Since the owner was a child, the family's main income came from her mother. The owner's mother's job was to bring the coconuts from her garden to sell at a floating market. The mother continued this job until the owner grew up and has her own family. After the owner is able to sustain the family, she wants her mother to stop selling coconuts at the floating market, rest, and spend time with her children, therefore, she intends to build a house for her mother to live in and to use as a family gathering place. The site is a coconut garden located in Amphawa district, Samut Songkhram, Thailand. Only 1 Kilometer from the site, there is the Amphawa floating market which is famous for local Thai desserts, and Thai food, and a boat trip along the Mae Klong River to see fireflies.
