Revelations in Convent
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 19/01/2018
» Soi Convent has a strange pull. Crawling with office workers by day, it welcomes drinkers and diners by night. At one end is a cloistered convent protected by high walls, at the other a hospital and a church, and in between a motley selection of an Irish pub, street stalls, cafés, bars, dessert shops, dining venues, a som tam joint and an all-girls school. Flanked by the gaudy lights of Patpong and the business-minded Sathorn, the 800m soi in the busy financial district has a discreet but unfailing, perennial charm.

Isan's slice of Italy
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 12/10/2012
» Some 400km away from Bangkok in Nakhon Ratchasima province lies a rustic village of about 1,000 people called Non Udom. Unlike the nearby tourist destination of Khao Yai, which is likened to a Siamese Italy thanks to a boom in Italian-style properties, Non Udom has retained its customs, culture and environment as a profound Buddhist-driven, rice-farming community. Yet this rural area may be the most amazing link between Thailand and Italy one can discover.
