Buddhist Monks are not allowed to consume any food from to afternoon until the morning except this cuisine which is considered as a herbal medicine that help to relieve constipation. In the past 'ปรมัตถ์ (po-ra-mat)' consists of many exotic herbs, but in nowadays, this cuisine have hybrid receipt that contain the ingredients from both oriental and occidental countries.

In "Things Inside_11 (Ode to My Origin)", the installative live performance, Chaiworawat reveals his personal ritual in dedication to the persons who gave him origin.
In order to participate in the 31st Century in Bangkok 2018, Chaiworawat was looking for many sources of inspiration in Bangkok. But he realizes that he was unable to make any connection or any expression with things that are far away. He chose thus to convey what is closed, related to him and linked it into art context with honesty. He decided to represent his activity, visiting his parents'
grave at Wat Suwan on a regular basis. He always brings cans of beer and cigarettes, the things that his father liked and they were also the reason that caused the death of Chaiworawat’s parents in his childhood.
Chaiworawat has been impressed by the concrete relationship between his father and his mother that is seen from his originators, his mother's death was on New Year’s Eve at the age of 45. Four years later, his father was passed away on Christmas Eve, which is the same date of his mother's birthday and he had 45 years of age also.

"Older Chest", an exhibition of the trace of performances that represents the intention of Chaiworawat which is to concretize the abstraction of the time (Body) and the space (Mind).
The exhibition contains 3 pieces of work;
Things inside_08 (Notes from the past)
Things inside_09 (Kesha)
Things inside_10 (From time to time)
These projects were created by daily performances that Chaiworawat added alternative activities into his daily life in order to experience in between the time and the space. Traces of performances were transformed across the academic disciplines such as painting, sculpture, photography and mixed-media installation.

"Things Inside_10 (From time to time)", daily performative installation that Chaiworawat added an activity into his daily activities. He carried stone prepared to construct and repair streets in Munich with his 2 hands from Trudering to the spaces of Akademie der Bildenden Künste München (ADBK) everyday for 60 days.
This acts shows the distance between the time related with the space, from one place to another place. Chaiworawat is interested in the definition of “ From time to time” which means sometime. This significant makes him know that he can reveal just the part of time, not the whole. But contra-wise, he can represent results which are influent by time.
The more that objects are shifted, from one space to another, the more that they could represent the shift of mind in be- tween the time (body) in concrete way (even though they’re still abstract by themselve). In order to represent the unsta- bilities of the space (mind), the stone was shift from its origin to several places in ADBK.
The trace (stone) of the performance was transformed to an installation, a path that Chaiworawat considered as the path of time in a concrete way, in an exhibition “Older Chest”, the viewers were invited to experience the exhibition by walking on the installation, and another “Mobilities or Whatever” that the installtion was paired up with 60 photographs of documentation of the stone placed in the space in each day.
