» Three-wheeled vehicles, or tuk-tuks as they are known, are popular among tourists in Thailand due to their distinctive appearance and ability to provide a unique local experience. However, when start-up company Urban Mobility Tech (UMT) surveyed the pain points of passengers in Bangkok using public transportation, they responded that tuk-tuks did not have a standard price and the vehicles created noise and air pollution. In 2017, UMT decided to launch Muvmi, an electric tuk-tuk company, to provide an environmentally friendly and safe public transportation option to Bangkokians.

» Rattanapong "Taiki" Tsubota made waves two years ago when he started Homeburg. If it isn't obvious already, the name is a mix of "home" and "burger", which encapsulates the burgers he made back then. But that isn't the reason why his burgers went viral. Aside from being meticulously and precisely crafted, he was serving four to eight burgers a day, eventually racking up a long wait list. Now, he's set up shop for the next six months at 72 Courtyard with Bun Meat & Cheese by Homeburg, where he's serving his famed burgers with a slightly higher availability at 100 burgers a day. We sat down with the burgerman to talk about his method and process, and why he wants to keep a limit on the burgers.
