Embracing the culture of the countr We believe Thailand has all the necessary elements for spots like this — wonderful culture, history, food and climate. As a family we were looking for a place to both spend time together or separately, but always engaged in creative activities. We were missing venue dedicated to promoting local art and crafts and art in general; a place for community with interesting workshops, healthy food and inspiring design. So we created this concept to embrace the culture of country we choose to call home in more than one way. A place where you can relax, get inspired, eat, shop, work, learn something new, meet friends or chill on your own and enjoy life in general. Garden Eatery Dining together is an integral part of community life in Thai culture.
