Ta Kien Tia Community

Chonburi

The people of Ta Kien Tia have been living under the shade of the area’s coconut trees for over a century. Not only do they plant and harvest the trees, but they have also created a new and diverse mix of cultures through their cuisine, healthcare, crafts and everyday artifacts. Here, you can get a taster of everyday life as you enjoy various coconut delicacies, such as coconut coffee – a special mix of coffee and creamy coconut milk, as well as the famous stir-fried coconut shell with chicken dish. Unwind and let go of all your stress with a coconut oil spa session; practice your creativity with coconut shell tie-dyeing; and travel back in time by exploring the cultural heritage at Ban Roi Sao (the Houses of a Hundred Pillars). You can enjoy all of this on your fascinating, insightful journey along the coconut trail laid by the people of Ta Kien Tia.
