Travelling Thaiger

» We first interviewed Thai-German Michael Biedassek for his role as the co-founder of bangkokvanguards, a unique travel agent which explores undiscovered paths in Bangkok. Michael is also involved in raising awareness on preserving local communities and organising the "Santa Cause" (http://fb.com/SantaCauseBangkok) event every year to provide gifts and necessities for less privileged children and their families. We wondered what he had been up to lately and what the upcoming Santa Cause would entail.
The food rescuer

» Tanaporn "Faii" Oi-isaranukul (second from left) is a donor relations coordinator and food hygienist at ThaiHarvest-SOS (fb.com/thaiharvestsos, thaiharvestsos.org), a local food rescue foundation which raises awareness around food waste and combats it. So far, it has rescued 65 tonnes of edible excess food and collected around 120 tonnes in scraps of food to make compost. One kilo of food provides up to three meals. Do the maths. They have provided 195,000 meals for those in need such as refugees and orphans. And, for every B1,000 spent, they serve 50 meals. Faii, a food science graduate from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, tells us about the budding organisation and how you can help out.

Sweet (& savoury) 16
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/03/2016
» The ongoing trend of attending night or hip markets in Bangkok brings along with it hundreds of food vendors that we can all salivate over. Not only do they cater to the insatiable appetites that Bangkokians have for shopping, but they also provide opportunities for small vendors to try out their new food ideas on the public (who seem to lap them right up).
Weighing in
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 03/01/2014
» During Xmas and New Year, chances are you indulged in some binging and are now thinking about wearing a turtleneck so no one notices your second chin. Since no human being could (or should) wear a turtleneck for the rest of 2014, we suggest you get serious about getting into shape and a healthy state of mind through various types of exercise available in this city. We hope our selections help you shed some of the kilos you’ve accumulated.
Get active

» Ademonstration against a controversial dam project in Mae Wong National Park will start at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre tomorrow. The dam plan has been criticised for its lack of transparency, questionable effi ciency in preventing future fl ooding and its threat to irreplaceable trees and wildlife. To deputy PM Plodprasob Suraswadi, forests can be regrown and wildlife bred, but an online petition against the project on Change.org has garnered over 113,401 signatures, becoming the biggest campaign of its kind in Asia (who knew that Thais are such environmentalists?!).
