» Nepal may not be a go-to choice when Thais think about travel destinations like they do Japan, Hong Kong or South Korea. We'll go as far as saying that the landlocked country is a bit of mystery. But if you're up for diverse cultures, natural beauties and a little adventure, Nepal is it!

Not by the book

» The setting: The old road of Charoen Krung has been gaining cool cred for some time, thanks to many art spaces as well as new eateries on top of old names along Thailand's first-ever modern road. Thailand Creative & Design Center is moving to the Grand Postal Building and opposite it is Charoen Krung Soi 45, where I accidentally came across Outlaw Creative Cuisine.

Puzzling Pricings
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 15/06/2012
» I was on Silom Road recently when I came upon a farang man, probably in his 20s. He asked a motorcycle taxi driver how much he would charge for a lift to a nearby hotel. The driver mimed out a price of B30 with his hands. The guy mistook the gesture for B300 and became upset. The driver was offended too that the farang thought he tried to rip him off. Only after another driver explained that there was no extra zero, he gestured a wai to the driver to apologise. Both men swallowed their bruised pride before they agreed to complete the B30 transaction.
