Who is Chef Pui

BrassWok is led by Chef Pui, who pursued her passion with a second degree from Le Cordon Bleu Dusit’s Professional Thai Cuisine. She believes that you will be surprised by how simple Thai cooking can be and wants to promote locally grown ingredients that are forgotten or overlooked. This nutritious local produce of home-style dishes never made it on the menu of established restaurants, and she wants to shine the light on them as well. And her aim is to make sure you will be able to create the Thai flavour you crave with your available ingredients when you go back home.

Her classes have received all 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor with Certificate of Excellence 2018 and 2019 before covid locked down the island for a couple of years. Now, for advance booking, BrassWok opens cooking classes at Thai House private residence, an approximately a 10-minute drive from Laguna Phuket. The new venue is a hidden gem. A small complex of traditional Thai style wooden villas that will flash you back to the old Ayudhya period. The Sala by the pond will remind you of how water is life in Thai living.
