FAKIN’ IT TO MAKE IT: AN EXPLORATION OF BANGKOK’S FAKE MEAT MARKET

FAKIN’ IT TO MAKE IT: AN EXPLORATION OF BANGKOK’S FAKE MEAT MARKET

Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat, and Omni Meat, Bangkok Foodies Explores the Fake (Vegan) Meat Restaurants Menus and Supermarket Products.

Here come the irritated groans of the anti-vegan brigade claiming vegans should just “eat their rabbit food and shut up”. How dare they use meat phraseology for non-meat foodstuffs? The gaul of it all. The word “sausage” should only ever be used for lengths of intestine stuffed with a gritty mash of pig snout.

20 Blog Posts for Public House Hotel

20 Blog Posts for Public House Hotel

The Public House Hotel, located on Sukhumvit 31 in Bangkok, had specific objectives for their website. Primary among them was the creation of a blog featuring content that was not only helpful and informative but also served as a reliable resource for guests seeking information about the neighbourhood and navigating Bangkok. A secondary goal was to enhance the website’s search engine optimisation (SEO) by incorporating keyword optimisation in every sentence, ensuring their site ranked prominently in searches related to Bangkok, Thailand. Additionally, the content needed to pass scrutiny from multiple AI detection software, maintaining a genuine, human touch.

To meet these requirements, I successfully crafted 20 unique and educational blog pieces, each ranging from 500 to 600 words. This task was accomplished within a stringent 5-week deadline.

The blogs cover a diverse range of topics, including safety in Bangkok, ethical animal experiences, LGBTQIA lifestyles, and, of course, local cuisine. You can read those articles here: www.publichouse-hotels.com/blog

The Big List of Best Affordable Restaurants in Bangkok

The Big List of Best Affordable Restaurants in Bangkok

Exploring the culinary scene in Bangkok is an exhilarating endeavor, but listing the best restaurants is a daunting task. Every street and corner holds the promise of a delightful new food adventure.

In this foodie paradise, you will always regret not being able to eat more as you stumble upon yet another treat to tempt you into overindulging.

With statistics sites estimating Bangkok might have half a million restaurants, it should be a given that this list is nowhere near the tip of the iceberg. It is simply a good start for those who want some tried and tested favourites from some satisfied Bangkok residents.

We wanted to limit our list to independent entrepreneurs and more affordable eats because we love to support small businesses.

For this reason, we have not included places where the price tag is over 1000 THB per person, international chains, or hotel venues.

We have also tried to stick to places that have been around for a long time and will likely stay around.

An Expat’s Guide to Cannabis in Thailand

An Expat’s Guide to Cannabis in Thailand

In Thailand, we call marijuana gan-chaa (กัญชา), derived from the original Sanskrit term, ganja – a favored synonym for the Devil’s lettuce in many countries around the world and an easy one to remember.

Back in August of 2022 when this article was first written, we were all on eggshells, the sudden boom in cannabis business was too good to believe. Every day there seemed to be some rumour of the government trying to put the cat back in the bag. But here we are, as I update the article in March of 2023, and Thailand is still swimming in a haze of ganja smoke.

All over the country, cafes, restaurants, and bars are cashing in on the trend by selling THC-laden products along with more innocuous CBD and hemp offerings for various health benefits.

Yes, you can get high legally in Thailand now but it is important to know the laws so you do not cross a line that could get you in trouble.

Bangkok’s Best Temples

Bangkok’s Best Temples

Thailand loves its temples! There are more than 40,000 of them in Bangkok alone and each one is just stunning. Most visitors will have at least a couple of temples on their “must-see” list when they visit The Kingdom, but which ones are really worth the visit?

In Thailand’s humid heat and incessant sunshine, one must carefully plan their day trips so as to see the best sites without over-exerting one’s self. Sometimes the biggest and most famous tourist attractions are not really the most impressive or most worthwhile. In this guide, I will introduce a few ways for Bangkok travellers to see some of the most interesting temples in the easiest ways possible.

8 Reasons Koh Chang is the Best

8 Reasons Koh Chang is the Best

We have visited the island of Koh Chang so many times! it is pretty close to Bangkok, yet feels a million miles from the bustling metropolis. You can get there in a cab, or save money and take a bus. The island is huge and provides travellers with any kind of vacation they need. With bars and nightlife, as well as total seclusion, crystal clear waters, and rigorous waterfall hikes. This place is just perfect.

5-Star Luxury on Koh Kood Thailand

5-Star Luxury on Koh Kood Thailand

Completely spoiled and ridiculously pampered. When we got the opportunity to visit the amazing Soneva Kiri Resort on Koh Kood Island in Thailand’s northeast, we could hardly believe our luck. The hotel’s private plane picked us up at Suvarnabhumi Airport and in just over an hour we were landing in paradise.

The hotel is just magical, and Koh Kood is heaven. Our massive villa had its own pool, we were given a own golf buggy to cruise around on, and everything we ate was perfection.

Chinatown, Bangkok – Drinking and Dining

Chinatown, Bangkok – Drinking and Dining

For amazing food, hustle and bustle, old timey vibes, and hipster bars, Chinatown “Yaowarat” in Bangkok, Thailand is the place to go.

For our anniversary, Tyler took me on a staycation to Chinatown where we stated at the Shanghai Mansion Hotel. Appropriate since we met in China more than 10 years ago.

We roamed the streets and found that Soi Nana is the perfect location for a pub crawl with dozens of awesome bars along one short block.

Thanks to Travelista for publishing my Chinatown guide. Read about it here!

Kaeng Krachan National Park

Kaeng Krachan National Park

When one lives in a tropical paradise like Thailand, it can be hard not to just go to a beach for a long weekend. Now that we have been here a while, we are starting to explore more of the countryside areas and trying to find places that are popular with Thai local tourists. Kaeng Krachan is a gorgeous dam, reservoir, and national park southwest of Bangkok in the province of Petchaburi. We also visited one of Thailand’s few, ethical elephant and animal sanctuaries Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand.
