» Thanom's ancestors lived in what was Siamese territory, near Bang Saphan district in Prachuap Khiri Khan, over a century ago. Back then Burma, to the west, was a British colony and people who lived along the border crossed back and forth without much difficulty. When state boundaries were redrawn during the reign of King Rama V, his family was stuck on the other side. As a young man Thanom was a cattle herder, and he travelled around Karen villages to buy cattle and buffaloes and crossed over to sell them on the Thai side. When he started this job, a cow was just 20 baht and a buffalo was 50 baht.

» The beauty and convenience of a thoroughly modern kitchen is often a strong selling point when marketing new homes and condominiums. These kitchens should be designed to emphasise beauty and ease of use, while incorporating attractive modern materials. Homeowners want them to be laid out in a way conducive to neatness and order with shelves and cabinets for storing appliances and utensils. Appealing colours and plenty of light are also important for creating a space that is pleasant to work or socialise in, because guests will most likely be invited to sit in the kitchen to eat and chat.
