I am a native of northeast Thailand, where my love for cooking was nurtured by my grandmother in her kitchen. After receiving my degree in Accounting, I moved to Bangkok. There I soon realized my love was for cooking and eating beans and not in counting them. To expand my culinary skills, I enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu where I learned Western cooking and basic culinary skills. After graduation, I then enrolled in Dusit Thani Culinary College to further my Thai cooking knowledge.

For the past 6 years, I have been fortunate to work as a professional culinary instructor at Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy and Thai Chef School, leading Thai cooking schools in Bangkok. During this time, I taught Thai cooking to many tourists as well as professional culinary students (aspiring chefs, yacht chefs, executive chefs) from around the world in weeklong private training courses. Additionally, I am a master fruit carver and a team building specialist.

I love eating, cooking, and teaching Thai cooking (oh, and my son too). Please join me and let's have fun learning together.

We teach Thai cooking to beginners and professionals alike. Please feel free to visit our websites.

Recipes are authentic and accurate. Videos are filmed in HD and well-lighted. Sound is good and English is good. Beautiful presentation of dishes is emphasized. If you have any questions about the course content, please post a question or send a direct message to me. I will answer your message promptly.
