» Phanuphon "Black" Bulsuwan, 35, is the chef and owner of Blackitch Artisan Kitchen in Chiang Mai. A self-taught cook, chef Black creates his daily menu based on season and culture, meaning that there is no specific cuisine to describe the dishes he makes. His restaurant's unique dining experience caters to only 16 guests per seating, served across two tables. He is also known as the local master of fermentation techniques, knowing about its misconceptions and the benefits it brings to the food ingredients. He has also partaken in many food events, the latest being Mad Face Food Week, which takes place until Sunday, at the Pepsi Pier on Charoen Nakhon Road.
A day in Soi Nana
Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 02/03/2018
» Located in a small road off Rama IV in Yaowarat, and not to be confused with the more well-known red-light district in Sukhumvit 4, Soi Nana has risen to become one of Thailand's tourist hot spots. Many of Chinatown's old buildings have been renovated into art spaces, cool bars, cute cafes, and quaint shophouses, turning the once sleepy area into a vibrant, go-to nightlife zone. A five-minute walk from MRT Hua Lamphong is all it takes. If you haven't the time to check out the area, we've done it for you. We've gone as far as visiting a handful of places to get you started. And remember, the street is a neighbourhood with people who live and work there, so be sure to have fun but also respect the locals.
