As I understand it arabica coffee growing was introduced to the Chiangmai area as a cash crop. And that the project faltered, nearly failing because of the difficulties of marketing the beans the farmers grew.

However that has allapparently changed and Thailand is now recognised as a major exporter of quality arabica beans? If this is the case what about the local market?

Doi Chang and Rai Khun Ying are selling expensive coffee recovered from civet poo. What other brands are there? What are recognised brands? Coffee roasters? Ground coffee brands?
