You may recall my recent post about attending David Thompson’s Thai cooking demonstration here in Bangkok. I was there for CNNGo, a recently launched travel and lifestyle site that focuses on six Asian cities.1
I put together an audio slide show about the David Thompson event that you can find on the site here. And I’m embedding it below. Thompson talks about authenticity in cooking, what he finds appealing about Thai cuisine, and more.
If you have a look around CNNGo, you’ll also find a couple of my earlier contributions in the Bangkok section.
In one piece, I describe the best burgers in Bangkok.2
And another item is called “The Siam Sunray: Chasing down Thailand’s ‘signature’ cocktail.”3
