The products on this site are from family run factories in the Isan region of Thailand. These are the people I have lived with, grown to love and understand. They are hard working families who work extremely long hours in extremely hot weather conditions.

With poor rewards from tireless efforts in the paddy fields the people of Isan have adapted their skills to other fields of work which has been essential for their survival.

Through this website my aim is to bring you products where time and dedication is applied to each individual item, to introduce you to a population of the kindest and most loving people in the world and finally to give something back to a family and region which has taught me so much.
