Get your crispy noodle hit delivered to your door
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 03/02/2021
» One of the many things Thailand is famous for is food. Snacks alone come in a variety of forms and tastes. However, there are a handful of items so delightful that once you have a bite, it's almost impossible to stop eating them. Mi krop (crispy noodles) is one such snack. And the Mon community of Ban Saladaeng Nuea in Pathum Thani's Sam Khok district is home to some of the best mi krop in the province that is Bangkok's immediate neighbour to the north.

A stroll back in time
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 02/07/2020
» A refreshing breeze blew from the other side of the river, greeted by cheerfully rustling leaves of land and aquatic plants along its expansive path. Different kinds of egrets, thanks to their sizes and bright white plumage, could easily be spotted foraging near the waterside, but faint chirps in the air also revealed the presence of numerous other birds hiding among the foliage. In the river, a monitor lizard emerged from the dense floating patches of water hyacinth and swam leisurely in the open to the far bank. Meanwhile, along the lively yet tranquil waterway line traditional-style wooden houses built on tall stilts, some with boats moored at the water's edge.

The air was filled with blissful silence, with faint songs from invisible birds occasionally seeping in from the canopy below.

» The Cai Rang Floating Market is one of the largest of its kind throughout the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam. Despite having gained such knowledge from a brief pre-trip research I wasn't expecting much when I slumbered my way onto the tour boat early in the morning to visit the place. Back home in Thailand I have seen too many floating markets already.

Same same but deliciously different

» When was the last time you visited Pai?” I asked myself while on a van headed to the small town that sits about halfway between the east end of Road 1095 in Chiang Mai’s Mae Taeng district and its west end in the town of Mae Hong Son. With 1,864 curves along its length of 200km, 1095 is notorious asone of the country’s twistiest roads. A rest stop like Pai is a godsend. Over the years, Pai itself has evolved into a popular destination for international and Thai travellers alike. The countryside setting and the mix of ethnic and international cultures make up the charm of this laid-back town surrounded by mountains.
