Huen Come Residence Chiang Mai

The Beginning of ?Ruen Come In Restaurant and Huen Come Residence? can be dated back to the year 1988, when this golden teakwood mansion was first built. The owner chose golden teakwood in order to reminisce her childhood, running and playing with her cousin in teak wood house in Phrae province.
The construction of the mansion was never been easy. It was difficult to find both the material and man craft. Starting from the teak wood, some were brought from Burma (Through Baan Nhong Ook check point ? it was closed already), some were from old houses in northern Thailand. In total, it took almost 7 years to finish this project.
Once the construction was finished, the owner?s family have moved in and started to decorate. Almost everything were self picked, some trees were self planted (especially the coconut tree, because the owner?s sons like to drink coconut). The atmosphere that surrounds the house is cosy and comfortable, it is a perfect place for oneself to relax.
This mansion served as a private house for only a short period. In 1997, during the ?IMF Era? when Thailand?s rising economy was collapsed, the owner decided to change it into a restaurant, so that other visitors can enjoy the nice atmosphere as well as the architecture. Guests have since then enjoy both the serene setting and taste of the food from family?s recipes (The grandparents used to own a famous restaurant ?Bua Sawan Bar? in Nhong Bua, Doi Saket district, some recipes are from Phrae province)
