» Charming cities attract and induce visitors to visit again and again, which is a boon to the local economy. While many provinces have cemented their place as established tourist attractions, some lack distinctive tourism qualities as they do not offer much in terms of entertainment for typical tourists. Instead, they draw visitors due to their serenity where livelihoods and the social fabric of communities have remained unblemished. As such, Pak Tor district stands out as one of those most fascinating places to visit.

» Thailand can be dubbed the land of kuay tio (Chinese noodle) dishes. But we know very little about how they came into existence. It is known that kuay tio nuea (beef noodle soup) was created about a century ago in Chinatown, where a large number of migrant Chinese workers sold their cheap labour loading goods using their bare shoulders or pulled carts. Homeless and desperate, they took refuge in temporary shelters or storage warehouses at night. They went for the cheapest food, which was boiled pig or cow intestines with steamed rice. Peddlers sold the food in front of an opium den, where many labourers went to sleep at night after eating dinner.

» Well, what do you know -- Foals have managed to pull it off after all. The English indie-rock mainstay finally follows up their Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1, released back in March, with the second and final instalment. In Part 1, frontman Yannis Philippakis and co got political with tracks like Exits and Sunday while dutifully filling the quota for danceable indie bangers with On The Luna and In Degrees. On the production side, it swung from indie rock and new-wave to funk and disco -- a classic Foals album through and through.
