My Thai Chef began not in a restaurant kitchen, but in a family home in rural Thailand — where Chef Selly first learned to cook at her mother's side. That same spirit of home-taught, generations-deep Thai cooking is what we bring to your table today, whether that's in the comfort of your Phuket villa, at Chef Selly's Garden, or on the Blue Bay sky terrace. What started with one chef has grown into a family affair — sisters, a daughter, and a son, each bringing their own part to the table, all rooted in the same simple belief: authentic Thai food, made with fresh ingredients and real care.

​

Chef Selly

Chef Selly was taught to cook from a young age by her mother, growing up in rural Thailand. Those early years in the kitchen shaped a deep, instinctive understanding of Thai flavors long before she ever cooked professionally. From 2012 to 2014, she honed her skills as a private chef for a luxury villa, before founding My Thai Chef in 2014 — bringing that same authentic, home-taught approach directly to guests' tables across Phuket.

​

Chef Piow 
Chef Selly's younger sister, Chef Piow, also grew up cooking alongside their mother. Together, the sisters have worked to keep their family's traditional recipes true to their roots, while elevating them with quality ingredients — using premium cuts of meat and fresh, high-grade vegetables in place of what was affordable and available growing up. Fresh ingredients and strict food hygiene standards are at the heart of everything they prepare, ensuring every dish is as safe as it is delicious. The result is Thai food that tastes exactly as it should, made even better.

​

Grace 
The next generation is already finding her way into the kitchen. Grace, Chef Selly's 14-year-old daughter, is following in her mother's footsteps — learning how to identify the freshest ingredients, proper food hygiene, and the same recipes and traditions that have been passed down through the family for generations. It's a reminder that My Thai Chef isn't just a business, but a family legacy still being written.

​

Captain 
Chef Selly's son, Captain, is an 18-year-old, shy young man with a genuine love of BBQ. For the past two years, he's worked alongside his mother whenever school allowed, honing his craft over years of grilling for the family — and now for My Thai Chef guests. Self-taught and always improving, Captain has become quite the BBQ chef in his own right, rounding out a family team dedicated to bringing authentic Thai flavor to every occasion.

Our Values 

Every dish we serve is rooted in three generations of Thai cooking — from Chef Selly and Chef Piow's mother, to the sisters themselves, to Grace now learning at their side. We honor traditional recipes exactly as they were taught, while insisting on the freshest and best ingredients and the highest standards of food hygiene in everything we prepare. Whether we're cooking for you in your villa, or you are joining us at Chef Selly's Garden, or on the Blue Bay sky terrace, you're not just booking a meal — you're welcomed into a family tradition. Always Dine Fresh.
