Dealing With A Covid-19 Side Effect
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 22/01/2021
» One side effect of the Covid-19 pandemic that you may have overlooked (besides amassing a vast collection of hand sanitisers and exposing govt inefficiency -- kapow!) is more waste, especially plastic. Inevitably, it is exacerbated by our appetite for food delivery while we're WFH during this quasi-lockdown. The first wave saw an increase of plastic waste by 60% in Bangkok due to the higher demand for food delivery as estimated by Thailand Environment Institute in May last year. Thailand Research Development Insitute also claimed that one such order can contain up to seven pieces of plastic waste (so opt-out of utensils when you order please).

» Sustainability isn't a gimmick at Haoma restaurant (fb.com/HaomaBKK) on Sukhumvit 31. The new restaurant by Deepanker "chef DK" Khosla is tucked deep in the soi, but it's worth the effort to get there if you want to try fresh flavours that are picked out of its mini farm. Although we didn't get to do a proper review, judging from a couple of dishes we had, we wouldn't be surprised if Haoma would be in the next edition of The Michelin Guide Bangkok. We spoke to the 28-year-old chef-proprietor about his culinary journey and his green ambition.

» When you inevitably get fed up with working for "the man", the idea of being your own boss sounds appealing. But just like every young person dreams of owning their own bar, only to realise their friends will drink away their profits, does the reality of starting your own business match the dream? We've found four people who decided to pursue their passions and are currently at different stages of their entrepreneurship. Their stories may give you some ideas on how to take the plunge and run your own business (as you possibly achieve financial freedom).
