TAMATHA GASTROMNOMY
STUDIO
Bangkok, Thailand
Tamatha is more than a gastronomy studio; it is a philosophy,
a way of being. Situated within a home, it is shaped not only by its food but by the space, its surroundings, and the people who live here.
Its name comes from the Pali term "Dhammata," which reflects the natural way things unfold according to their inherent nature.
In Buddhist philosophy, Dhammata is the silent, unshaken rhythm of existence—the truth that everything arises, exists for a time, and inevitably fades away. From the growth of a tree to the emotions we experience, everything follows its own natural course.
Tamatha embraces this impermanence, not as an anomaly but as the essence of life itself.
Before Tamatha came to life,
we spent years shaping our identity
to fit the ever-changing trends of the food industry.
We experimented with different names, concepts, and culinary styles.

A Story
Once Believed
​
In trying to replicate Michelin-starred techniques,
we lost sight of the soul behind our food.
What we created looked refined and tasted acceptable, yet it lacked true meaning and emotion.
The joy of cooking was overshadowed by the pressure to meet expectations, and behind every smile, there was an unspoken weariness.
We had convinced ourselves that reaching a certain status would bring lasting happiness, but every achievement only led to another longing.
The cycle was endless—a constant chase for a future that never truly arrived.
The Present
Tamatha was born from the realization that fulfillment is not found in chasing perfection, but in embracing imperfection—
in accepting the present moment as it is, fluid and ever-changing.
​
For us, this means moving away from the obsession with flawless presentation, rigid standards, and external validation. Instead, we focus on raw authenticity—the food, the hands that craft it, and the fleeting, beautiful moment in which it is shared. This philosophy extends to our handcrafted dining-ware and artwork, where each imperfection is a mark of uniqueness, a reflection of life itself.
​
To live with Tamatha is to see that imperfection is not a flaw but a truth—one that, when embraced, brings freedom, creativity, and a deeper connection to the present moment. By accepting impermanence, we stop striving for what is unattainable and start fully experiencing what is already here.
​
After all, it is impermanence that gives life its depth and beauty. The river flows, the seasons shift, the self transforms. This is not a loss, but a liberation—a reminder that true freedom is not in possession, but in aligning ourselves with the natural rhythm of things.
​
Tamatha is a place to reconnect with food, with others, and with yourself
Welcome to the table.
