Comments

 
AS the Pastry Chef of JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok, Chef Chotiphat (Gee) Laisuwan brings with him almost a decade of experience in the pastry industry.
Gee first received a degree in Economics, but his passion for the art of pastry steered him into another path. He followed his dream and pursued formal culinary training at The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College - Philadelphia, USA. His professional culinary career followed soon after at Azie n Main in Philadelphia, where he was pastry chef.
Since 2015, Chef Gee has been an important part of JW Marriott Bangkok’s culinary team.
