She was born and grew up in Thai Muang, just a little further south down the coast from Khao Lak and so learnt the local art of cooking southern style Thai food. All through her childhood she really loved to cook.
As her area of Thailand became a popular tourist destination, Pui knew it was important to study tourism at university but she also wanted to pursue her passion for cooking.
Pui attended Ratchapat University in Phuket for two years studying Tourism Business with also included food and beverage management and three months hands on work experience in a hotel.
Following this Pui headed to Sukhothai University for a further two years studying Tourism. Here she learnt many aspects of the industry including tour guiding, obtaining an official tour guide licence. This licence is required under Thai law when conducting her local market tours.
Pui is friendly and outgoing, speaks an excellent standard of English and has her own, unique taste when it comes to food and cooking.
She has a great wealth of local knowledge and always happy to share this with her students. She is also well travelled after her time at university and spending a lot of time in Germany with her family. She’s even taught her classes there too!
Pui’s Thai cooking class in Khao Lak has been featured and recommended in the German travel magazine, GEO Saison Extra.
