Aww-dorable Cafes
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 01/08/2014
» Thais are crazy for cute stuff. It is a fact. Remember how fast LINE and Rilakkuma tumblers from 7-Eleven sold out? How many times have you chatted with friends through stickers and emoji instead of actual letters? Do you know how many celeb dogs and cats there are in the Thai Facebook sphere nowadays? (They could fill a paperback book). What we’re trying to say is that cuteness is a real commodity here and some cafes in Bangkok are combining adorable edibles with cute characters to create their own atmosphere. Check out these mung ming frung fring (it’s how Thai kids are saying “cute” these days) venues to get your cute and cake fixes. Disclaimer: cuteness overload ahead.

Lazy Mekong Days in Kompong Cham & Kratie
Life, Mick Shippen, Published on 30/12/2013
» At first glance, Kompong Cham appears to be in a comfortable slumber on the banks of Mekong River. But step back from the backpacker guesthouses and restaurants that line the riverfront and there are bustling markets to explore and architectural gems to admire. The town takes its name from Cham Muslims who have a sizeable population in the area and there are Cham fishing villages to discover on both sides of the river. The town is the perfect destination for a few lazy Mekong days.
