- I get a lot of questions from you guys asking about my "back story" because after years of doing videos, I've never taken the time to really introduce myself to you and tell you who the heck I am! So here's a video where I tell you where I came from, how I learned to cook, and how I came to do what I do now on RUclips. I hope you enjoy it and feel like you know me a little better!

About Pai:
Pailin “Pai” Chongchitnant is the author of the Hot Thai Kitchen cookbook, co-host of a Canadian TV series One World Kitchen on Gusto TV, and creator and host of the RUclips channel Pailin's Kitchen.
Pai was born and raised in southern Thailand where she spent much of her "playtime" in the kitchen. She traveled to Canada to study Nutritional Sciences at the University of British Columbia, and was later trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in San Francisco.
After working in both Western and Thai professional kitchens, she decided that her passion really lies in educating and empowering others to cook at home via RUclips videos, her cookbook, and cooking classes.

What does Adam look like?
your show inpired me! im thai blood also ya😀
We went to the same culinary school! When were you there? I do not recognize the kitchens in your photos. I was there in 2002-2003, when they were still on Polk Street.
I love watching your shows. When I watch your shows it gives me this feeling of Thai Pride because growing up I did not have that many Thai female stars to look up to here in America. I'm a mix of 3 different kinds of asian. I'm Lao, Thai, & Chinese and even though you live in Canada, you're still "North" American to me lol 😉😄😁. I am so thankful that youtube was able to help you launch your career and I'm so thankful that you've found success beyond it. We need more strong asian female role models in the world especially in these tough times. So thank you Pai, you are an amazing human being. Please keep making more shows. Can you make one about how you met your hubby and what was your first meal you ever cooked him? Mine was what I thought was "american" spaghetti Lol. My hubby is caucasian and today is actually his birthday. We've been married for 9 years, but when we first met I didn't know how to cook anything "american" besides my mom's version of American spaghetti. Because growing up she only cooked Lao & Thai food and "spaghetti" was the only American thing she would make once in a while.
She’s the epitome of what can be great about RUclips. She has brains, creativity, drive, and charm. Her recipes are a gift to those who make them and learn from them, as well as for those who get to eat the results. She has earned her 1M subscribers the honest way. Pai, good for you!
well said!!
Two reasons I watch this channel.
1. I love Thai food.
2. The personality.
Pai is my go-to Chef for anything Thai. She's perfect in every way!
Life of Pai
I was married to a beautiful Thai woman for 27 years. I met her in High school in Ramstein Germany. Last year she passed away from breast cancer. Your show gave me hope and taught me how to cook the delicious food that I love so much. Thank you!
Okay now that's clever...
🤩
@James Meadørs sorry for your loss James...😢

I’m Japanese and ever lived in Thailand but K’Pai has no Thai Accent at all! I amazed you’ve just started English environment life from 12 years old and got that native level English! 🌟 Thank you for teaching the authentic Thai recipes in beautiful English
Pai. Thanks for sharing your story. You connect very well with your viewers. I have been to Thailand 22 times over the past 11 years and have fallen in love with the culture, the people and the food as I have worked with orphans in the north. Discovering your channel two years ago was a blessing. Watching you cook wonderful dishes teleports me mentally back to the land, people and the food I love.
I like that she mentioned her live-in nanny who made yummy food for her family.
I'm Thai and I can tell that this channel is even better than many Thai language channels I've watched. The recipes were very detailed and authentic. So if you want to learn how to cook Thai foods, you come to the right place. ;)

peakarach very informative.. thanks

I actually love pai, I find her show so entertaining and I don't even cook 😂
It's interesting to me that when you went to New Zealand you thought all the food there was new and exotic. Here in Australia when Thai food started to become more readily available, to me, it was new and exotic. It instantly became one of my two favourite cuisines, Lebanese food is my other favourite.
I’m Thai , live in the uS and love cooking and eating good spicy food. I enjoy your show and you know and cook well. You’re lucky. Vancouver has many great restaurants and good to know some authentic Thai restaurants.
You have the clearest speaking voice....so easy on the ears and eyes. Keep up the good work.
By far, one of my two favorite internet personalities. Thank you Pai for many lunch, dinner and desert dishes for my family.
Awesome story! Congrats on your cook book and show! Total inspiration :)
love your channel and I always look forward to every cook/chef personal story! So thank you for sharing. You are so fun and look forward to your new recipes.

