» People tend to think that new things are better than old ones, and in the case of mobile phones, computers, cars, shoes and the like, they are probably right. But it's a different story with recipes. We can be sure that dishes that have been popular for generations and that leave nothing to be desired will be with us as long as Thai food is prepared.

Rustic ratchaburi: Old style treats and traditions
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 13/01/2013
» Modern lifestlyles depend so much on speed. Communications technology and the social media it fuels race ahead at such a pace that it seems that after a single night's sleep the world will be changed in the morning.

They tend to be girls with little education from poor families who are desperate for money.
