i. Biography
Jirapat Praphotjanaporn is the Executive Chef of Aunglo by Yangrak in Bangkok, where Thai contemporary cooking is shaped by fire and defined by restraint, heat, and precision. In the restaurant’s kitchen, charcoal cooking is not simply a technique but the pulse of the room: an open grill station, fresh-to-order skewers, and grilled rice bowls come together in a style that feels immediate, elemental, and finely tuned.
The Climb
Those early roles marked a steady rise through Bangkok’s dining scene, building a career that moved with confidence from one kitchen to the next. Each post added to the foundation of his approach, honing the discipline and rhythm required to work at the level where fire, timing, and consistency must all align. Today, Jirapat is Executive Chef of Aunglo by Yangrak, where his work now centers on leading the kitchen with the same precision that defined his earlier posts. At Aunglo by Yangrak, that leadership is expressed not in flourish but in control: the kind that keeps a live-fire kitchen moving with purpose, and keeps the menu anchored in the clarity of its grilling-led identity.
Today
At the restaurant, the work is grill-forward and direct. Thai contemporary cooking is handled over live fire, with the grill acting as both method and organizing point for the menu. The open heat gives the kitchen its shape, while the charcoal lends a smoky edge that frames the food without overwhelming it. Fresh-to-order skewers arrive with the immediacy of something made to order and served at its most vivid moment, while grilled rice bowls carry that same sense of focus and warmth. In this environment, the kitchen’s energy is taut and purposeful, with each element guided by flame.
