» Throughout their decades-spanning career in the music biz, Pet Shop Boys have always operated within the realm of sophisticated synth-pop that advocates varying degrees of dancefloor abandon. For lyricist Neil Tennant and composer Chris Lowe, however, it's not just about the allure of club culture or pure hedonism. From day one, social consciousness gets woven into the sonic fabric of their music. "In a West End town, a dead-end world/ The East End boys and West End girls," Tennant sings about the class and wealth gap on their 1984 debut single West End Girls.

The engine started and we were off in the sunshine and sea breeze to Koh Taen and Koh Matsum, less than 20 minutes from Phang Ka Bay on Koh Samui.

» 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.
