We are coming to the end of November 😊
We would like to Thank you for your kindness.πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

This month has been the highest tipping month for our team β€”
because of you.🩷

Your generosity helped many of our team lighten family expenses,
support their family, pay for school trip,
make their very first investment for a future project,
and even prepare a thoughtful Christmas gift for loved ones.

And something that moved us deeply β€”
All of our staff used their own wages to return as customers.😍πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯°

Your kindness reaches further than you see.
You’re not just supporting a restaurant β€”
you’re building people,
lifting hearts,
and shaping futures. 🀍✨

Dear Hungry Monkey Family,
Happy 15th Anniversary! πŸŽ‰

It all started from something simple β€”
I just didn’t like seeing anyone go hungry,
because I’ve always loved food myself.
That love turned into a dream:
to create a space where people could share meals, laughter, and warmth together.

Fifteen years later, that small dream has grown into something far greater than I ever imagined.
Hungry Monkey became more than just a restaurant β€”
it became a family built on kindness, resilience, and genuine connection.

There were hard days and uncertain moments,
times when things didn’t go as planned.
But every challenge taught us something new,
and every smile from our customers reminded me why this journey is worth it.

Success, to me, isn’t about perfection.
It’s about people β€”
the customers who return with smiles,
the team who gives their heart every single day,
and the community that continues to believe in us.

To everyone who has shared this journey β€”
thank you for being part of our story,
for believing, supporting, and growing with us through every chapter.
You are the heart and soul of Hungry Monkey.🧑

Every smile is my greatest pride.
Mistakes are simply spaces for growth.
And I wish our Hungry Monkey’s family
many more decades of sharing joy, learning, and growing together.

With love and gratitude,
Yoong πŸ’πŸ’›

Who are the Thai Yong People? 🌿 πŸ–πŸ–πŸ–

The Thai Yong are a proud ethnic group from Muang Yong, an ancient community once part of northern Myanmar.
More than 200 years ago, they journeyed across mountains to northern Thailand β€” settling in Lamphun and Chiang Mai β€” bringing with them their soft-spoken language, woven textiles, and recipes that connect land, family, and spirit.

Thai Yong cooking is simple, herbal, and soulful.
It’s the taste of harmony β€” fermented soy (thua nao), hand-pounded chili paste, mountain herbs, and the gentle patience that comes from generations of home kitchens.

Today, their heritage lives quietly in the north of Thailand β€”
in temple fairs, the rhythm of weaving looms, and the shared meal at sunset.
Every dish tells a story of roots, resilience, and love. 🀎
