Ayumi Loenthaisong could not have dreamt of a more convenient location for her projected tea house when she found a seemingly abandoned clay structure located along the northern fence of the main parking lot of the Chiang Mai University Art Center. (formerly called Art Museum) Once the proper permits to conduct business were granted, it took Ayumi another 4 months for construction and preparation before “Din Dee, The Teahouse at the Chiang Mai University Art Center” opened its doors to the public on March 17th, 2007.

The serene village of Ban Com Peung in Chiang Mai's Doi Saket District is the ideal place for an international art activity called "Artist-in Residence Project" pioneered by a young blood artist, "Ong" or Pisitpong Siraphisut, 28, and his foreign partners. This non-profit organization project covers 8 Rai of lush green land near Nong Bua Lake, about 20 kilometres from Chiang Mai city. It features an office, an artist's studio, living quarters, and a spacious open area for exhibiting art pieces or organizing activities. The project has attracted several international artists to present their conceptual art projects and also to work and share their experiences with Thai artists and the local community.

Loud cheers by visitors and villagers were heard as soon as the Akha ritual men begun to perform the high swinging show to mark the start of "Yae Khu Aar Paew" or Akha's Swinging ceremony held recently in Chiang Mai's Mae Ai District of Ban Huay Sai. The Akha way of life can be observed from their characteristic bamboo huts and well preserved culture. After the opening ceremony, an Akha lady in her fine traditional costume sat on a swing and two Akha men pulled the attached vine strings to help her move higher in the air. Other young Akha boys and girls all received their turn in the swinging ceremony which ran late into the day. This Akha cultural tour was organised by The Royal Project Foundation to encourage the cultural preservation of these tribal people and to promote the numerous tourist attractions in the Mae Ai District under The Royal Project Foundation support.

Contemplating the endless variety of small and large tarts, parfait dishes, frozen molded, petit fours, small and large cakes, holiday, party and wedding cakes produced by Chef Fabrice Leblus, one is reminded more of time-consuming artistic creations than pieces of dessert that are popped into one’s mouth, thus destroying these magical visual delights. From the bite-size pastries to the splendid special party and wedding cakes, one has to appreciate all the know-how, efforts and loving care that go into what a normal customer takes so much for granted.
