Khun Kim

CHAOPHRAYA / THAIKUN

At the age of just 15 with big dreams and an entrepreneurial spirit, Kim left her village for the busy streets of Bangkok. Kim’s main passion has always been food and so, in 1993, she set up her first Pad Thai cart.

Through pure dedication and hard work, she expanded the business to run several street food stalls and won an award for the delicious flavours of her Pad Thai recipe. This very recipe is still proudly used across her restaurants today. Kim’s flagship restaurants, Chaophraya, now span across the UK with six restaurants all featuring delicious flavours from the beating heart of Thailand, alongside 10 locations for her street food inspired Thaikun.
