Feel at home in sunshine state

» I would like to introduce Florida, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US. This entire state has so much to offer Thai tourists who are not fans of Western winters. The weather here is just like in southern Thailand. Beaches, the sea and trees are like those in Phuket and Phangnga. Many beautiful white yachts look so good against the crystal blue background of the sea and sky.

A recipe for harmony on the streets of Bangkok

» When the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) announced its decision to clear vendors from the city's streets, they didn't present a clear-cut plan for the procedure. Many wondered where the vendors would be moved to. Others asked if sellers would quit their livelihoods altogether and find a different job once and for all.
It's a jungle out there

» If you make a trip to a place like Sangkhla Buri district in Kanchanaburi, or maybe Ban Rai district in Uthai Thani or Dan Chang district in Suphan Buri, you'll feel that you have left the city far behind and are in a very different environment. So when mealtime comes and you get hungry, you'll probably want to find a restaurant whose character matches that of the town -- one with a view of surrounding forest and mountains, if possible.
An oasis under threat
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 28/02/2016
» Last week in this column I discussed Thailand’s system of managing tourism, one that is causing the degradation and destruction of many old communities and valuable historical sites. I suggested a number of reasons for this situation, some concerned with the tourists themselves, some with investors, some with the government offices that oversee tourism and some with an ongoing deterioration in the communities. This week I would like to look at what is happening in one riverside community in Chanthaburi, a very old one that is a new member among the ranks of the victims of Thailand’s destructive tourism policies and practices.

» This may be taking a dim view of things, but our approach to promoting tourism here seems to be geared toward travellers who like things quick and easy. This is the way things are working now, and it has caused the deterioration of many of our tourism sites.
All the fun of the fair

» When you see the chedi of Wat Saket, also called the Golden Mount, wrapped in red cloth, especially at night when it is brightly illuminated, you know the temple’s annual fair is under way. Then an annual visit should be a must, because it is a unique opportunity to see a real Thai temple fair, the biggest and oldest one in Bangkok. There is something there to delight anyone, regardless of age, ethnic background or social class.
