As chef and owner of Baan Tepa, a restaurant located on farmland, Chef Tam is renowned for her sustainable food concept and emphasis on fresh organic produce. This commitment to sustainable farming and her culinary experimentation, first attracted significant attention when she won Season 1 of Top Chef Thailand in 2017. Being the first to hold this title, as well as the youngest in the competition, garnered her additional acclaim as Thailand’s rising star. Following this win, she travelled across the world, cooking and showcasing modern Thai cuisine.
