With over 200 cacao trees and countless stingless bees, <a href="https://montarahospitality.com/pru-jampa-farm/?DestinAsian">Pru Jampa</a> Farm at Tri Vananda is a hive of activity and the source of fresh organic ingredients for both <a href="https://destinasian.com/phuket-dining-pru/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pru</a> and <a href="https://jamparestaurant.com/?DestinAsian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jampa</a> restaurants. The 24,000-square-meter space is both a working farm and a nature classroom. A clutch of seemingly cheerful chickens produce eggs for the restaurants and white Muscovy ducks swim rings on the pond. Designed to minimize its environmental footprint through the farm-to-table process, it’s an interesting place to visit and the team are justifiably proud of the work here. The honey from the stingless bees is used at Jampa and Pru and also sold onsite (it is reputed to have medicinal properties). From growing edible Mexican sunflowers, mangos, and apples to making their own charcoal, every small space is put to use here. Water comes from a private reservoir, with the surplus funneled to the local community at no charge. On Saturdays the farm is open to the public. Hideaway at Jampa includes a guided tour of the farm and a sharing-style tasting menu cooked over an open flame. —Alison Marshall
