Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 03/02/2021
» One of the many things Thailand is famous for is food. Snacks alone come in a variety of forms and tastes. However, there are a handful of items so delightful that once you have a bite, it's almost impossible to stop eating them. Mi krop (crispy noodles) is one such snack. And the Mon community of Ban Saladaeng Nuea in Pathum Thani's Sam Khok district is home to some of the best mi krop in the province that is Bangkok's immediate neighbour to the north.

Quarantine 2.0
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 15/01/2021
» Let's be honest and admit that it was bound to happen. The second we got wind of a domestic case in Samut Sakhon, it was only a question of when things would be ordered to close. Granted, it may not be a hard lockdown like the first time around. However, as of the writing of this article, we're upwards of 10,000 cases now compared to the now-measly 1,000 or so we had the first time around so it's safe to say that things are a little worse than before. However, vaccines are set to arrive next month so there's a glimmer of hope. All we have to do is once again limit ourselves from going out in public unless absolutely necessary. I know the thought of having to once again lock ourselves at home is a drag, and that's why we've got this handy list for you. Here's how to thrive -- or at the very least, survive -- the second quarantine.

Here is a list of things that are in store for us, which hopefully -- fingers crossed -- may actually take place this year.
Amusing end to an unfunny year
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 01/01/2021
» The year has finally come to an end, and obviously, not many will find 2020 to be a memorable year. It would be absurd to rank which event was worse, however, sometimes when there are many bad or crazy things to recount, we should take them as something to laugh about. And that's exactly what Death To 2020, Netflix's new comedy special, is all about.
