About Thom:
Thom learned to cook from her grandmother "Yai In" a very popular food vendor in one of the local markets in Chiang Mai many years ago. Since I can remember I was surrounded by market, kitchens, and food.
My grandmother had a food store in our local morning market and when l was really young my mum sold desserts and later sold vegetables in Chiang Mai city market.
I guess that's why I am so attracted to the kitchen and food in general. Cooking became my passion and meditation and I began teaching backpackers how to cook traditional Thai food in Pai since 2001.
