Step into the Mae-Khrua (Mother – Kitchen) and meet aunts and grandmothers who will share their local culinary wisdom. Although excelling with cooking skills and kitchen knowledge, these women never see themselves as “chefs” but instead as determined spirits who care for and feed others using generational recipes and traditional methods.

Meant to look and feel like a homey Thai kitchen, the Open Kitchen embraces regional styles like cooking on the floor, preparing food in bamboo joints, pounding, simmering and scenting. Expect a procession of shared plates across trays of food and Thai-style seating, all presented as a rich cultural dining experience.
