==Biography==

She grew up in [Pai, Thailand](/source/Pai%2C_Thailand). Regular did not like cooking when she was young, but was expected to help out in the kitchen. She met her husband, Jeff Regular, when he was traveling in Thailand. At the time, she was a nurse. Together she and Regular opened a restaurant called the Curry Shack where she would cook at night after her nursing job. Eventually she enjoyed cooking more than nursing.<ref name="Donna">{{cite news |last1=Paris |first1=Donna |title=Nuit Regular, one of Toronto's most widely recognized chefs, has changed the way people think about Thai food |url=https://www.thestar.com/life/together/people/2021/10/17/nuit-regular-one-of-torontos-most-widely-recognized-chefs-has-changed-the-way-people-think-about-thai-food.html |access-date=4 November 2022 |work=The Star |date=October 17, 2021}}</ref>

In 2006, the couple moved to Toronto where she studied English and for nursing license.  Jeff's father approached her about opening a restaurant in a building he owned. That resulted in the restaurant SukhoThai.<ref name="Donna" />
