The Culinary Arts Foundation of Thailand was born from the visionary spirit of Brian Pern, a culinary luminary whose love for Thai cuisine knew no bounds. Brian, with his profound admiration for the diverse flavors and techniques that define Thai cooking, dreamt of a platform that would empower aspiring chefs and elevate the culinary landscape of Thailand.

Brian Pern's journey began with a simple yet profound belief - that culinary excellence is an art form that can be mastered one chef at a time. His commitment to mentorship and education laid the foundation for what would eventually become the Culinary Arts Foundation of Thailand.

A Legacy of Education and Excellence

Today, the foundation stands as a testament to Brian's enduring legacy. Through scholarships, workshops, and immersive culinary experiences, we aim to empower the next generation of chefs, providing them with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to push the boundaries of Thai cuisine.
