Today, you’ll escape the busy streets of Bangkok and step into a peaceful green corner of the city that feels like a world of its own. After meeting your local guide, you’ll take a short ride by van to a quiet, hidden garden where locals come to reconnect with nature.
You’ll start with a walk through the garden, where your guide will introduce you to the plants and herbs growing all around. Some are used in Thai cooking, others in traditional remedies—but all are part of daily life here. It’s a great chance to slow down, take in the atmosphere, and learn a few things you might not find in a guidebook.
Then, it’s time for something special: a hands-on Kanom Jak workshop. This old-school Thai dessert is rarely made these days, but here, you’ll learn the process from a local expert. You’ll mix grated coconut, palm sugar, and sticky rice flour, wrap it all in fresh nipa palm leaves, and grill it over charcoal until the sweet, smoky aroma fills the air.
While the desserts are cooking, you’ll hear a bit about where Kanom Jak comes from and why it’s so tied to coastal communities. When it’s ready, sit back, relax, and enjoy the treat you made yourself.
At the end of the experience, you’ll be taken back to your hotel full from the dessert, but also from the kind of connection and calm that makes a day like this stay with you.
