Struggling to survive
Life, Thana Boonlert, Published on 23/05/2023
» You are what you eat, but some do not have the privilege to choose. Nai, who is skinny and short for his age, lacks more than just a proper diet. He has been abandoned by his mother, and his father is serving a jail term. As a result, his uncle has kindly taken him into his own family. But like others, he is living from hand-to-mouth, so providing his nephew with a balanced diet from the five food groups is difficult. Due to a lack of variety in their diet, slum children, though not starving, are suffering from malnutrition.

» Three-wheeled vehicles, or tuk-tuks as they are known, are popular among tourists in Thailand due to their distinctive appearance and ability to provide a unique local experience. However, when start-up company Urban Mobility Tech (UMT) surveyed the pain points of passengers in Bangkok using public transportation, they responded that tuk-tuks did not have a standard price and the vehicles created noise and air pollution. In 2017, UMT decided to launch Muvmi, an electric tuk-tuk company, to provide an environmentally friendly and safe public transportation option to Bangkokians.

» Rattanapong "Taiki" Tsubota made waves two years ago when he started Homeburg. If it isn't obvious already, the name is a mix of "home" and "burger", which encapsulates the burgers he made back then. But that isn't the reason why his burgers went viral. Aside from being meticulously and precisely crafted, he was serving four to eight burgers a day, eventually racking up a long wait list. Now, he's set up shop for the next six months at 72 Courtyard with Bun Meat & Cheese by Homeburg, where he's serving his famed burgers with a slightly higher availability at 100 burgers a day. We sat down with the burgerman to talk about his method and process, and why he wants to keep a limit on the burgers.

» High on the list of fruits Thais cannot live without is kluai namwa, or cultivated banana, a tropical strand only grown in South and Southeast Asia. The cultivated banana has long been an affordable, ubiquitous food staple for Thais, the same way apples are for Westerners.
