With my experience working with five-star hotels such as Sukhothai Bangkok and The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok; with publishing houses such as Australian Consolidated Press, Hachette Filipacchi Media-China, and Post Intermedia; she was a partner in restaurants in China, and worked in catering services for Sodexo in Finland and Norway.

I have also been a regular contributor to Thai culinary websites: Best food in China, That’s Shanghai, City Weekend, Byen.com, Velkommen.com, and Alyssahan.com. After working and training in Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Finland, and Norway, I am fluent in English, Thai, and Mandarin Chinese (plus a little bit of several Scandinavian languages).
Become a food blogger and a cooking instructor
In 2015, I first decided to launch my own food blog, www.alyssakk.com after taking a position in the business development of BrandNow.Asia for a year contract in 2014 which gave me more chances to understand F&B and hospitality in Thailand after living overseas for 15 years.
However, soon I stumbled across the opportunity to get involved in an actual cooking school at one of the most touristic areas in Bangkok, at Pak Klong Talad Flower Market. And cooking classes at The Market Experience were launched! I have been a Chief Instructor at The Market Experience since 2017 till the covid ends the business in 2021
