As a longtime Sukhumvit resident, I like to consider myself as pretty tolerant and adaptable. I take traffic in stride. I can feign ignorance and bliss when a fat, sweaty, hairy farang beside me is stinkin' up the whole BTS car. And yes, I CAN sit sidesaddle on the back of a motorcycle in tight skirt and high heels while counting loose change/sending SMS/applying lipstick~!!But the arrival of the intrusive, noisy, mightily annoying "Hello Bangkok" advertising trucks with HUUUGE-ass TV screens mounted on the back is reeeeally testing my patience (and the decibel limit of my eardrums... PLUS giving me premature wrinkles).I first encountered these intolerable vehicles one morning a few weeks ago while in a TAXI. Since then, I've been regularly bothered, attacked and molested on Sukhumvit Road by these monstrous things blasting various ads and yappy small talks which I'm sure add absolutely NOTHING to the well-being and happiness (not to mention health) of the good people of Sukhumvit.I..

According to Bangkok's Independent Newspaper, The Nation, Bangkok's best Pilates studio, Pilatestudio on Ploenchit Road, Bangkok, is run by PhysicalMind Institute certified Pilates teachers."Throughout an hour-long Pilates class, you hear deep breathing - almost like sighing - every five seconds.That's because rhythmic breathing is at the core of the exercises. Pilates concentrates on inhaling and exhaling and strengthening the abdominal muscles, says Kultida Puranaputra, an actress and one of the nine instructors at Pilate studio.'Your mind has to relate to your body,' she says. Kultida and the other instructors earned their certificates at the Physicalmind Institute in New York City."Further,"One of the students at Pilatestudio described the regimen as a one-stop exercise service. 'If you go to a fitness centre, you might use several different pieces of equipment to exercise your entire body. But if you join a Pilates class, you exercise every part of your body in just one hour,' say

Here we go again, it seems that the Thai police is again searching and raiding pubs around Bangkok in search of illegal drugs. This weekend they raided a pub at Thong Lor and a pub/bar/dancing in the Suttisarn area.

Who doesn't love Thai food? No other cuisine, in my opinion, marries all the opposite ends of the food spectrum and makes it taste so good!!! There's the sweet and we're talking dark rich palm sugar. The sour. Think of juicy limes. The salty. Pungent Thai Fish sauce. And the spicy. Big long green and red chillies. I have been visiting Bangkok (with work) on and off for about 12 years. I was there recently again and decided to spend the 39 deg C day out and about photographing the various street food hawkers. The Thais have got it happening allright. You will find an array of food all cooked and available on the street. Juicy corn on the cob. Green mangoes being prepared for a spicy salad. Deep fried bananas with sesame seeds. Thai pancakes. The list is endless. I was so lucky because it was mango season and there was mango sticky rice available everywhere. Gently steamed rice bathed in sugar syrup, topped with freshly cut mango and drizzled with coconut cream. He
