Driven by passion
Siamaya Chocolate was created in Chiang Mai in 2017 by Neil Ransom. He learned every step of chocolate making from scratch, and has since dedicated himself to improving and perfecting the quality of their chocolate products.
The story continues
Making bean-to-bar chocolate means taking total control of the chocolate making process, and Siamaya makes its own base chocolates from locally sourced Thai cacao beans. Our recipes combine cacao with ingredients such as milk, fruit, nuts and spices.
Siamaya continues to innovate Thai-inspired chocolates, using the best local cacao and the highest quality ingredients.
Meet our cacao farmers
Our cacao comes from farms in Thailand that we know by name. Khun Pathom runs the Thai Coffee & Cocoa Cooperation in Lampang, just south of Chiang Mai. He grows young cacao trees in his nurseries, supplies them to local farmers and supports them through the growing season. He then buys their harvests and ferments and dries the beans at his own facility in Lampang.
We have bought directly from Khun Pathom for years, and every batch can be traced from the farm to our bars.
Natural ingredients purchased directly from local farmers
Our chocolate is only as good as our ingredients. We buy cacao directly from farmers and local co-ops.
Unexpected combinations, infusions, and flavors
In our pursuit of delicious and distinctive Thai-inspired chocolates, we continue to innovate new flavors, improve our chocolates, and search for the best ingredients. On our quest, we surprise and delight our customers with unexpected combinations, infusions, and flavors, some of which have been recognized with international chocolate awards.
We are committed
Environmental sustainability
Embracing eco-friendly practices, we utilize recycled paper, soya-based inks, and reduce waste across our production processes. This commitment is a cornerstone of our ongoing efforts to minimize our environmental footprint.
In developing our packaging, we've taken significant steps towards sustainability. This intentional decision mirrors our commitment to the zero-waste cause, underscoring our dedication to an environmentally conscious and responsible approach in every aspect of our production.
We use Thai cacao and carefully selected ingredients.
Direct trade
We work directly with Thai cacao farmers and local co-ops. This approach is known as direct trade.
Equality and education
We have a recruitment policy, which ensures a balanced workforce, including equal numbers of men and women, as well as diversity in terms of sexual orientation, race, religion, etc. This policy also ensures that our employees are paid fairly, and treated with respect.
We invite students from all schools in Chiangmai to visit us for both chocolate making workshops as well as teaching about how to start up small businesses and what it means to have social awareness and sustainability as key values.
