Jitrawadee (Dao) & Wiwat Hemmondharop founders of Tonklar Facai are my guests on episode 36 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Dao is a pharmacist and nutritionist co-founder of Tonklarfacai restaurant. Suffering from depression for 10 years she wished to spend the rest of her life in a positive environment. In 2010, Dao & Wiwat started the social enterprise business Tonklar Facai.
“Eat better, Eat Food as Medicine”
"Let’s start by eating right. You are what you eat. To live well in the future is to eat well today. While vitamin and food supplements are derived from fruits and vegetables, wouldn’t it be better we take food nutrients directly from the source?"
They work with doctors from Siriraj Hospital and he is the head of Siriraj Applied Thai Traditional Medicine. Also with Siriraj Applied Thai Traditional Medicine philosophy called Thammanamai in Thai or Healthy by Natural Method: healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy behavior. So, we have agreed to develop the food under the concept of 'eat food as medicine rather than eat medicine as the food'. Then, we utilized all the wisdom & knowledge of Thai food & Thai Traditional Medicine to create & set up a healthy food business."
