Plate photography or glass plate photography is a type of photo-producing technique that uses a thin glass plate coated with light-sensitive emulsion as a capturing medium. Plate photography replaced the earlier Daguerreotype process, and preceded the widely-used celluloid film process, which now, as we know, has just almost been entirely replaced by digital photography. And that captures the four eras of photography that we know of in this world. Above: The collection is in four categories: portraits and people, places, events and objects related to religions, ceremonies and performing arts. In Thailand, the first photography took place in...

PHUKET, THAILAND, UNESCO CITY OF GASTRONOMY Even for a big time foodie like myself, stalking the aisles of super scrumptious local foods in Phuket still feels like running a full-blown marathon. It is exhilarating, euphoric, and yet so never-ending. Allow me to clarify. This is not our first time visiting Phuket and stuffing our faces away. Phuket is our top-listed favourite town.

But after some successful planning, here we are, getting the most out of each day by grouping together the places that we want to do and do it all in one whole day. So the whole of our last Saturday went like this: morning at this gorgeous Bangkhunprom Palace, lunching at Krua Apsorn, and come back to Bank of Thailand’s...
(TH/EN) To me, there are two things in the world that would NEVER go out of style: money and knowledge. I was in my sophomore year, my father allowed me to drive to school for the first time. One condition though, was that each evening, I was to pick him up at his work. My university was on Henri Dunant Road, his office on Silom. Usually, he would get off work late, and strangely, instead of going window shopping at the MBK mall like most of my peers, I would rather be sitting around, doing my homework and reading at his office’s vast library.
