Jaree Noisamlee
Executive Chef

Originally from Trang in the south of Thailand, Chef Jaree studied cookery at Pranakorntai University in Bangkok before joining the famous Mandarin Oriental. When Baan Rim Pa was established in 1990, she was asked to join the small team by Khun Das (Baan Rim Pa’s Managing Director) who had also been seconded from Mandarin Oriental and has been here ever since.

Chef Jaree has always been a totally "hands on" chef and continues to thrive in the kitchen making sure her team keep to the highest standards and quality expected of "Royal Thai" cuisine. She runs a very tight ship with a small team of 17 in the kitchen. In high season they can produce up to 700 dishes in one day which can be a major challenge for any team.

If you ask her why she is still at Baan Rim Pa, her reply is simple, "I work for good people and I love to cook Thai food and I love Baan Rim Pa."
