My boyfriend and i recently went to a new Thai restaurant to celebrate the end of student life as we know it and becoming full functional graduates, hopefully. As-well as staring loving into his eyes, through the course of the meal, i found myself gazing admirably around at my surroundings especially the bronze coated authentic nickel engraved cutlery we were supplied with. This restaurant had definitely done its research and really thought about creating a space where following dining you would feel perfectly at ease walking out onto phang nga bay and continuing your evening with a blue elephant Bangkok cocktail. Not stepping out onto a miserable grey pavement surrounded by pre-18 girls tottering about on their heels trying to get into the local pubs as we did. Yuck.
Along with the cutlery, beautiful wooden carved furniture and decorative panels lined the space. I remember visiting a workshop in Thailand a few years ago and actually seeing the wood carving in process. I undoubtedly found the process and final outcome beautiful and interesting but was concerned that carved wood furniture, if put in the wrong space, may seem outdated and misunderstood. I was proved wrong the inclusion of a vast number of wooden carvings along with the occasional sporadically placed happy Buddha, created the perfect environment for experiencing a tasty Thai treat!
These images are not of the actual Wood carving but you get the picture.
