» Coronavirus -- you've been hearing about it, reading about it, but knock on wood you haven't been infected by it. The world has been sent reeling these past few months because of the virus. Everyone is in a state of panic.

But let's all chill for a sec, which may be difficult to do given the circumstances, but we need to get our facts straight which, apparently, is hard for the Thai Ministry of Public Health to do.

» 1 For sweet lovers, enjoying a bunch of desserts can bring in that much-needed sugar rush. Recently, Escape Sansiri Hotel in collaboration with Dandelion Café launched a campaign Sweet Treat By Escape x Dandelion Café, finely creating three scrumptious sweet recipes with a unique design to match the rainy season. Our favourite is Snow White Apple Crumble, which offers a red apple from the oven with crumble and fresh butter. Served with vanilla ice cream, this dessert is one mild-blowing delicious dish. The two others include Crumble, Toasted Dark Raspberry S'more and Seashell Macaron with Sea Jelly. The campaign runs until Jan 13 at Escape hotels in Hua Hin and Khao Yai, with starting price at 195 baht.
