Pun Pun = thousand variety

“Pun Pun is a small organic farm, seed-saving center, and sustainable living and learning center. We strive to find more ways to live a more self-reliant lifestyle by cultivating our own food, building our own natural homes, and experimenting with low-tech appropriate technologies. We seek to bring back the tradition of seed saving amongst farmers and growers by collecting, propagating, and exchanging indigenous and rare varieties. We seek to live simply and continue to learn”.

It is more than eating. It's a totally charming experience that gives you the opportunity to be in peace while approaching a food that is deeply developed in taste and at the same time extremely simple.
Rachabordin is an Architect from north east of Thailand and since 6 years ago I jumped into a food adventure in Chiang Mai. What he did is vanguard. For Thailand as for the our western world.
All the menu is vegetarian and he works only at lunch time. To arrive there you need to pass Wat Suan Dork, one of the "must-see" temples in Chiang Mai. In fact this incredible place for eating and relaxing is in courtyard of the temple. He has a farm, 40miles out the city in the countryside where he grows vegetables with organic methods. In the period I’ve spent up in Chiang Mai I’ve been sever time to enjoy his food and I have to say it was always a surprise!
Racha, is a simple man, fully into his job which loves. You can say that as soon as you enter and start looking at the menu.
He was able during the years to establish a network of farmers nearby his farm and now what he offer is a very diverse menu full of colors tastes and smells. Fruits and vegetable salads. Rice with pineapple and nuts, tofu with sesame. Refreshing juice with ginger and honey. A salad of sprouts and greens that alone look like a project of architecture. Well it is just incredible what he is doing! All is based on quality and extraordinary kept simple and tasty! Working only at lunch he is able to attract may tourist and as well locals that want something different. Thai cuisine, in fact, is a lot about chicken and pork and to find a place that offers veggies at this level it is almost a challenge in the city!
Rachabording has been at the last edition of  Terra Madre, where he says, “I’ve just seen with my eyes that what I’m doing here is possible for the world”. Everything is genuine, tables re settled around a huge tree, you eat under its shadow experiencing the silence and relaxing atmosphere of being surrounded by temples.