Cooking is love. A gift from God to be explored forever. An endless combination of flavors, imagination and talent of a few, yet shared by a common standardization of taste we all have.
Thanks for sharing your love with all of us.
What an incredibly interesting life you have had! I will start watching your programs and I am sure they will be terrific!
This has made my day. You are a true inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story. I wish you may wonderful years to come. Looking forward to following you along those years. Thank Pai :)

It's always awesome to know more about the people you watch and love on RUclips. Not everybody is interesting talking about their lives or answering Q&A, but you've proven that you have the charisma for this. Great video ;)
I love u Pai !! I love your show from Paris ! I follow all your recipies. Thaï food always the best !
thanks for taking time to do this!! I've been so curious. love ya!!
Thank you for sharing this!! This is really very inspiring. All the best in all your endeavour!
I love not only your recipes/videos, but your upbeat personality! You’re simply talented, relatable and adorable.
Thanks so much for sharing your story and also thank you very much for all your awesome videos. I'm half Thai half German and grew up in Germany, so I don't know much about Thai Recipes, so your videos helped me a lot to learn something about Thai Food!
Thank you for providing an introduction on your background. You are now my new favourite chef……well actually #2……right behind Chef Jean Pierre!
But given he has been cooking for 50 years……you have plenty of time to catch him!!
Cod Bless!! 😂😂
I love your joyful approach to cooking and the easy way you pull us all into the kitchen ! Wishing you continued success and looking forward to many many more shows !
you're an inspiration, Pai!
can't believe I've subscribed to your channel for 2 years already, still remember when I was in Finland and one of the rare Asian shops in town was owned by a Thai lady and they had Thai curry paste on a great price. Then I started looking at recipes on RUclips and found your channel! You're really smart and I adore you for bringing the authentic taste of Southeast Asia to the world!
I love the way you're doing your cooking on your channel and l'm really proud of being native Hatyai as you.
Thank you for sharing, love you Pai! Keep those awesome videos coming : )
Dear Pai, you should be on PBS and teaching people all over the world how to cook Thai food, your instructions are easy enough to follow and you have lots of great recipes that's very exciting to watch, keep up the good work.

