Sanh found that the agricultural geography of Thailand qualified for planting cacao trees. The first cacao plant in Chiang Mai, Sanh crossed two cacao varieties and created his own hybrid called "I.M.1". He and Thip formed MarkRin Farms, to support and form a cooperative, so cacao farmers have a stable occupation since cacao is a monocrop and intercrop.

All in good taste
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 05/10/2018
» Small portions, several dishes, a single meal… tasting menus are all the rage in Bangkok, especially since the launch of the Michelin Guide. While a few argue that a degustation menu (the French word for tasting menu, oh la la!) may not be the best way to tackle what a restaurant has on offer, fine dining aficionados beg to differ.
