Our Story

Homies began with a simple passion: sharing Thai food and culture with people from around the world. What started as cooking with friends in a cozy Bangkok home has grown into a warm, welcoming space where travelers, families, and food lovers come together.

Message from the Founder

Hello, I'm Koch. I was born in Chiang Mai and moved to Bangkok for university—where I fell in love with this vibrant city and planted the seeds for Homies. What began as a hands-on Airbnb, where I personally tended to every detail from room setup to gardening, has grown into something deeper: a space built on warmth, care, and connection.

My goal has always been simple—more than just accommodation, Homies is a small, welcoming community. Our living room isn't just a place to stay; it's a place to meet, talk, and share stories. When time allows, I cook for guests, host casual dinners, or play music into the night. Many guests return like old friends, and that's the heart of what we do.

Koch - Founder of Homies

Over the past two years, I've refined Homies day by day, and now I've taken it further with Homies Thai Cooking School—intimate, hands-on classes that feel like cooking with family. Here, we don't just teach recipes; we share culture, laughter, and the joy of Thai hospitality.

"Passion is more than taste. Every dish should carry kindness, invite conversation, and create connection."

Each class is a chance to share a piece of our culture—one meal, one story, and one smile at a time.

Meet Our Team

At Homies, hospitality isn't a service—it's a shared spirit. Our team brings warmth, skill, and genuine care to every class, every conversation, and every meal. We're not just instructors; we're storytellers, culture-sharers, and friends who believe that the best recipes are passed down with laughter and love.

Homies Team

Koch

Founder, Host & Traditional Thai Cook

Koch is the heart and soul of Homies. Born in Chiang Mai and now rooted in Bangkok, she built Homies from the ground up—first as a hands-on Airbnb where she personally tended to every detail, and now as a warm, welcoming cooking school. Her grandmother's recipes and her own love for Thai hospitality inspire every class. Koch doesn't just teach cooking; she shares stories, laughter, and the joy of bringing people together over food. For her, every dish is an invitation to connect.

Nut's culinary journey began at 13, helping his family in their restaurant kitchen in southern Thailand. By 16, he was already working in professional kitchens, and by 18, he had moved to Bangkok to refine his craft. With years of experience in Thai cuisine and a natural talent for teaching, Nut brings both skill and warmth to every class. He loves sharing the techniques and flavors of his southern Thai roots while making every student feel at ease. For Nut, cooking is about connection, tradition, and the joy of seeing others discover the magic of Thai food.

Maygus ensures that from the moment you book to the moment you leave, you feel welcomed, supported, and excited to cook.