Hello Pai, your voice is so lovely and the art of laughing with ever word being spoken. Greets from Germany.
Pai is the best! how incredible your life steps brought you where you wanted to be, fit the sake of all of us that enjoy your videos! all the best Pai
I've learned to cook Thai recipes from your RUclips channel. However it does help that I'm married to my Thai wife. Of 32yrs. I've made 7 trips to Thailand. I believe I have my favorite dishes down, but my eyes are wide open to your recipes Pai. Thank you for sharing.
WOW!! What a life so far!! It is a privilege and a pleasure to be able to visit with you and learn from you. This shows what a generous person you are, sharing your story. You have accomplished so much, and personally I feel we have been blessed with you living in our country, my province, and my favourite city!! Thank you for sharing, and I am looking for your cookbook now, it’s gonna be fun times!! All the best to you and yours.🙏🙏
You have wonderful parents opening new opportunities and charting a wonderful journey but you
know your passion and embark on it which resulted in the beautiful dishes you're sharing. Thanks 👍🙏
Your story is amazing. I grew up in NZ and I think you are such an inspiration. I would like to say because of you I finally perfected my Somtum dish. Thank you.
Amazing journey, beautiful spirit! I'm a long time fan Pai! Thank you for introducing the world to the inner workings of thai cuisine 🙏
Incredible story! Congratulations on your success, as it is well earned!
all that i see / can say is that you are undoubtedly the next Food Network US TV Food Star...you are the complete package all wrapped up in one. HANDS DOWN! You'd blast away the competition and light years ahead of any current stars.
Your vibrant personality and passion for cooking really shine through. U def should have ur own cooking show. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for your videos! I am Thai and I find that I learn so much more from you than my mom or aunt. They just throw stuff in and I can never tell the amount! I'm so excited that I can cook Thai food well now.
Love your shows and I wish you more and more success in your future undertakings. Thai food has a huge following in Malaysia and lately shops specializing in Thai street food have sprung up in Kuala Lumpur and are doing very well. To me there is no such thing as bad Thai food. Only great and mind blowing Thai food. Cheers and Sebaidee mai
Love this!! I'm currently studying in high school and Im graduating this year to a culinary school. It's my dream to travel and getting into the culinary world
Wow. Thank you for sharing your story. You’re so sincere in your videos and despite your success sooo humble. Such an amazing journey, truly inspiring. 💗
Pai, thanks for your introduction. What a great story!! You do a terrific job in your videos, there are easy to follow and the colorful presentation increases your appetite. Thanks to your videos I've been able to master five of your Thai dishes. Wishing you the best in next your project!
So inspiring!~ ❤️💙💛
I got interested in Thai food from watching the Thai dramas on Viki (ha ha). But on a serious note, I love the way you do your show and how you explain every ingredient etc etc. Congratulations on your Thai cook book and I do wish you the very very best for your future goals, though I must say I think you are a hit already. Thank you for your introduction and you have certainly had quite a time traveling, learning and studying, a lot of hard work involved. I am a very avid fan of yours. I have learnt so much from you and your culinary cooking. Thank you so much.
Thank you :)
@Pailin's Kitchen: Why does the mug in the background of this video say, "I wish I were dead"?
Thank you! I love your channel. It’s very entertaining and your smiley face makes it even heart warming!
I've watched your cooking shows in youtube many times and tried to find some good recipes for Thai Cuisines, that's so fantastic ! Glad that you didn't giveup your dream, but continuring your success ! I just love your Thai cooking, thanks so much.
WOW!! You've created your own career doing what you love. Congratulations!!
ติดตามมาเงียบๆปีกว่า ดูตามทุกวีดีโอและชอบมากๆเลยค่ะ วีดีโอคุณภาพดี อธิบายเข้าใจง่ายมากปกติไม่ค่อยทำกับข้าวเท่าไร อยู่กรุงเทพกินข้าวนอกบ้านตลอด ไม่เคยรู้ว่าอาหารนี้มีส่วนผสมอะไรบ้าง ดูวีดีโอคุณไพลินนอกจากจะหิวตามทุกครั้งแล้วยังเรียนรู้คำศัพท์อาหารวัตถุดิบใหม่ๆใช้ในงานพากย์ทัวร์มัคคุเทศก์ได้ดีมากเลยค่ะ ขอบคุณมากค่ะ
I love your story, Pai. I can relate to it in some ways. Thank you for making me love Thai cuisine a lot more. I'm a Filipino btw. More power to you! 💕
Thank you Pai, you've got a great positive energy! And your food looks yum!
I was curious about your accent. Now I understand. Your story can be quite inspiring to a lot of people. Thank you for sharing your story and answering your fans'
questions.
Cupcakelover
She has an accent but talks like a native speaker
Cupcakelover, personally I hear no accent, being that I’m from New England, USA. 😉
I was wondering too about the accent!
I'm Canadian and I always thought she has a flawless Canadian accent. I wouldn't have been able to tell she grew up in Thailand aside from her fluent Thai
Began eating frequently at a small Thai restaurant on Granville Street near my condo. It's starting to get expensive so I have decided to learn to make the food myself. Found an excellent Market on Hastings Street to get the ingredients and will check out your book at some of the bookstores near my home. Was watching and saving your videos. What a wonderful surprise to see you live in the neighborhood (Vancouver).
Loved this video. Was really great getting to know you and your story. Well done on your success and for following your dreams. Looking forward to seeing what the future brings for you. X
Saswadee Krup Khun Paili,Heading from Phuket to Trang Thursday for a coffee and barbecued pork breakfast,Im visiting a Thai friend there that worked in a Thai Restaurant in Oxford UK for 10 years.........its a very small World
You should do some vlog or something like this more.. You have an extraordinary smile!
Total Awesomeness. Thank You.
This was great, thanks for sharing. I've been a chef for 30 years but I learn a great deal from you regarding Thai food. Regards from Australia. ❤️
You've gone through your career path which you ever wanted and it's good to see that you're doing what you enjoys doing right now. All the very best!
Nice to meet you!😄 if you want to know why I watch your channel! It was your SMILE and your forgiving nature in the kitchen you make it okay if a mistake is made some chefs are so rigid the screen cracked just watching them! lol You've also have made me a star around my friends who have enjoy dinning at Thai restaurant they often say "Did you🍜 make🍤 that😁" Yesssssss! Thanks Pai! I'm going to try to make that🐟 fluffy fish next(Mark and you having dinner) Congrats on your new venture love you Channel!
As a Kiwi so cool to hear about New Zealand as part of your culinary history! You should do a Pav one day!

