Gq Thailand Magazine

[Mariu Carlton]

Magazinesformed a major component of the Thai publishing industry in 20th century. Printed Thai-language serial publications began with The Bangkok Recorder in 1844, but it wasn't until after the abolition of absolute monarchy in 1932 that a distinct genre of magazines, as opposed to newspapers, began to form, prominently featuring fiction and lifestyle-related content. Magazine publishing experienced a boom in the late 20th century and the 2000s, diversifying into many niche titles, numbering over 400 at its peak. However, they sharply declined as a result of digital disruption in the 2010s, and many have since either converted to online-only or ceased publication entirely.[1][2]

Southern Thailand, I was told, has two seasons: mud and dust. However, the weather in February was blissful. The rainy season was finished, and the stretch of hot sunny days and warm evenings was interrupted only occasionally by brief downpours, which made for a bit of variety and damped down any threat of dust.

The boats are most commonly the picturesque longtails. They can be rented on the spot in many areas, or through an agent. You can either join a tour and share a boat with perhaps a dozen others, or you can rent your own. For four people or more, a private hire affords more freedom, not to mention comfort. Our host set us up for a day of cruising, swimming and snorkelling among some of the nearby islands. If you disembark on nearby Poda, Chicken or Tub island, be prepared to pay a national parks fee of about fifteen dollars.

Dining options are plentiful. By our standards food is very inexpensive, except at the most upmarket restaurants. Traditional Thai food and various seafood dishes are, not surprisingly, the main draw. Whole red snapper steamed with lemongrass and soya sauce, and seafood custard curry are but two local specialties.

Restaurants are everywhere, and appearances, like book covers, can be misleading. Even the less prepossessing have good food. Menus are nearly always posted, and usually include photos to help the foreigners.

There is a large Muslim population in this area of Thailand, and a proportional number of Halal restaurants, which can be recognized by the Arabic signage. No pork on the menus, of course, nor alcohol. Just good food. There are also a number of street vendors who sell Halal Thai food. Massaman Curry, mmm!

The villas of Baan Ping Tara are modern, comfortable, and simply but stylishly decorated. With western-style kitchen, wi-fi, pool, and other amenities, you might not want to leave. But get out on the complimentary scooters, and enjoy your time in Ao Nang. Contact Baan Ping Tara directly or through Airbnb.
