Will we learn from the pandemic?

» I don't think any of us could have anticipated that we would be where we are now. A year ago, or even months ago, nobody would have thought it possible for a modern society like ours to be hit by a pandemic on a level that seemed to exist only in the long-gone past and in movies. Panic buying. Toilet paper hoarding. Convenience stores no longer open 24/7. People ordering hair clippers online to cut their own hair. Face masks becoming a necessary entry pass for most public venues. They're now normal. A new normal, so to speak. Life has surely changed a lot.

» 'Let's go to Khao Yai," a friend recently suggested via text. Along with her invitation, she attached a picture of a woman sitting amid beautiful flowers, clouded with faded hipster filter. It was an online review saying a blossoming garden in a Khao Yai resort was now open to all visitors for free. The sight of the gorgeous winter flowers drew me in. I said yes.

» The ability to work remotely has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more professionals are moving away from the traditional office environment. Many now opt to take their work on the go, choosing their own preferred space to work in, which could be their home, co-working space, coffee shop, beach, mountain, abroad -- essentially anywhere. The idea is that they're no longer confined to a single location, like their main office. No more 9-to-5 working routine at an office cubicle.

» It's time for that essential caffeine hit you need. Drop by Starbucks stores nationwide to try out new coffee beverages introduced this autumn with the bold espresso and silky milk foam in Flat White, or try cold brew coffee with milk foam and Cascara syrup in Cascara Cold Foam Cold Brew. If you're a fan of both chocolate and coffee, the Duo Cocoa Mocha, which blends dark and white chocolate with a smooth espresso shot, just can't be missed. Try pairing the drinks with the new line of healthy, sweet and savoury dishes, such as Nicoise salad, pumpkin muffin and more, for a hearty meal.
A zeal for New Zealand

» The sky was gorgeous. That was the first thing I noticed about New Zealand after we left Auckland airport. Just the right shade of blue. The right amount of sunlight and cloud. Underneath the vast blue expanse, rolling green hills stretched as far as the eye could see. We were on our way to Rotorua, a city 230km southeast of Auckland, and luckily we were able to appreciate all the surrounding nature that led us to it. Plenty of sleep onboard Thai Airways' Royal Silk Class meant we landed feeling refreshed, ready to explore all the sights and adventures Rotorua has to offer.
