Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/05/2020

Sounds complicated and contrary to the concept of family-time meals but that's the hidden price you pay in this Covid-19 world. If lucky, your new dining companion may be some kind of doll (not those ones). Whether they are good company or not, these dining companions are likely to be at restaurant tables for a while.

Travel smart, choose your mate wisely
Life, Peerawat Jariyasombat, Published on 30/10/2015
» There is an epigram: "The taste of food may not be as important as the atmosphere and the atmosphere may not be as important as your dining companions."
