» This pandemic has revealed a lot of things. For starters, booze is apparently a necessity and we were this close to rioting on the streets when it seemed like the ban wasn't about to be lifted. People who didn't give a crap about others were exposed but thankfully that was overshadowed by news of people helping out and being kind, decent human beings. We've realised just how much we rely on those who deliver our food, how much we miss travelling and whether we like to admit it or not, we actually miss going to work. To top this, the ingenuity of people has also been revealed and a bunch of new innovations have been created to help out as we try and recover from this life-altering state. This week, we've got innovations from Thailand that have sprung up in response to Corona time.

Taste in transit

» Even when Covid-19 leaves us stranded within our own home, one thing we still don't have to worry about much is food shortage. An abundance of food is still being offered by many restaurants, eateries and hotels as they have progressed online and into the delivery scene to make sure we have something scrumptious to dine on during our isolation. From street food to Michelin's award-winning restaurants, the choices seem limitless. At least, that mostly applies if you live right inside Bangkok.
