The Australian Alumni Association extends its heartfelt congratulations to the recipients of the 2024 Australian Alumni Awards.
We are proud to recognize Mr. Nattaphon Othanawathakij, Chef and Owner of HEH Phuket, with the Young Alumni Talent Award (Culinary Arts – South).
Mr. Nattaphon Othanawathakij has achieved remarkable success in the culinary arts, establishing HEH in Phuket, which earned recognition in the Michelin Guide after his nearly decade-long experience in Melbourne’s culinary scene.
His leadership and culinary expertise led his team to victory in Iron Chef Thailand 2021 and Top Chef Thailand 2023. Beyond his achievements in the kitchen, Mr. Othanawathakij also made history as Thailand’s first snowboarder to earn a world ranking spot in 2018, showcasing his diverse talents and dedication to excellence.
[He completed a Diploma in Commercial Cookery at William Angliss Institute in 2013, located in Melbourne, Australia.]
Once again, congratulations on this remarkable achievement. We look forward to celebrating your success and continued contributions to society.
