B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 19/06/2016

A tom yam is exactly right, and is often the first choice.

B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 22/01/2017
» 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.

B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/01/2017
» When we take our first steps into a new year, starting on the path can be more reassuring if we look back on the year that just ended and put some of the things we experienced in it in one place. Over the past year, the Cornucopia column looked at many things -- among them, the old riverside neighbourhood along the Chanthaburi River, the Pathumwan area as it used to be; the informal markets known as talaad nat; traditional folk medicines; smoked fish; pesticides in vegetables; local dishes you can only enjoy by doing some travelling, and much more.

Nostalgic for fantastic plastic alternatives
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 19/02/2012
» Environmental topics like global warming, the need for recycling and the prospect of rubbish overwhelming the Earth seem to be very much on people's minds. And it looks like solutions are a long way off. The use of cloth bags at grocery stores is an example. Even when used, vegetables, chillies, limes, pork, chicken and fish still go into separate bags before going into the cloth bag. Plastic in various forms is everywhere in our daily lives and the main reason for that is convenience.
