SAVING OUR THAI RESTAURANT: 2 Years Later
At 24, our family restaurant had around 3 months before we’d have to shut. My mum had kept us open for 23 years and I couldn’t let her legacy shut. Here’s how hard we’ve worked to turn us around and lessons I’ve learned along the way.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ❤️ Mum is incredibly happy and it means the world. Lots of Love, Alex

THANK YOU MUM 🫶🏼
Mum put on a proper feast to welcome @gulapish back after 9 years away — she used to work with us when I was little, and they’ve stayed close ever since 💛
So special seeing the Thai Orchid team come together to celebrate 🥳
Mum was glowing all night — and said, “I slept very well” (that’s how we know she was truly happy 🥹)
WHAT CHILLI TO USE IN PAD KRAPOW? 🌶️
Auntie Tik and I show you which chilli 🌶️ you should use in Pad Krapow and how many to use per portion! (You can also use Birds Eye Chillies)

Our Story
Hi everyone, Alex here!
My Thai Head-Chef mum, Auntie Tik, opened our doors in 2000 and has dedicated herself to making the most authentic Thai food possible.
25 years later, we now run our restaurant as mum & son.
When you step into our restaurant, you become part of the family.
