The owner takes coffee seriously. There is no rush here. It fits the “Slow Life” philosophy perfectly. You can sit at the bar, watch the drip coffee being made, and chat quietly.

  • The Vinyl: They often play vinyl records. The warm, crackling sound of analog music is incredibly pleasing when your hearing is heightened by cannabis.

  • The Lack of Crowds: Unlike the cafes in Nimman, Art Farmer is rarely packed. You won’t have to fight for a seat. It feels like a secret club for people who appreciate quality.

Haze Buds Pairing: This is a place for Orange Creampop. The zesty, citrus flavor of the strain pairs perfectly with their single-origin drip coffee. It’s a breakfast combination that will wake up your brain without giving you the jitters.

The Secret Weapon: “Focus” CBD Drops

Sometimes, even with the best environment, the mind wanders. Maybe you smoked a little too much Indica last night, or maybe the coffee is making you jittery.

This is where CBD becomes your productivity hack.

At Haze Buds, we stock specific “Focus” CBD Drops (like the Bloom Day formula).

  • How it works: These drops often contain Limonene (for alertness) and Pinene (for memory), combined with CBD to reduce anxiety.

  • The Ritual: Take a half-dropper under your tongue right before you open your laptop. It acts as a “stabilizer.” It smoothes out the THC high, removing the paranoia or fogginess, leaving you with just the creative energy.

Pro-Tip: If you feel your focus slipping at the cafe, don’t drink another coffee (that leads to anxiety). Take a drop of CBD instead. It resets the nervous system.

Conclusion: Work Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

The beauty of being a digital nomad in Chiang Mai is the freedom to choose your office. You don’t have to be stuck in a grey cubicle. You can be in a fern garden, a secret house, or a wooden art bar.

Next time you have a deadline:

  1. Stop by Haze Buds.

  2. Pick up a Sativa pre-roll and a bottle of CBD Focus drops.

  3. Walk to one of these hidden gems.

Turn your work session into a ritual. You might just find that your best work happens when you are a little bit high and a lot relaxed.
