Ang Sila Village & Nong Mon Bamboo Sticky Rice

DETAILS

    hrs Estimate Duration

Mingle with the locals in two coastal areas known more for their signature products than their beaches and seaside attractions. You will first visit Ang Sila, an engaging city revered for its hand-carved stoneware, especially granite mortars and pestles used for grinding spices. This prized piece of kitchenware is prevalent throughout Ang Sila, which means “stone basin.” Even so, fishing is the primary industry and most of the local seafood recipes call for spices—preferably ground with a stone mortar and pestle. Sticky rice is the iconic product associated with the Chon Buri province. Served as a signature dessert known as Khao Lam, sticky rice is typically mixed with coconut milk, black beans, sugar and salt before being roasted over an open fire in a stout bamboo tube. As you will discover firsthand at the Nong Mon Market, Khao Lam is a delicious treat any time of the day.


HIGHLIGHTS:
• Meander through two beautiful coastal areas known for rather unusual signature products.
• Learn why Ang Sila is revered for its stone mortars and pestles and buy one if you wish.
• Sample the iconic sticky rice dessert long associated with Nong Mon Market.
