Chef Poom comes from an old Thai noble family and was raised in a household deeply rooted in Thailand’s culinary history. He learned the art of cooking from his grandmother, who once prepared food within the royal palace. This upbringing nurtured his passion for authentic Thai cuisine, meticulous cooking methods, and the subtle balance of refined flavors.

Chef Poom began his culinary journey at his family’s garden estate, first cultivated during the time of his great-grandfather. The garden is rich with a wide variety of native Thai plants, instilling in him a deep understanding of the importance of natural ingredients and the preservation of true Thai culinary identity from source to table. He later pursued formal studies in the arts, following in the footsteps of his uncle, a National Artist of Thailand, and continued his education in agriculture in Okinawa, Japan. Chef Poom also plays a key role as an organic farm consultant, supporting the development of high-quality ingredients and promoting sustainable natural farming practices.
