» The Otop fair to be held from Dec 15-23 at Muang Thong Thani will showcase an enormous range of specialities from all regions of Thailand. It is one of the grandest and most interesting fairs to visit. At the same time, it is one where buyers often face difficulty in finding things they are looking for.

» Excessive use of plastic bags has created serious environmental problems ever since the product was first introduced to Thailand. But plastic waste has never been tackled effectively. Tonnes of the stuff is dumped daily at rubbish sites around the country, with the waste piling up and becoming mountains of plastic. Authorities continue to secure more plots for dumping. Campaigns to address plastic pollution are sporadic and often poorly co-ordinated. They tend to begin with a great deal of fanfare, then quickly fade away having achieved little.
Eating the way it used to be

» Bangkok is full of places where you can go to eat. There are food streets where diners can select dishes and varieties to suit their preferences. People can have meals at food centres in supermarkets or at restaurants in department stores or shopping malls. Besides that, they can dine at stand-alone food shops and eateries located on every corner of the city. There are no limitations at all when it comes to food and dining in Bangkok.
The lotus eaters

» The lotus flower may be small in size, but culturally, it holds great significance for Thais and Buddhists around the world. The lotus, a plant that emerges from mud and rises above water, is a symbol of purity. Symbolically, it cleanses and purifies. Buddhists use lotus flowers as offerings to convey their sincere respect for monks and venerated figures in Buddhism.
Oodles of noodles

» I reckon Thailand has more varieties of noodle dishes and more noodle shops than any other country. This is because noodles are a favourite dish for all. You can find noodle shops everywhere. They are inexpensive and so fast to prepare. Furthermore, eaters can add seasoning to flavour their own bowl.

» Let's have a look at some regional food that is representative of different regions. Nasi dagang is a speciality in the three southernmost provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. It consists of rice cooked in coconut milk, with salt, sugar, cumin, fenugreek, ginger and shallots. This type of rice is suitable for fish curry and chicken curry. In the past, it was typically reserved for important occasions, but now it's considered part of the regular cuisine.
The bottle half full

» There's always an underlying sense of deadpan humour and laid-back nihilism to the way Kurt Vile approaches his music. This is especially true on his previous two records (2015's b'lieve i'm goin down and last year's collaborative effort with Courtney Barnett Lotta Sea Lice) as well as his latest, Bottle It In, which marks his first new solo work in three years. Recorded in several locations around the US while on tour, the 78-minute album is helmed with assistance from indie rock's upper echelon of producers including Rob Schnapf (Elliot Smith) and Peter Katis (The National, Japandroids), plus fellow artists ranging from Kim Gordon to Warpaint's drummer Stella Mozgawa.
