ART AND HERITAGE : THE WOODEN KITCHEN TOOLS OF KON TAM MAI
Attention to detail is perhaps less common in today ’ s society , which tends to emphasize speed over quality . Many of us , accustomed to convenience , have lost sight of the time , energy and skill required to shape raw material into a work of art .

Founder Noi spent much of her childhood admiring the wooden boats that her grandfather used to build and she now brings the joy and heritage of traditional Thai woodwork to the home cook .
