Maletcha Coffee & Eatery was established alongside the Camellia Seed Oil and Other Vegetable Oil Research and Development Center project. The name “Maletcha” was graciously bestowed by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. The restaurant’s logo features a fully bloomed white tea flower with yellow stamens, accompanied by a dark brown seed pod beneath the petals, supported by a fresh green stem, with the restaurant’s name in green beside it.
Maletcha Coffee & Eatery embraces the concept of blending nature with modernity while incorporating the charm of contemporary Lanna style (Modern Contemporary Lanna). Located on the east wing of the research center, the restaurant is set in a tranquil riverside garden, surrounded by diverse plant species. The ambiance is comfortable, offering various seating zones to provide guests with a sensory dining experience in terms of sight, taste, aroma, sound, and touch. The restaurant is designed to ensure privacy, serenity, and relaxation.
