  » When tourists hear mention of Krabi, Phuket or Phangnga, the first thing that they think of is probably the sea. All three provinces have broad beaches with fine white sand and emerald-green water. There are many little islands ideal for swimming or sunbathing and from November until April there is rarely any rain, just cloudless, blue skies. During these months, tourists both foreign and Thai flock to the three provinces.

  » If not for the fame of the Tarutao National Marine Park and Lipe Island, with its perfect beaches and beautiful undersea coral gardens, most people would know nothing about Satun province. If recognised at all, it is likely as the location of Pak Bara pier in Langu district, where boats leave for Tarutao and Lipe and for Langkawee Island in Malaysia.

  Fish out of water

  B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 29/12/2013

  » For the fish-loving foodie there are two Thai freshwater fish that warrant special attention. The pla salit (gourami) and the pla kod (naked catfish) may both come from freshwater streams and ponds, but in their physical appearance they have little in common. Also very different are their availability, the way they are eaten and their flavour.

  » Here is a phenomenon unique in a way that only noodle connoisseurs will appreciate — a place where kui tio restaurants of many different kinds exist in the same area. Each has its own distinctive character. All were established many years ago. Each can boast kitchen skills that will be vouched for by anyone who can recognise a good bowl of noodles. And all maintain standards at an unchanging high level.

  » In today’s column I’d like to visit an exceptional restaurant serving Chinese-Thai food. It is located in an ordinary-looking shophouse with the cooking area out in front. Customers are seated in an air-conditioned room, where they are presented with a menu with a long list of dishes. Those who know it will recall it used to be located behind the sports arena at Pathumwan but has now moved to Lat Ya Road in Thon Buri.

  All the fun of the fair

  B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 15/11/2015

  » When you see the chedi of Wat Saket, also called the Golden Mount, wrapped in red cloth, especially at night when it is brightly illuminated, you know the temple’s annual fair is under way. Then an annual visit should be a must, because it is a unique opportunity to see a real Thai temple fair, the biggest and oldest one in Bangkok. There is something there to delight anyone, regardless of age, ethnic background or social class.
