At Rim Tai Kitchen at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, the lively aroma of Thai herbs fills the air as guests dive into a hands-on culinary journey, led by the spirited Chef Suwattana Boonyarattananusorn, fondly known as Chef Tor.
With a passion for food and a playful personality, Chef Tor enriches each cooking class with his wit, storytelling, and expert tips, making the experience unforgettable.
Hailing from a small village in Chiang Rai, Chef Tor’s love for cooking started early. “My first dish was a green curry—it had potential!” he laughs.

Now, as the Resort’s Thai Chef Instructor, he guides guests through Thai cuisine, showcasing dishes like the famous Khao Soi Gai, Northern Thai Curry Soup with Chicken. The secret to this dish, he reveals with a smile, is in the Khao Soi chili paste, perfected after years of refining.
Partnering with Chef Tor is Executive Chef Alvin Dela Cruz, whose culinary expertise elevates every dish at the cooking school. With over a decade of experience and a Le Cordon Bleu degree, Chef Alvin views each class as a celebration of Thai culture, designed to spark a deeper connection to the food and its roots.
