Private chef jobs in Bangkok: cooking in clients' homes
Private chef jobs in Bangkok suit cooks who enjoy working one-to-one in a client's own kitchen. On Veyya, a freelance chef can be booked to prepare a meal at home, from a relaxed family dinner to a small gathering in a condo in Sukhumvit or Sathorn / Silom. Veyya is a Bangkok marketplace for at-home services, and Personal Chef is one of the categories planned under Lifestyle.
Personal Chef is currently labelled Coming soon on the Veyya site, so chef bookings are not open yet. Applying now means the team knows you before the category opens. This information is correct as of 6 October 2026 and is subject to change.
What private chef work looks like day to day
A booking starts with the details the client provides: the address, the date and time, and the meal they would like. Check them before you accept so you can plan properly.
On the day, you arrive, set up in the client's kitchen, cook, plate the meal and leave the space tidy. Menus and dietary needs differ from client to client, so a good chef asks about allergies and preferences before the visit.
Who buys the ingredients and who brings equipment can vary by booking, so read the booking details first. Condo kitchens are often compact, and many chefs favour menus that are easy to prepare in a small space.
How Veyya works with chefs
Veyya finds the clients, manages the booking and takes payment through the platform, so you can focus on cooking. Providers are hand-selected, identity-verified through Appman Case Keeper and background-checked. Every provider also completes a safety and service-standards orientation before the first booking, and Veyya re-verifies providers every year.
Veyya is commission-based, so there is no upfront listing fee. Qualification requirements vary by discipline, and Veyya's application and verification process confirms what to provide for chef work.
How you are paid
As of 6 October 2026, providers keep 70% of every booking before tax. Veyya does not take tips through the platform and does not collect tips for providers. Anything a client chooses to give you in person is between you and them. Earnings are paid weekly to PromptPay or your bank account. These terms are subject to change, and the Veyya team can confirm the current terms when you apply.
Building repeat clients
Private cooking is often repeat work. A client who enjoys a meal may book again for the next occasion, and Veyya is designed so clients can book a provider they liked again. Some habits help: arrive on time, confirm dietary needs in advance, keep the kitchen clean and share a short note on what you cooked. Clear communication builds the reputation that fills a calendar.
How to apply to join Veyya
To get started, apply to join Veyya as a provider and share your details. Tell the team about your experience, the cuisines you cook best and the areas you can travel to. The team then takes you through the verification steps.
