» Bangkok has seen many alternative diets. You can go vegetarian, vegan, paleo, gluten-free and now you can add ketogenic diet to the healthy/picky bunch. Ketogenic or keto for short, is high in fat, adequate in protein and low in carbohydrates.

Perhaps, it's best to judge our candidates based on their parties' policies and proposals, and Bangkok Poll on Sunday revealed that 97% of respondents in their latest survey will vote on Mar 24 and more than half said party policies will be the first factor when deciding which candidates to vote for.

True costs only Bangkokians know
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/09/2018
» Have you noticed that somethings in life come with hidden costs -- monetary or otherwise -- that we may not be aware of until we experience it?
