Air's Thai Culinary Kitchen was established in 2004 by 'Air' -- Mr. Chanrat Karatna. 'Air' was formerly a tour guide for a leading inbound travel company from 1982 to 1992, not by choice but chance while I was attending university. Upon graduation he took on a number of occupations on a part-time basis and ran Air's Bistro (1997-2004). And in 1999 decided to attend the graduate program at Chiang Mai University in a Tourism Industry Management which required me to take up work in the field of tourism again. My former experience in tourism inspired me to help visitors learn Thai cooking as an alternative touring experience. Tourists could learn how to cook their favorite delicious Thai foods when they returned to their own countries. 1985 : Bachelor's degree: English major B.Ed (English), Chiang Mai Teachers College Chiang Mai, Thailand. 1997 : Post Graduate: Tourism, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand. 2002 : Master of Art:Tourism Industry Management, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand 1982-2004 : Tour guide, site inspection tour guide. 1997-2004 : Found Air's Bistro 2004-present : Found Air's Thai Culinary Kitchen : Thai cooking class 2010-present : Found Nongprateep Villaggio : B&B
