» Wondrous objects, precious relics from the past, can sometimes lie unnoticed or unappreciated right under our very noses. People often travel far and wide to visit sites of cultural interest while overlooking treasures located in their own backyards.

Life, Pichaya Svasti, Published on 25/07/2013
» It was a fine, sunny day and our small party boarded the long-tail boat waiting for us on Khlong Maha Sawat for a leisurely trip along this 153-year-old canal through Nakhon Chaisi district in Nakhon Pathom. It turned out to be a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, a great method of unwinding and experiencing the simple pleasures of life in these parts. We passed picturesque orchid and lotus farms, verdant orchards and field after field of ripening golden rice. Along the way we spotted a few men fishing desultorily, small children frolicking in the pellucid water and a woman absorbed in washing clothes.
