Speaking of the East, it is no doubt that many people would think of the lively beach and beautiful sea of Pattaya, Chonburi. However, that is not all the east has to offer, you can also have even more special experience in this city through experiencing the Muslim’s way of life at ‘Ban Nern Plub Wan Community’.

In the midst of light and sound of Pattaya, the Muslim community of Ban Nern Plub Wan is a peaceful community. It is ready to welcome MICE travellers to relax and learn the traditional Muslim’s way of life through multiple activities: visiting the mosque, cooking and tasting your self-made halal dishes, such as goat curry and roti, and joining creative workshops to make keychains from goat skin and soap from goat milk that are both workable.

Let’s move on from the sea city to a dream destination for those who are passionate about the delicious taste of Thai fruits. At ‘Khao Bai Si Community’ in Tha Mai district, Chanthaburi, it is filled with the way of life of those people who have been making a living from fruit farming since their grandparents generations. So, the community is surrounded by many old orchards where there are many fruits, including durian; the king of fruits, mangosteen; the queen of fruits, rambutan, salak, and langsat. Some of the trees are enormous and even have lived for more than a hundred years. If you are visiting during the harvest time, you can also walk around the orchards while tasting fresh fruits on the trees blissfully.

Moreover, that is not all this community has to offer. You can learn about villagers’ folk wisdom that passed on across the generations, for example, tending the orchard by using underground reservoir tunnels while also enjoying fruit dishes cooking workshops, such as salak chilli paste, mangosteen salad, and salacca & crab rice which are rare dishes that can be hard to find in other areas.
