» Katsumi Sakakura is a world-renowned Japanese artist/performer known for his spectacular video projection performances. He syncs his martial arts movements perfectly with a projection of Japanese imagery on a screen, delivering adrenaline-pumping performances. His group ORIENTARHYTHM travels around the world to perform at various events and on TV shows but it has been a long journey for Katsumi to get to where he is today. When we learned that his group will fly to Bangkok to perform at the opening of the Asian Football Confederation Annual Awards on Nov 29, we couldn't resist an opportunity to talk to this fascinating man.

Beacon of Burgers
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 26/10/2012
» For people who are born and raised in Bangkok, burgers probably don't conjure images of a gourmet meal. They are more akin to a grab-and-go kind of deal; a 7-Eleven snack to wolf down when in a hurry. You might grab one at McDonald's, Burger King or Carl's Jr. after your boss makes it clear that your lunch break is one hour maximum. Maybe you have one delivered while watching a football match or TV series marathon with friends on a quiet night in.

» You don't have to be a Valedictorian to realise that the Thai education system is in shambles. If you just spent five minutes memorising the previous sentence, then chances are you may be a product of local education.

Here are six examples of how Thai people have strangely incorporated food into their way of living. Warning: You may never look at food the same way again.
