Down on the corner
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 18/07/2014
» With a modest name and unassuming digs, The Corner defies any expectations you may have for a local Euro kitchen in an off-beat neighbourhood. On-hand owners Cédric Cador and Panticha Gunnut don’t make much of a fuss either, letting the menu and easy atmosphere speak for themselves. The place is positioned in a soi on the up, located between the burgeoning Suan Phlu area and Rama IV — just far enough away from Sukhumvit to be interesting. A smart renovation in August saw the space split into a breezy outdoor section at the front (16 seats) and a more protected indoor A/C area (20 seats) behind. The crowd is mostly local residents and walk-in tourists, with plenty of Frenchies in the mix who trickle down from the Euro-tinged enclaves of Yenakart and Nang Linchi. But the hosts would welcome anyone, it seems, judging by the refreshing mix of regulars, accessible menu and inviting prices.

» The sight and sound of construction brings eyesores and promises. Chinatown, one of the Bangkok's oldest neighbourhoods, is undergoing a significant transformation, and for those who make a trip there during the Chinese New Year festival, which begins today, the old-school charm and the signs of progress are dual pulls to the city's famous quarters.

Asia goes APE for a girl just like XU
B Magazine, Published on 11/08/2013
» Dubbed the "Asian Dakota Fanning", 15-year-old Chinese actress Xu Jiao has no reason to be envious of her American counterpart. Having started her rise to fame in the critically acclaimed CJ7, Xu Jiao took her career to another level by crossing over the Yellow Sea to the Korean Peninsula. and starring in Mr Go, which opened internationally, including in Thailand, in early August. Promoting the movie on her first trip to Thailand, Xu Jiao was up before dawn, landing at 4am. She had a quick taste of the local culture (apparently pad thai) before facing an intense and stressful day before the cameras, flanked by journalists whose questions stay pretty much the same no matter the country.
