About us
Paya Thai Cooking was
established in 2006 by Jirapan, having moved to England from the tropical island of Koh Phangan in
Thailand.
Jirapan has
always had a passion for Thai food, largely due to her family. The name 'Paya' or 'Auntie Ya'
is actually her
mum's Thai nickname as she is known by all the local kids, so this is
very meaningful for her. She was Jirapan's first
inspiration for Thai food and continues to turn out amazing Thai dishes, never happier than when a few unexpected guests arrive to enjoy
her food!
Food and Thai culture go hand in hand. When people meet
in the South of Thailand, they don't ask "how are you?", but instead ask "have you
eaten yet?"!
Thai cooking
classes are taught by Jirapan or Belle. Jirapan and Belle are old
friends from Thailand, having been at university together in Bangkok.
Through Paya Thai Cooking
we hope to share our love and passion for
Thai food, offering modern and stylish Thai catering, and simple, fun and friendly cooking classes.
