    Head south for retirement bliss

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 30/04/2017

    » Thailand is becoming an ageing society and some of us need to be well prepared. How will your life be after retirement? It's wise to plan how to get by in those possibly empty-handed years. Better than a plan is to save up now and purchase health insurance or, if life savings permit, invest properly. Make sure you get access to the financial aid and welfare from the government.

    A tale of two markets

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 10/08/2014

    Fruits to sway a sweet tooth

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 21/07/2013

    » People tend to think that new things are better than old ones, and in the case of mobile phones, computers, cars, shoes and the like, they are probably right. But it's a different story with recipes. We can be sure that dishes that have been popular for generations and that leave nothing to be desired will be with us as long as Thai food is prepared. Old-fashioned dishes are like a river that flows slowly and quietly, not turbulently and noisily as a newly-formed wave. People who appreciate them are mostly from older generations.
