About Us

Our Story

Kao Thai isn’t your average Thai food truck, it’s the real deal. We started back in 2023, a small family-run setup in Swords, cooking proper Thai food the way it’s meant to be. Weekends were spent serving hungry locals, and when the sun was out, you’d find us down at Bettystown Beach, wok blazing, turning out dishes packed with bold, authentic flavors. Word spread fast, next thing we knew, we were catering events for big names like Activision and Ryanair among others, as well as weddings and birthdays, bringing a true taste of Thailand wherever we went.

By 2024, we settled at Elmgrove Farm, our permanent home and the heart of Kao Thai. But make no mistake, the spirit of the street still runs through everything we do.

Leading the kitchen is Arisa Luseeda, our head chef and the beating heart of this business. Born and raised in northeast Thailand, Arisa knows what real Thai food should taste like: vibrant, fresh, and balanced, with every bite telling a story. No shortcuts, no knock-offs. We don’t water things down, we stay true to real Thai cooking. While a few fresh ingredients are carefully substituted when not available locally, every dish follows authentic Thai methods and flavours, cooked from scratch just like back home.

Kao Thai is about passion, precision, and proper Thai flavour. Every dish is cooked with care, fire, and heart because good food should speak for itself.
