RIS Class of ’96 alumna May Pataravarin Timkul is most widely recognized as a Thai model and award-winning actress who has enjoyed a lengthy career in the entertainment industry since the late nineties. However, these days, you’re more likely to find her commanding a state-of-the-art kitchen with apron and chef hat in tow than on a movie set or strutting down the catwalk.
May is revitalized as Chef May, fully pursuing her long-time passion for cooking and putting her skills as a meat specialist of 18 years to good use to the delight of local foodies everywhere. Over the holiday season, Chef May hosted an exclusive ‘Meat Lover’ Chef Table series which even featured an RIS-alumni-only edition. RIS ‘Meat Lover’ guests included alumni from the Class of 1994 and the Class of 1996.