Love your shows Pai, I've been a fan for a few years now. I thought this was a fun little video to watch and thanks for making it. I've traveled to Thailand 4 times and find your country fascinating with the most friendly citizens. Our trip this year was postponed due to cover but I look forward going back to Thailand to visit our friends.
I'm so happy to hear your personal story. I would also like to say that you have a lot of humility in that you didn't start out talking about yourself. You got straight into the work, and people have responded well to you over time. Sometimes people see a new face in the media and assume that person is an "overnight success". Not so. It takes time to learn your craft, and the learning process never really ends. Congratulations on your success, and I'll be looking for your cookbook too!
love you, love that what you cooking ,love your smile
I saw you in the ad for "One World Kitchen" on Food Network Canada, congrats!!
I can't believe I only saw this now! I love your cooking videos so much and I am from just outside Wellington... to know you spent some formative years there just affirms how much I love what you've contributed to the online culinary world - you're an OG Pai!
Thanks Paid for giving this glimpse into your background. I recently got your cookbook and it is absolutely amazing how much work and effort you put into it. It's not just a cookbook, but also an educational reference for Thai customs and goes into so many intriguing details. Really a "must have".
I am sure you will do a lot more amazing things in the future.... 🙏🙏👏👏🤗🤗
dear Nong Pai. You are very Inspiring Character. Job Well Done. Love to see you rise. Malaysia welcomes you anytime. Salute.
Who got me into cooking? Nigella Lawson then....Pailin. Lived in Thailand but never learned how to cook Thai food. I only discovered Pai after moved in to US where ingredients are expensive. Pai, your are my top chef!
Thank you for sharing, Pai. You are very fun and I really enjoy your tutorials. I don't personally know you, but the world is a better place because you are here.
hey Pai, congrats, and we can see you have worked so hard to make it where you are. Your passion for cooking and a radiant smiling face always makes one feel fresh while watching your videos. Best part is the clarity in your presentation, and I believe that is a key takeaway. With love and best wishes from Bangalore aka Bengaluru.
Thanks for sharing about yourself Pai. Now I know a little bit about yourself.

Oh dear, how much do I know the struggle of not landing in the restaurant industry... I happend to end up as a fine dine waiter after highschool, which led to becoming a barkeeper and eventually to... a job in marketing. Although they don't have much in common, I wouldn't have gotten the job without the experiences of the culinary industry.
Even though I am out of this branche for over a year now, my heart still skips a beat when entering a marvellous bar and usually my first thought will always be "could they be hiring?" :)
Congratulations on what you've made of yourself and thank you very much for your charming introduction!
I love watching your videos. Makes me miss Thailand. I was born in Bangkok to an American mom and Malaysian Dad. I never really learned to cook thai food. These videos are great and easy and dooable for me! Keep up the great work.
Wow what a great story. I came across your youtube channel when I moved out from mom a couple years ago and was interested in learning how to cook pad thai for the very first time. Thank you for all the key ingredient and recipes. You explained it very clearly and I love how you give more knowledge what they are.
All the best for you in future
Pai. I love your every video. 😍😍😍
Just discovered your channel a week or two ago and have been very impressed with your videos (the dishes are always awesome, your presentations are great, your comments interesting, etc.). I found this video very interesting and appreciate your openness. I look forward to learning more about Thai cuisine, which is one of my favorite cuisines, watching your channel. Thanks so much!
Because of you, I can make one of my favorite dishes ever - green curry! Thanks for telling us about yourself and congrats on all of your successes.
ชื่นชมคุณไพลิน และติดตามมานานมากๆค่ะ นอกจากจะสอนการทำอาหารได้ถูกใจมากๆแล้ว ยังได้พัฒนาภาษาอังกฤษทุกๆครั้งที่เปิดเข้ามาค่ะ
// นอกเรื่องนิดนึงนะคะ คุณไพมีพี่น้องหรือเพื่อนเป็นอาจารย์ ชื่อ เอ หรือป่าว? ในภาพคู่ในวิดีโอคล้ายอาจารย์ที่หนูเรียนด้วยมากค่ะ
love you and best wishes
That was really interesting Pai, thank you so much and congratulations on a great site.
Hi Pai, Thank you for sharing your story! I have been a long time fan and I am looking forward to your next video!! You have such great energy and passion! It's always inspiring to watch your videos!! Best luck!! XOXO
