B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 17/06/2012
» 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.

» These days southern Thai food is very popular in Bangkok, but it took quite a long time for people here to cultivate a taste for it.

Spice of life
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 29/01/2012
» Cardamom is one of Thailand's most popular and widely-used spices. Scan the spice shelves at any big supermarket and you will find it in powdered form marketed under many brand names and imported from several countries. Buyers probably think that the companies that sell powdered cardamom obtain it from India or Indonesia and package it at home. But if you visit a spice shop or traditional pharmacy and ask for cardamom you will be presented with small, fragrant, spherical white pods containing black seeds. Many people also think that these all come from India or Indonesia.
