About the host

Min and May grew up near Inle Lake in Myanmar’s Shan State, a place where life revolves around the water, morning markets, and floating gardens. There, they learned to cook alongside their mothers and grandmothers, preparing the dishes that are part of everyday life, celebrations, and family gatherings.

A few years ago, they arrived in Chiang Mai and built a new home here. Although they now cook far from the lake, many of the recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods remain the same. At Bamboo Nest at Sanggadee, they open the doors to their kitchen to share those flavors and the stories behind them, creating a space where food becomes a way to get to know Myanmar through the people who cook it.

Perhaps that's why the experience feels so personal. More than just learning a recipe, it's an invitation to sit around the table and share a piece of the history and memories that Min and May brought with them from Inle Lake.

Why experience this in San Kamphaeng?

Located in the San Kamphaeng district, this experience takes place at Bamboo Nest in Sanggadee, a space surrounded by nature on the outskirts of Chiang Mai.

The setting combines vegetable and fruit gardens, a small pond with fish, and open areas that invite people to socialize and work at a leisurely pace. It is a place designed for everyday life in harmony with the environment, where the rhythms of the day are dictated by the surrounding nature.

This is where the experience with Min & May takes place, using fresh ingredients from the garden and the surrounding area to prepare traditional Burmese recipes. The space becomes an open kitchen where the landscape, the food, and the conversation are all part of the same process.
