Natthaphorn ( Ploy) Duangkaew Lorenz was born in Bangkok, the home of her father's family. She is an excellent chef, learning from her own father, who has taught Natthaphorn how to make Central Thai meals as a child. At twelve years old, her family moved to Lampoon, a historic capital of Northern Thailand, outside of Chiang Mai. Upon arriving, Natthaphorn was taught how to cook Northern Thai food by her grandmother in their new home, and she is the co-author of four traditional Thai cook Books. A variety of high quality home cooked Thai food is something she has enjoyed her entire life, and is willing to share. Natthaphorn graduated from The Chiang Mai Lanna Polytechnic Institute of Technology.
