29 September 2013 by Dwight Turner
Munjai Cafe near Khlong Toey Market

Here’s a quick update on a cafe you should check out called Munjai Cafe, not so far from Klong Toey Market. It’s a cute cafe that’s a bit hard to find if you’re unfamiliar with the area, but it’s definitely worth the journey. If you’re familiar with the social businesses in the Khlong Toey slum […]

Lemongrass Grilled Pork I have to admit, I didn’t actually eat this one, mainly because I walked past it at Bang Nam Pheung floating market after I had just finished a snacking meal feast. However, the aroma coming off this pork put me into a trance. I could detect lemongrass and ginger as it sizzled […]

It’s exactly what you want to see when you go to a Thai-Chinese rice and curry (khao gaeng) restaurant. If you removed the swarms of lunchtime visitors, the restaurant would either look like a haunted house or an old barn, in my opinion, one of the perfect atmospheres for the making of a delicious meal.

Yesterday afternoon I made the journey out to Kasetsart University to explore the Kaset Fair, a gigantic sprawling outdoor bazaar.

The orange bus hurled into the bus stop at Dao Kanong, to a breeze that carried that very familiar scent: Durian. Even though on this sleepy Sunday afternoon I had no plans to get off the bus there, I found myself unable to control the fact that I was stepping out of the vehicle and […]
