» Of late, news reports state that vegetable prices are rising. This must be true. Three months ago I could buy some coriander and spring onion with 5 baht. But a few days ago, I had to pay 10 baht for a lesser amount of the same veggies. Not only are coriander and spring onion going up, but so are prices of other vegetables.

Or believe it's a waste of time. Some think it costs more to cook at home than dining out.

B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 03/03/2019
» There was once a time in Thailand when the population was small and the waters were full of life.

» This week's Cornucopia takes you to an annual food and dessert festival that has been held for almost 30 years. It's a not-to-be-missed event for those who are familiar with it because foods and desserts that are rare these days will be available at incredibly cheap prices.

Neither is it a promotional happening to make a shopping mall famous. And it takes place at a temple.
