OUR CHEF

Introducing the culinary master of Soi Gaeng, Chef Ley!
Driven by an endless passion and curiosity for Thai cuisine, Chef Ley travels across Japan, drawing inspiration from the local ingredients and cultures he encounters — influences that come to life in every dish he creates.

Rooted in the vibrant flavours of Bangkok’s street food, Chef Ley infuses his own creativity and flair into every element, from the aroma and spices to the presentation. Each dish bursts with colour and character, offering a truly exceptional taste experience. At Soi Gaeng, discover the excitement of Thai food culture — all while staying in the heart of Kyoto.
