Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/02/2020
» What do you get when you cross UFO, Yanbian-style barbecue, no-flipping grills and a lot of wordplay? BADBQ in Siam Square Soi 9 is the answer! To the best of my knowledge, this casual joint is the first and only in Thailand to offer a Yanbian-style barbecue, Yanbian being the autonomous prefecture in China with a large number of ethnic Koreans. This has resulted in the cuisine being a fusion of Chinese and Korean.

Thailand's capital hosted 22 million overnight travellers. In the midst of the flattering and not-so-flattering world titles Thailand has received, you may not be aware of the times we receive recognition for rather peculiar feats. If your curiosity is piqued, allow me to present the strange/cool world records in the Land of Smiles.
