Where's the beef ? not with the noodles these days
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 03/06/2012
» No one would deny kui tio nua, or beef noodles, a prime place as a favourite on the Thai table. This is true even though these days more and more people are avoiding beef. Recognising this trend, restaurants that specialise in the dish have been making some adaptations.

Piecing it together
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 18/05/2012
» If we were to see the world like a child, we would realise there are so many unanswered questions staring us right in the face; at restaurants, on the street, pretty much everywhere we look. But don't fret, as we've done some digging and tackled questions you have never even thought to ask. Here are the little-known origins of eight things to bore your date or people at a party with. Don't say we never teach you anything.
Regarding Chitti
Life, Brian Curtin, Published on 02/05/2012
» A history of the experimental art scenes in Bangkok has yet to be written. If it's a book, the work of Chitti Kasemkitvatana deserves a chapter. Active as a curator, artist and lecturer in the '90s, Chitti set precedents that survived his eight year hiatus as a monk in the forest monasteries of Chiang Mai. Since 2010 he has held regular exhibitions of beautifully arranged objects that blur distinctions between art and practical function, organised public lecture programmes and become involved in publishing.
Shine a light
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 11/04/2012
» The Apex lady, Nanta Tansacha, found herself in an uneasy spotlight two years ago when Siam Theatre was burned down, gutted by the May-hem flames to ashes and rubbish. "When I watched it burn, on TV, it was like I was watching a film," she told the Bangkok Post in June 2010. Now, Nanta has found herself in another nervous limelight _ another dramatic movie if you'd permit the analogy _ when news broke last month that Lido Theatre, and probably the stately Scala, too, might soon be razed to make way for new malls.
Stark contrast
Life, Athit Perawongmetha, Published on 21/02/2012
» Victory Monument is one of the most bustling places in the city. As a major transport junction, it draws heavy crowds during rush hours each day. I am among those people, travelling to the area to make a bus change since my school days until now. But today is different. Instead of changing from one bus to another, people are now getting off from a bus or van to the more convenient BTS to get into the inner city.
