The La QingTing Phuket coffee house and shop is a Bangtao beach bar, cafe and restaurant selling only ‘La QingTing’ subsanably grown arabica decaf and regular hot or iced coffees from Thailand. 
We are located in-between Bangtao, Surin beach, Cherngtalay and Laguna beach on the North West side of Phuket island.
Our No1 rule is that we only use and offer sustainably and naturally grown coffee from smallhold farmers in Thailand for our 100% Arabica regular, decaffeinated and cold brew iced coffees, which in-turn offers eco-friendly, ecological and fresh flavour coffee benefits.
No imported, instant or mass produced coffee here. This simply means that you can trace our coffee’s path in Thailand from the farm to your cup.
About Our Thai Decaf Coffee
Our exclusive medium / dark roast decaf coffee is farmed and washed by smallhold farmers in the North of Thailand. It’s 100% Arabica, chemical-free and decaffeinated. Grown at an altitude of 500m, this coffee is processed using the wash method to naturally decaffeinate the beans without the use of harsh chemicals, yet leaves the bean and its natural oils intact. With only 0.08% caffeine, this medium-dark roasted coffee provides a smooth, sweet flavor without compromising on taste.
About Our Regular Thai Coffee
Our La QingTing 100% Thai Arabica ground coffee is award-winning, natrually grown, full-bodied and packed full of flavor. It’s an unique blend made entirely from delicious Thai coffee beans, sourced from the renowned coffee-growing regions in Thailand, and also roasted and ground here. With the distinctive flavors of Thai-grown coffee, our coffee brings a harmonious balance of rich depth and smooth finish.
Where To Buy Or Taste Our Thai Coffee
Besides being able to drink a cup of our Thai coffee we also sell 200g bags of our ‘La QingTing’ premium ground coffee and beans to guests and tourists to buy as a gift, to take home to their Phuket home, or to take home to their own Country.
Also most, if not all, local Hotels, restaurants and cafes only promote and sell imported coffee, and due to the fact that we believe that people visit Thailand to try Thai products, guests can now also purchase our premium Thai ground coffee or beans, and also our bamboo French Press, in our local partners ‘Ola minimart’ and ‘Kimm 88 Pharmacy’ which are both located in-between the Great Western Resort and the Arinara Resort along the Bangtao beach road. More locations coming soon.

Thailand & Phuket Reforestation
The history of deforestation in northern Thailand is not necessarily connected to coffee. Many mountains, hills and areas were removed of their green forests before coffee growing was an option, when opium was the main product growing here and other monocrops such as corn, rubber and pineapple needed area to grow and create an income for the farmers. We do not simply see the Forest Friendly concept as a way to protect already existing forests but also as a way to put forest back.
We encourage coffee farmers to initiate reforestation efforts. We can negotiate and provide a monetary incentive for coffee producers to start investing in reforestation operations, and so far we have put back two thousand trees of 50 different species in the mountains of Northern Thailand.
So even if the forest is not there yet in some of our coffee sights, it will be in 50 years when the work we’re putting in now will start to show. Through our sustainable business model we have a way of creating a better world for future generations of coffee lovers and coffee farmers.
For Phuket island, from 2002 to 2022, Phuket lost 387 ha of humid primary forest, making up 5.1% of its total tree cover loss in the same time period. The total area of humid primary forest in Phuket decreased by 4.6% in this time period.
Saying this, there are a few good willed locals and expats trying to set up eco friendly and reforestation projects, but unfortunately there are also bigger companies just using it as a marketing ploy to make them look good in their naïve customers eyes, and basically have no teeth to make any sort of impact.

Thailand Sustainable Coffee Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations issued 17 Sustainable Development Goals to achieve sustainable development for all.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15: “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”.
Our mission with our partners and La Qing Ting Phuket is to protect the forests and biodiversity of Northern Thailand by giving coffee farmers and forests value through the selling of our coffee. We can do this because we use the native coffee plant species that has been growing naturally in Northern Thailand for thousands of years. By growing coffee together with its natural habitat, we can preserve the biodiversity and help reduce the effects of the global carbon footprint.
The massive global market allows us to use this natural coffee plant as a tool for generating income to turn the farmers and their communities into protectors of the forest. We make it our responsibility to sell only Forest Friendly grown coffee, and provide all farmers with sustainable income and our end-consumers with a sustainable product.
Try Our Water Kefir Infused Iced Coffee
Besides our normal brewed decaf or espresso coffee, we are the only Phuket coffee shop and bar in the area that offers guests to infuse probiotic Phuket Water Kefir into our drink in or takeaway cold brew iced coffees, which offer a daily healthy probiotic immune system boost.
Try Our Phuket CBD Oil Infused Coffees
Besides adding full spectrum CBD oil in our smoothies as an optional add-on we can also infusing our Thailand made full spectrum Phuket CBD oil into your decaf or regular Thai coffee, or in one of our iced cold brew coffees.
By our customers buying and drinking our coffee, tea and wine at the ‘Bangtao Beach Bar & Café’, or any of our partner shops, Hotels, restaurants or pharmacies, it is now contributing to sustainable development goals, helping the Thai smallhold farmers, and the reforestation of Northern Thailand.
If you are living or just visiting Phuket, Thailand then make a trip to La Qing Ting ( Bangtao Beach Bar & Café ) for a organically grown Thai black or green tea or coffee, a Water Kefir Immunity morning boosting smoothie, a healthy Asian noodle, rice or curry meal, or just to sit, chillout and have a chilled beer or local wine.
