Last weekend’s family trip to Prachuap Khiri Khan was about more than paying respects. Jay’s cousin Jom welcomed us with coconuts from her orchard — cracked fresh for juice and sweet flesh, and even sent us home with mature ones to plant. That’s Thai culture: sharing, even in solemn moments.

Driving into Chiang Rai’s highlands meant narrow roads, sharp turns, and heavy mist over the ridges. The climb took us deep into the hills—toward villages and coffee farms that have been here for generations.

Harvest Moments
Bright reds, steady hands, changing seasons
⠀
This is where our story begins-not in cafés or cupping rooms but in these quiet sunlit days
⠀
Not yet baristas, but growers, producers, caretakers of the land
⠀
Our role may grow in time. But for now, it’s boots in the dirt, baskets full

🍍 Hungry & on the hunt for pineapple.
🐔 Wanted a quick meal—stir-fried chicken & pineapple it is.
✨ Not usually a fan of cooked fruit, but the caramelized juice here works!
🌿 We’re not chefs—we’re farmers.

📍From the family farm in Lamae
Planted this peanut butter fruit tree 3 years ago… and now it’s thriving!
🥜The fruit tastes exactly like peanut butter—w/ a jammy texture & a rich nutty bite. If you’re a PBJ fan, this is it!
Let’s see if we can grow more fr seed & plant a few at White Lake 🌱💚

This view was behind us—sometimes it’s what’s behind you that reminds you how far you’ve come.
From golden bursts to soft gray-blues framed by coconut palms… scenes like this make it easy to fall in love w/ Lamae again & again.

#Community enterprises are how many small #coffee farms work together to develop crops, markets, and ultimately their way of life.
We’re here visiting one in the heart of #Thailand‘s coffee country in capital city, Chumphon.

Songkran Day 3 🌸
Back at the family farm, we poured scented water over Mama Pan & Papa Duke’s hands-an act of respect & to receive blessings for the new year.
Jay’s uncle bathed Buddha too. A quieter side of Songkran: reflection, renewal & gratitude.

Hit the road w/ our niece, nephew, uncle & mom—joining the flow in nearby towns where water flew from every truck, bike, & roadside bucket.
More than just fun, splashing H2O symbolizes washing away the old & stepping into the new year refreshed. ✨🇹🇭

From quiet blooms to splash zones 🌸💦
Our Songkran Day 1 started with Queen’s Wreath blossoms and birdsong on the farm. By afternoon, Lamae was alive—kids with buckets, barrels in truck beds, and pink splashes marking every passerby… even our bronze Subaru! 🚗🎨

Woke to Queen’s Wreath blooming in the morning sun—calm, quiet, bees buzzing. Last night we trekked dark hills after a belated birthday to be home with mom & dad.
Today? Songkran begins. The calm gives way to festive mayhem—Thailand’s New Year in full swing!
