Our story
2019
Baan Mok began as a family plot of old fruit orchard that nobody wanted to farm any more. It faced the right way.
Every morning in the cold season, mist from the national park pours into the valley below the plot. We spent a year watching where it settled before drawing a single line, and placed each pavilion so that it looks over the thickest part.
The pavilions are built from reclaimed teak, local slate and clay plaster by builders from Pak Chong. Forty-one of the old mango and longan trees are still standing between them.
