    Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 02/11/2023

    » Since Bali is renowned for its beautiful beaches, upon arriving, our group, consisting of BWH Hotels executives and media representatives, headed straight to view the picturesque sunset at Jimbaran Beach. The beach was scenic with crystal-clear seawater and silky sand. In addition to people strolling along the shore, I observed two cute puppies tirelessly scampering back and forth from the beach to the sea.

    » Woraphot Bunkhwamdi is a naturalist with a special interest in the sounds of nature and birds.

This incident was one of several reasons which encouraged him to record the sounds of nature.

    Preserving local traditions

    Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 15/03/2023

    » Since Phetchaburi and Songkhla have an abundance of sugar palm trees, people recognise these two provinces for their palm sugar products. When local ingredient expert Anusorn Tipayanon and community architect Jantrarat Jantaratippalukit visited Pattani, they were surprised to see the palm sugar production process there. After trying wak or krachae (liquor made from palm sugar) in Panare, Anusorn came up with the idea to create the exhibition "Soul/Sweet" which depicts products made from palm sugar.
