Eating Amid The Great Outdoors
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 17/12/2017
» I may not have to explain how much fun it is to picnic. When asking family members or your loved ones to go on a picnic, chances are everybody would say yes. Organising a picnic trip requires finding (sometimes booking) a scenic spot and preparing food and drinks for your outdoor dining. This might be a little extra work, but it's worth it.

Troubled waters
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 28/07/2019
» When it rains in Bangkok, it pours. And roads and sois quickly become flooded with foul-smelling, blackish water with oil shimmering on the surface. Many may wonder where such filthy water comes from.

Mining for memories
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 04/06/2017
» Famed for its traditional way of life and architectural uniqueness, Old Takua Pa is fast on track to becoming a top tourist destination. But as it opens up to more visitors, does the ancient community risk succumbing to the overexposure that's impacted other tranquil hidden cities in Thailand?

Flight from the city
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 12/02/2017
» There is constant traffic of people moving into and out of Bangkok. Some want to come to the city, while others want to get out. Those seeking to come usually want to study or work here, do business or perhaps just do some shopping. They may see the capital as a testing ground that offers challenges to their abilities. Once in the city, they look for suitable opportunities and hope that their luck comes through for them.

A taste of the past
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/01/2017
» When we take our first steps into a new year, starting on the path can be more reassuring if we look back on the year that just ended and put some of the things we experienced in it in one place. Over the past year, the Cornucopia column looked at many things -- among them, the old riverside neighbourhood along the Chanthaburi River, the Pathumwan area as it used to be; the informal markets known as talaad nat; traditional folk medicines; smoked fish; pesticides in vegetables; local dishes you can only enjoy by doing some travelling, and much more. Today I would like to review some of these subjects and gather them together into a kind of culinary and cultural tour.

A small place with big heart
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 30/11/2014
» Photharam in Ratchaburi province is a small district that might seem unremarkable at first. It has nothing to draw tourists, is not important economically, boasts nothing flashily contemporary, is innocent of hotels and, in short, has nothing to attract the eye or make you take a second look. But if you stay there for a while and look at things slowly and carefully you will be fascinated by Photharam. There are intriguing things to be found beneath its modest surface.

Destroying the past
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 13/07/2014
» The close link between Thais and water, or waterways, stretches far into the past. The cultural basis of this bond can be seen everywhere: the structure of traditional houses, Thai professions, religious and other beliefs, customs, arts and crafts, and cuisine. All are closely tied to water.

Oodles of noodles
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 19/01/2014
» It would be hard to find someone who would say no to a good bowl of bami, the wheat-flour noodles served in restaurants on almost every street and soi in Bangkok. The two kinds that people know best are packaged instant noodles, familiar under brand names such as Mama and Wai Wai, and the fresh bami sold in noodle restaurants.

Handling the floodwaters
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 27/10/2013
» Ayutthaya has been flooded again, but that is hardly news. The inundations have been taking place throughout recorded history. The thing that has made recent floods unusual has been their severity and violence, caused by environmental change and, in part, by the increased population. With more land being developed, the rivers and canals can no longer handle the amount of water flowing into them.

Thanks for the memories
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 11/08/2013
» When things that we like disappear it is normal to miss them for a while, but with time the feeling fades and eventually we may forget them. But when the thing that disappears has to do with food that we love, it can be hard to forget.
