Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 27/01/2023
» Trains allow you a slower pace of life, time to look out the windows and enjoy the journey you're on, a front-row seat to different sceneries. Whether you're a train buff or just looking for a new way to explore Thailand, here's a list of the most scenic railway routes and stations, most being destinations in their own right. Of course, they work as pitstops for photogenic content along the way.
For the (curious) records
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 13/09/2019
» It seems like not a month goes by without Thailand being recognised on a global scale. Recently, Bangkok beat Paris and London as the most visited city in the world for 2018, for the fourth consecutive year, according to a MasterCard ranking. Thailand's capital hosted 22 million overnight travellers. In the midst of the flattering and not-so-flattering world titles Thailand has received, you may not be aware of the times we receive recognition for rather peculiar feats. If your curiosity is piqued, allow me to present the strange/cool world records in the Land of Smiles.

» It’s the little things that bring joy, like sitting bang smack in front of an open kitchen watching the chefs at work.

For the Love of Costumes
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 20/07/2018
» A Thai beauty pageant can be captivating for several reasons, the beauties themselves, the obvious nose contouring, the contestants introducing themselves and the province which they represent in a high-pitched voice at the end -- just to name a few.

» MarkRin Chocolate was born out of the love for chocolate by Assoc Prof Dr Sanh and his wife Kanokked "Thip" La-Ongsri, who also created it as a long-term research project in Chiang Mai. Sanh found that the agricultural geography of Thailand qualified for planting cacao trees. The first cacao plant in Chiang Mai, Sanh crossed two cacao varieties and created his own hybrid called "I.M.1". He and Thip formed MarkRin Farms, to support and form a cooperative, so cacao farmers have a stable occupation since cacao is a monocrop and intercrop. Sanh and Thip also studied and researched cocoa beans fermentation together to develop chocolate from premium quality dried beans.
