Mr. Sittichai Sermcheap, 39, and Ms. Kanonuan Watchanawong, 32, who are friends and business partners are the owners of the restaurant and café.

They told The Pattaya News and Pattaya Unplugged, “We used to work delivering soil and sand to various businesses in the Chonburi area.”

“After Covid -19 broke out in 2020, many businesses stopped or shut down. This affected our own soil delivery business so we decided to try opening an “Instagram friendly” restaurant and cafe that was aimed at domestic tourism. Many businesses were selling inexpensive items from their closed businesses. So we bought some from them to supply our idea on our property for a restaurant and cafe that appeals to domestic tourists.” Sittichai explained.

“We have adopted a natural garden behind the residential home and turned it into a restaurant and coffee shop. We are also growing some vegetables which are used to cook for our customers.”
