Don't turn your nose up
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 06/03/2016
» You’re in luck if you are one of those people who likes vegetables so much that you are happy to have some with every meal. They contain almost all of the good things the body needs, and there are health benefits to be enjoyed by eating them regularly. Doctors have recommended that when eating vegetables, especially fresh ones, they should be chewed thoroughly. Then, when they are swallowed, the stomach and intestines are able to fully absorb the nutrients they contain without having to work too hard.

Let food be thy medicine
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 14/06/2015
» People who don’t do much of their own cooking probably think that preparing a meal is a complicated business. First it has to be planned, then the ingredients bought, and then there is the time spent cooking. After that there are dishes to be washed and cleaning up to do. Even then, there is no guarantee the food will turn out well. Finally, the money involved might be more than what you would have paid if you had simply bought the meal. So, might it just be a good idea to forget about the cooking, decide what you want to eat, where you want to eat it, and how much you want to spend, and then buy your meal?

Given their variety it is not surprising that they are so popular.

Northern soul
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/03/2015
» Thai cookbooks have evolved over the years. The first one that we know about, published in 1908, was written by Thanphuying Plien Phaasakonwong, and was called Mae Khrua Hua Paa (archaic Thai for “The Cook”). Besides being a skilled cook, Thanphuying Plien was an avid collector of recipes from various sources. In her book she gave measurements, a practice that was considered modern because cooks had previously relied on personal expertise in deciding how much of a given ingredient was to be used, rather than systemised measurements.

Handling the floodwaters
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 27/10/2013
» Ayutthaya has been flooded again, but that is hardly news. The inundations have been taking place throughout recorded history. The thing that has made recent floods unusual has been their severity and violence, caused by environmental change and, in part, by the increased population. With more land being developed, the rivers and canals can no longer handle the amount of water flowing into them.
