The breakfast club
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 07/06/2019
» You've heard it countless times: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But most of us are content with having Mama noodles or a simple congee to start the day. Hey, I don't blame you. Some of us don't have the time or if you're like me, we just love our bed too much to wake up early. But here's a question: who said breakfast had to be limited to mornings? It's a bit confusing to think about it because if you have breakfast during lunch or dinner, doesn't that just make it lunch or dinner? Don't overthink it, you get what I mean. Eggs, pancakes, coffee and other breakfast dishes are great anytime of the day. Fortunately for us Bangkokians, there's a number of places all around the city serving up great brekkies. Slather on that maple syrup, dig into those waffles and chug down that coffee. It's breakfast time, people.

» Busy Victory Monument, with its buses, taxis and motorcycles, is one of Bangkok's few traffic circles (or roundabouts, as we call them where I come from). It's a busy intersection of roads that lead to all points on the compass.

A note on Thailand Biennale

» One recent morning at Nopphrat Thara beach, the high tide flooded the lower part of a strange, interwoven structure. Rising from the blue water of the bay, it looked like an island, a new, unmapped island of Krabi visible from this popular spot where tourists visit and board tour boats to outlying islands.
