This is a freedom cafe managed by freedom fighters. After the coup in February 2021 in Myanmar (Burma), thousands fled to Thailand Burma border and many arrived to Mae sot Thailand where they seek a better life. Here is Freedom Cafe in Mae Sot.

*A Must visit place* I passed by the restaurant by chance, and even though I wasn't hungry something pulled me to go I side - and I'm SO HAPPY that I did so. I discovered an authentic local, cute and very tasty Burmese place. It's a liberal FREEDOM cafe . The stuff is so nice , and the menu is great and good prices. I had a classic Burmese soup - Mote Him Gar . And some yu chur kway and samosas. There's Chinese hot tea available for free. My waiter was a young Burmese singer that came to Mae Sot
