• Happy (Yum) Green

Being that it was my first time, I was introduced to the family and then given a tour of the vegetable garden. What an amazing welcome! I have a refreshing conversation with one of the owners. She shared about her dedication to holistic lifestyle. Food, mind/body well-being and community. They are a family of rice farmers that have transition over time to the modern world by offering wholesome vegetarian / vegan dishes and organic fruits and vegetables. It's rustic and natural casual setting is a nice chill out spot. They have recently installed wifi for the customers. This jewel is located along the Ping River and the dining area has a great view of Wat Chedi Liem (Wat Ku Kham). With our busy lives it's seems rare to just sit and appreciate the stillness. Happy Green provides that setting we all need from time to time. About 85 - 90% of the produce com from the family farm. Today I watched as they we putting ripe papaya with such care and enthusiasm. Happy is not just a word. it's a genuine expression. I enjoyed the buffet. A lot of the preparations are local dishes. This is a nice change from the standard dishes that are very popular like Pad Thai. And, they do make Pad Thai to order. I also had fresh coconut. My Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad) was good and spicy but it was a variation of what I was used to eating. I wish that I lived closer so that I could make many more trips there. I posted a picture of the Thai language signage and if you are using local transit or google maps. This hotel Sheik Istana Hotel is about 100 meters away. I am looking forward to returning to Oasis soon.
