Last year, Piquant Bread Bar and Grill joined the moveable feast of upscale bistros and lounges that George Street has become. Piquant is a spare but inviting space, dressed in calming earth tones. Though it bills itself as “Organic, Eclectic, New Age Indian,” the menu is still a shocker. Thai shrimp salad at an Indian restaurant? Grilled portobello coming from the same kitchen as daal and tandoori? Oh, well. Think local, eat global. I ordered a mint limeade. While I waited, a bowl of crunc... (read more) Author: Chris Carter

16. Thai History - the Ayudhaya Period November 03, 2008 Thai History – The Ayutthaya Period King Ramathibodi I’s name literally means ‘Rama at the Bhodi tree’ and pays homage to the tree under which the Buddha gained enlightenment and was freed from attachment to impermanent phenomena.

17. Pattaya, Thailand - Top 5 November 03, 2008 Pattaya Top 5 1) Tee off.

Once everyone is suitably inebriated, a thick blanket of foam is pumped onto the dance-floor, under whose cover everyone slips and slides around. Although this is about as attractive to older visitors as a spell in a dentist’s chair, younger tourists love it. 3) Check in at the Cabbages and Condoms Resort. Part of a nationwide ch...

19. Bangkok - City of Angels - plus a few beelzebubs November 03, 2008 Whilst Bangkok’s Thai name nowadays is ‘Krung-thep’, which means ‘city of angels’, its original name was … Bangcok.

Drive down one of Bangkok’s many tree-lined streets and you can almost imagine yourself on a French boulevard, until the vehicle in front belches out a noxious blast of black fumes and the traffic policeman on the corner retreats inside his booth for...

20. Behind the Thai Smile November 03, 2008 “A good holiday is one that is spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours” - J.B. Priestley If the Thais are not number one on the list of the world’s happiest peoples, then they are at least very close to the top, in part due to their attitude to adversity, which is stoic in the extreme. Hardly anybody in Thailand will off-load their problems and miseries on you, as this is seen as an imposition; they will smile and joke at their misfortunes instead. In a memorable interview of a tsunami survivor who had lost almost her entire family in the tragedy, she amazed Western a... (read more) Author: simon ramsden

21. Thai language funnies November 03, 2008 Language Misunderstandings abound. Thai is not at all an easy language to learn, despite its simple grammar and small vocabulary, due to its tricky tones.

The reader may have heard that Thai has five different tones, but actually there are ten different ways to pronounce a word, because all five of the tones can be long or short. So I’m no...
