Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Kim’s passion for cooking began in her hometown of Surat Thani, Thailand, learning alongside her grandmother and developing a deep appreciation for the flavours and traditions of home-cooked food. In 2006, she moved to the UK to study Economics and Hospitality, but her true calling soon drew her back to the kitchen.
In 2015, Kim joined the world-renowned Restaurant Gordon Ramsay as an apprentice.
