A South African by birth, Chef Flaxman has rich experience in the culinary world and was once private chef for celebrities, Heads of State, politicians and numerous well-known musicians.

Growing up within a family in the restaurant business, Flaxman was exposed to the art of cooking at just five years of age, developing an early passion and talent for the culinary arts. After graduating with a degree in hotel management and catering from Hotel Career Center in Bournemouth, England, Flaxman quickly launched into his reputable chef career in Europe, first launching his own catering company, then expanding into notable restaurants and hotels around the world.

In 2004, Flaxman landed in Thailand, a land he now calls home. After serving as executive chef of Watermark Restaurant in Phuket for four years, he moved to Singapore where he served as an instructor for Sodexo, teaching young chefs health and safety tips in the kitchen, as well as how western techniques can be applied to Asian cuisine. Flaxman next took his career to the Maldives serving as a private chef before returning to Thailand in 2012.
