At P’Nut Asian Kitchen, formerly known as P’Nut Street Noodles, Thailand has always been at the heart of our story.
From a Bangkok hawker stall to restaurants across NSW and QLD, P’Nut was built on Chef Nut’s family recipes, made-from-scratch sauces and bold Thai street-food flavours.
So when Songkran, Thailand’s traditional New Year, came around, we wanted to celebrate in a way that gave something back.
Making Songkran Mean a Little More
Songkran is a time for family, gratitude and new beginnings. This year, we partnered with Hands Across the Water, an Australian charity supporting children and young people in Thailand.
As part of our Songkran promotion, proceeds were donated to help children in Thailand. It was a simple way to turn a celebration we love into something that could support others.
We’re grateful to everyone who took part and helped make it possible.
Supporting Four Children
Our connection with Hands Across the Water goes beyond the campaign.
P’Nut is proud to sponsor four children through the organisation, helping provide:
- Safe housing
- Nutritious food
- Education and school support
- Healthcare and care
- A more secure future
For us, it’s about doing something practical and meaningful where we can.
Why Thailand Matters to P’Nut
Thailand is not just where our food inspiration comes from. It is part of the P’Nut story.
P’Nut Asian Kitchen was co-founded by Chef Nut, whose love of Thai cooking began at his grandmother’s street-food stall in Bangkok. That is where he first learned the foundations of real Thai cooking — balancing flavour, grinding chilli paste and making sauces slowly, properly and from scratch.
Those same values still sit at the heart of P’Nut today: real Thai street-food flavour, fresh wok cooking, made-from-scratch sauces, family, community and connection.
That is why supporting children in Thailand through Hands Across the Water feels like a natural part of our journey.
A Message from Ankur Sehgal
As P’Nut CEO Ankur Sehgal says:
“Thai food has always been about more than just a meal. It is about family, community and connection.”
