An old tobacco factory-turned-cafe in Chiang Mai has gone viral after a tourist called it a "human zoo." In this video, I visit the controversial cafe to see what it's all about and form my own opinion.

Is it a brilliant blend of old and new? Or is it a problematic display of local labor? There are two sides to every story, but what do you think? Drop a comment below and let me know!
