» When the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) announced its decision to clear vendors from the city's streets, they didn't present a clear-cut plan for the procedure. Many wondered where the vendors would be moved to. Others asked if sellers would quit their livelihoods altogether and find a different job once and for all.

» This is a recount of the latest Otop (One Tambon, One Product) event held last month. Until now, what I enjoyed and what I wasn't happy about the event hadn't sunk in. I felt the need to say something about it since the next Otop event will be held at the end of the year.

A sunshine state of mind

» There's more than a handful of things that Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Bangkok have in common. For one, both places are hot, humid and rainy. Another thing is that they are both swarmed by mosquitoes, and palm, coconut and banana trees can be seen everywhere. A visit to Fort Lauderdale could very well make you feel right at home, save for the fact that cars drive on the right side of the road and the city boasts much better urban planning.
If memory serves

» Something strange happens to people who have been around for some time and adopted a certain taste for the past. At times, it could be so bad that may make them either nostalgic or fussy -- maybe both at the same time. They can get depressed thinking about the fact that nowadays Thai food doesn't taste the same as it used to. Those bygone dishes may look the same, perhaps slightly different, but they simply don't taste the same. Such a disappointment is hard to swallow.
A flash in the pan

» The most notorious pan in Thailand now is the Korea King pan being sold through social media and home shopping networks. The value-adding word "Korea" makes the Teflon pan seem more hi-so and eligible to be expensive. The product's advertisement claims that the frying equipment is worth 13,000 baht but the buy-one-get-one promotion offers shoppers two for only 3,300 baht. The importers are said to spend 15-16 million baht a month for such advertising but so far they have made up to 8 billion baht.
Head south for retirement bliss
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 30/04/2017
» Thailand is becoming an ageing society and some of us need to be well prepared. How will your life be after retirement? It's wise to plan how to get by in those possibly empty-handed years. Better than a plan is to save up now and purchase health insurance or, if life savings permit, invest properly. Make sure you get access to the financial aid and welfare from the government. Don't just age carelessly. You have choices. Make a smart one.
