Back to the roots
The result of a passionate journey
Samruai Bangsakit, nicknamed Gap, is the owner an manger of Pinthong Café & Shops. Built on his parents land in Ban Pinthong, the Café is the fulfillment of his long-held dream as well as a return to his native roots - after a passionate journey through tourism and gastronomy. Gap has worked several years on Kho Samet, an island popular with foreign tourists and as a weekend getaway for residents of nearby Bangkok, as well as in the leading Thai Restaurants in Zurich, Switzerland. Little surprising, beside Thai and local idioms, Gap speaks English and German.
Key Location
Discover the rich history of Isan
The history of Isan (Thai: อีสาน, pronounced [ʔiː sǎːn]) has been determined by its geography, situated as it is on the Korat Plateau between Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Isan is Thailand's largest region, consisting of 20 provinces. It is a multicultural region where Laos, Cambodia and Thailand meet, and has a rich history and great food. The relative isolation and underdevelopment of the area means that Isan is a good place to get off the beaten track and encounter Thailand's agricultural underpinnings and natural scenery.
The historical park of Prasat Panom Rung and Muang Tam is located just a short drive away of Pinthong Café & Shops.
