Surface Thong Lor Bangkok
TheStyle Paul
A lot of reviewers have said the same thing – on paper, Surface seems like it should be a train wreck of a restaurant. The chef is Thai-Indian, trained in America, but doing French/Mediterranean food in Bangkok. We admit, it makes for a compelling story. The truth is less romantic, but more...

Falling in Love with Blue Elephant
TheStyle Paul
Bangkok is a food city. Every week new restaurants spring up, old ones close down, and struggling ones reinvent themselves. Sadly for inbound tourist not versed in the local scene, many of these restaurants are bad. Well…not bad, but uninventive and inauthentic. Chances are if it’s...
Meet the Flower Lady

Ask someone what their first association is when they hear Valentine’s Day. The answer will most likely be either chocolate or flowers. Chocolate is Europe’s thing and anything decent in the kingdom will usually be imported, but the warm, wet, and sunny climate of Thailand is perfect for...

Quickly Learn to Read Thai
TheStyle Paul
There’s a cool new way to learn to read Thai. The Read Thai workshops are a fun way to get up to speed on how to read the odd looking symbols that make up the Thai written system. Of course you’re not going to get full comprehension from this course, but at least you’ll be...
Romancing the River
TheStyle Paul
Most visitors who arrive in Bangkok know little about the river, and, of course, they are completely unaware of what the river has to offer. It’s understandable. The river gets little publicity. Travel brochures and guidebooks emphasize temple and klong tours, museums, restaurants, shopping areas, and nightlife. But then, strange as it might sound, any Thais and permanent residents who live and work in Bangkok aren’t fully aware of the river as well. The River of Kings is a truly magnificent waterway, one of the great rivers of Asia. For Thailand, it’s the nation’s life and soul. The river has been a principal factor in the...

Cha Am Mini Guide
TheStyle Paul
Located 170km south from Bangkok, Cha-Am is a seaside resort popular among Thais. Often considered by many as the twin-sister of Hua Hin, which is just about 25km south, Cha-Am is preferred by locals for its laidback atmosphere and relatively inexpensive (compared to Hua Hin) way of life. The main attraction is the 5km-long beach, which is often packed on weekends and long holidays, where a wide range of accommodations and restaurants are also available. Why go: Cha-Am has far lesser facilities to offer foreign tourist than Hua Hin and while foreigners have been fast “discovering” its charms, it still considered predominantly a...

Bangkok Tattoo
