» A government minister has floated the idea that rural folks who had left Bangkok following the Covid-19 outbreak should undertake New Theory farming in their hometowns and never return to work in the city. He proposed that the Ministry of Agriculture provide training and appropriate technology to boost productivity. It sounds like good news, but is nothing new. We have heard similar things many times in the past.

» Wickerwork is one of the oldest practices that mirror the lifestyle and traditions of Thai communities. It displays the creativity and craftsmanship of our ancestors in converting the raw materials available at hand into equipment so beautiful and functional that it remains in use to this day.
Top 25 Singles of 2019 (Part II)
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 29/12/2019
» As tradition dictates, we rummaged through some 200 singles we'd reviewed over the past 12 months and narrowed it down to 25. Here's what we learned in 2019: Thai fusion is still very much a go-to for most up-and-coming bands including Southern Boys and Suthep Entertainment, who both look to their roots for inspiration. This year also had its fair share of blazingly political moments, thanks to Solange, Lana Del Rey and our own rap troupe Rap Against Dictatorship. One final note, even though this list is split into two parts spreading across this and next week, these tracks are not ranked and their order is completely arbitrary in nature.

» As promised last week, we've gone back through the 200 or so singles we reviewed over the past 12 months, narrowing them down to our favourite 25. But before we get on with the first part of the list, here's what we learned in 2019.

Such advice is indeed sensible because a number of illnesses are caused by unhealthy diet, eg too much fatty meat, deep-fried foods and carbohydrates. Fresh vegetables are rich with vitamins, protein, minerals and fibre. They are cholesterol-free, fat-free and unsalted.

Preservation celebration

» In the past, when people caught or bought so much fish or meat that they weren't able to eat it all, they had various techniques to preserve it so it could be stored for long periods of time. They did not let any meat spoil because it involved so much hard work and so many resources to acquire it. And of course, in those days, refrigeration was not an option.
Sample some local flavour
B Magazine, Published on 08/09/2019
» When you travel to the provinces in search of a genuinely local experience, one of the best ways to do that is to try the local food. But, be warned; you may have to forget the sights, sounds and flavours of the dining experience you are used to in Bangkok.
