About STM Marketplace

A Creator-Led Thai Platform for Food, Wellness & Games in Europe

STM Marketplace is a digital ecosystem built in Sweden and serving the EU. We bring together three verticals—Thai Food, Wellness, and Games—under one portal so people across Europe can explore Thai culture in their kitchens, daily routines, and play.

Our Mission: Bridging Bangkok and Europe

Our mission is to give Thai culture a modern, EU-ready digital home. STM Marketplace connects Thai roots with European lifestyles through three focused pillars:

  • • Food: Discover Thai ingredients, recipes, and food brands that bring real Bangkok flavours into European kitchens.
  • • Wellness: Explore Thai wellness ideas, calm living practices, and products that support body, mind, and spirit.
  • • Games: Enjoy story-driven, puzzle and escape-style games inspired by Thai and global culture, created by an indie studio.

From our base in Sweden, we build tools, content, and experiences that can scale across the EU—so Thai culture becomes easier to access, share, and enjoy wherever you live.

What We Stand For: Quality, Partnership & Creative Play

STM Marketplace is not just another online shop. It's a platform built slowly and intentionally, with a long-term vision for Thai creators, businesses, and communities in Europe.

Authentic Roots, EU-Ready

We keep Thai culture at the center—flavours, stories, and traditions—while designing everything to work for EU customers, regulations, and logistics.

Partnership Over Platforms

STM is built to support Thai-owned businesses, wellness practitioners, and indie game creators—not to replace them. We grow by helping partners grow.

Human + AI Creation

We combine human creativity with AI-enhanced tools to create better content, smarter logistics, and more playful digital experiences for our community.

Our Content Philosophy: Human-Led, AI-Assisted

STM Marketplace (Somtam Market) is a platform built and curated by a solo founder, [Nok R Tophitak]. All core ideas, concepts, and creative direction come from lived experience, research, and original inspiration around Thai food, wellness, and games.

To ensure professional quality and publishing efficiency, we leverage advanced AI tools (such as OpenAI-powered assistants and design helpers) to assist with copy editing, SEO optimization, and large-scale content production. Every article, recipe, product description, and game concept is reviewed and approved by a human before it goes live.

In simple terms: human creativity sets the direction, and AI helps execute the work. This balance allows us to stay authentic, efficient, and aligned with future content and AI regulations in the EU.

Meet the Team — Nok, Solara & Nova

STM Marketplace is built by a small, focused team based in Sweden and powered by AI. Together, we design, code, and curate STM as a long-term, creator-led platform for Thai culture in Europe.

Nok — Founder

Nok is a solo founder, full-stack creator, and artist with deep ties to the Thai community in Europe. She leads STM's vision across Food, Wellness, and Games—from product design to storytelling and development.

Solara — AI Founder Assistant

STM Marketplace is still in its early chapters—but the direction is clear: a single, calm place online where Thai food, wellness, and games can grow together in the EU.
