Thailand’s famous jasmine rice claimed yet another top prize on the world stage this month, marking the sixth such honour the World Rice Conference has bestowed on the fluffy, fragrant and full-bodied grain since 2009. The “Khao Dawk Mali 105” – a code name for the most renowned Thai jasmine rice variety – defeated rivals from Cambodia, China, the United States and Vietnam with “its combination of aroma, texture, and flavour”, said the judging panel at the annual forum for rice suppliers and policymakers. Thai growers attributed the win to an early onset of cool winds that swept Thailand ’s northeast earlier this year, making the grains “particularly shiny, strong and fragrant”, said Charoen Laothamatas, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association. But the recognition caps a difficult year for Thailand, which is set to see the lowest rice exports in two decades due to falling global demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the baht’s strength and export competition from ... » Learn More about Can Thailand save its rice bowl, or will China, India and Vietnam eat it for lunch?

What started as a respectful washing of Buddha images with water to welcome in the forthcoming wet season, has turned into a mega-water fight.

It is a celebration and there’s plenty of music, noise, smiles AND water. Sawasdee pi mai!! Happy Songkran. 1) Wear goggles Where did that water come from that just shot in your eye?

It will sting either way. A cheap pair of ... » Learn More about Songkran Survival Guide – Top 10 Tips (2019)
