» Nam pak sathon is a condiment from the Dan Sai district of Loei province. With a salty flavour, people in Loei replace fish sauce and nam pla ra (fermented fish sauce) with nam pak sathon when making som tam (spicy papaya salad), jaew dam (Isan style sauce) and other Isan dishes. Thus, when TCDC Commons at Seacon Square Srinagarindra held the workshop "Nam Pak Sathon", 15 participants learned about the condiment and how to use it in dishes.

» Thailand is a country with cultural diversity. The "Red Area And Black Spirit" art exhibition presents two cultures that reflect the differences between two woodcut artists -- Chayasit Orisoon and Warisara Apisampinwong. While Chayasit showcases Song or Tai Dam culture in his "Black Spirit" room, Warisara exhibits Chinese-Thai culture in her "Red Area". Both Chayasit and Warisara are colleagues who earned a master's in visual arts from Silpakorn University. Since their woodcut pieces involve culture, they decided to hold the exhibition together at the People's Gallery, Bangkok Art & Culture Centre.
