    Starting in January 2008, I wrote a weekly food blog at thai-blogs.com detailing the street food that we ate in the Paknam Web offices. The idea was to show that food bought from street hawkers is not only cheap but also very attractive and delicious. I think we proved that we could make a meal for 3-4 people for only about US$4. The same meal in restaurants would cost you three or four times as much.
  • Recipes
    These are the Thai Food Blogs that I wrote at www.Thai-Blogs.com in the series called "How to cook..." Every week I showed the ingredients needed to cook a different dish. As usual, I am not pretending to be an expert. I am just someone who loves to learn and to cook Thai food in the kitchen every day. For me, the best way to learn how to cook Thai food is to experiment and to cook by trial and error. When cooking Thai food there is never any precise measurements. You need to know from experience and by tasting your food often during the cooking process.

  • Thai Street Food

    For the month of September 2010 I have set myself a challenge to only eat Thai street food for every meal. To make the challenge more difficult and also interesting at the same time, I cannot repeat any of the dishes. So, that means at least 90 different dishes this month. Some people say that it is cheaper to eat out in Thailand unlike in the West. I often cook food for myself as I don't like having the meals sweetened so much or flavoured with MSG. But, the ingredients I choose and also the electric cooker and oven can make this choice quite expensive. I am also thinking that during this challenge I might put on more weight if I just eat street food all the time. Let's see!

  • Vegetarian Festival
    In Samut Prakan the Vegetarian Festival runs from 7th to 17th October 2010. During this time the nine Gods will come down to earth. In order to show them that they are good, people will keep a strict vegetarian diet and also obey ten basic rules which will help cleanse their mind and body. The symbol for the festival is a small yellow flag with the words in Thai "jay" which means "vegetarian". When looking to buy vegetarian food, we need to look out for the small yellow flags on the foodstalls.
