Sweet spot
Muse, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 19/03/2016
» For Chiang Mai residents, Wanlamun has long been synonymous with traditional Thai desserts. Even though the popularity of traditional Thai treats is fading, Kanchana Ubolsootvanich still preserves her family-cherished recipes along with uncompromising ingredients and the painstaking cooking process. With the three-month-old expansion of Wanlamun in Bangkok, the sweet maker is catering its time-honoured treats to satisfy those with sweet teeth in the capital. All bearing the culinary hallmark of Shell Chuan Chim, Wanlamun’s khanom chan (layered soft jelly cake), khanom niew (glutinous rice dumplings served with sugar palm syrup and crisped rice), khanom thua pab (sweet mung bean dumplings with grated coconut) and khanom sai sai (sweet coconut-cream soufflé with fragrant coconut filling in banana-leaf wrapping) are the must-tries.

In a void of thoughts
Life, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 08/02/2016
» In a time of self-censorship, when the free mind is blocked, people are restricting their own expression, out of fear. With scepticism, I question how loudly one is allowed to think in such an Orwellian society. When a major political protest took place in March 2009, a Facebook friend asked me openly on my wall if I was a "red shirt" or a "yellow shirt" supporter. I did not answer. Yes, self-censorship. This might have been the very beginning where I -- as an individual -- started to keep my mouth shut. Instead of expressing my opinions, I choose to bottle up my thoughts and keep mum when it comes to politics.
