It seems as if Whisky is the new chameleon – does its taste better at a higher altitude? Well, some people tend to think so. The idea of sipping whisky in the clouds seems exotic and much far away from reality. While the former is true, the latter is not. Sipping whisky in the sky is as much as a reality as a trip to the moon. All of this can be experienced in Bangkok’s Alfresco 64, which claims to be the world’s highest whisky bar. It is located on the 64th floor of the city

As food critics, we often come across cases where one culture adapts the food of another. Most of the time, the resulting dishes are far from capturing the flavors and cultures of another world. Appia is one of many restaurants that takes on Italian cuisine. Being in Asia, Bangkok is obviously far from Italy. It is easy to expect that they are likely to bring the typical, expected and cliché dishes. However, Appia breaks the mold. Rather than bringing heavy carbonaras and sli

by Amanda Dyer In a pulsating city like Bangkok, you are spoilt for choices when it comes to 5 Star accommodation. The city boasts some great hotels from the major chains but if you want something a little more curated to an edgier lifestyle – then the W Hotel Bangkok is where you need to be. Period. Our stay here was brief but spectacular nonetheless. It was almost like they knew exactly the type of experience we wanted and were there to deliver it. Upon check-in we were gre

This video was created by TMB Bank (Thai Military Bank) in Thailand and launched in 2011. It’s not a new video but one that we absolutely love and wanted to share with you all. The purpose of this video was the get people to start to think differently – “outside the box” if you like. The “Make THE Difference” video was based around a film of a group of young footballers from a fishermen island in the south of Thailand called “Koh Panyee” who wanted so badly to play football,

Here in Asia, we have seen many different cultural fads come and go.

Very nice Thai men with families and day jobs (one is a cop!) get together daily to dress like Mexican gangsters you would find in California. Calling themselves the “Far East Eses” – these homies dress like and even have the freakish
