Crafting Traditions, Bridging Flavors: A Journey of Passion and Taste
From the vibrant streets of Bangkok to Melbourne’s heart, my culinary path intertwines culture and passion. Growing up in Bangkok’s tapestry, my fascination with flavours started at 6, when I learned recipes from my mother and family. Street food adventures in Bangkok sparked my love.
Melbourne, in 2010, brought homesickness and a craving for authentic Thai. Working in Aussie Thai kitchens fueled my dream: Nakorn Thai Restaurant & Bar. Born from passion, it’s a tribute to tradition, bridging the gap between Australia and Thailand’s flavours. Join me on this journey through time and taste.

OUR TEAM
“The amount of work that it takes to both find great staff and then keep great staff, the amount of work that it takes to train everybody so they’re ready to put forth the vision you’ve created — it’s an extremely HR-dependent business. I think a lot of people that go into opening restaurants are all about the food, which I am as well, but you learn very quickly that it’s all about the people.” – Joanne Chang
“When you run a kitchen, no matter how crazy and chaotic it gets, you have to be the calm one. You cannot show any sign of fear – the guests pick up on it. The beauty of this kitchen, though, is that everybody helps everybody.” – Nina Compton
