  • Pad Thai Recipe -- Thaitabl
    Pad Thai Recipe -- ThaiTable.com http://www.thaitable.com/Thai/recipes/Pad_Thai.htm . Pad Thai - This Pad Thai recipe is how you actually find it in Bangkok and comes from testing hundreds of different variations from food carts all over the city. Pad Thai is the ultimate street food. While "street food" may sound bad, food cart cooks are in such a competitive situation, with such limited space, ingredients and tools they need to specialize in a dish or two just to stay in business. The best of these cooks have cooked the same dish day-after-day, year-after-year, constantly perfecting it. Great Pad Thai is dry and light bodied, with a fresh, complex, balanced flavor. I've never actually seen the red, oily pad thai in Thailand that is common in many western Thai restaurants. The ingredients listed below can be somewhat intimidating but many are optional. If you would like to make authentic Pad Thai, just like in Thailand, use all the ingredients. Pad Thai is another perfect vegetarian dish, just omit shrimp and substitute soy sauce for fish sauce. Add more tofu if you like. 2-3 Servings 1/2 lime 1 of 3 1/17/2010 2:07 PM Pad Thai Recipe -- ThaiTable.com http://www.thaitable.com/Thai/recipes/Pad_Thai.htm 1 egg 4 teaspoons fish sauce 3clovesgarlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon ground dried chili pepper ground pepper 1 shallot, minced 2 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoon tamarind 1/2 package Thai rice noodles 2 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2-1/4 lb shrimp Optional 1/2 banana flower Optional 1/3 cup tofu - extra firm Optional 1-1/2 cup Chinese chives - green Optional 2 tablespoons peanuts Optional 1-1/3 cup bean sprouts Optional 1 tablespoon preserved turnip Optional Tips and substitutions By far, the trickiest part is the soaked noodles.

  • No Buildings on Lands Over 80 Meters Above Sea Level? - a Case Study of Kamala, Phuket
    No buildings on lands over 80 meters above sea level? - a case study of Kamala, Phuket Somporn ONTHONG 1*, Sangdao WONGSAI 2 1*Graduate student, Faculty of Technology and Environment Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus 2Andaman Environment and Natural Disaster Research Center (ANED), of Technology and Environment Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus 80 Moo 1 Vichit Songkram Rd., Amphur Kathu, Phuket 83120, Thailand; Tel: +66-676-276-142; Fax. +66-7627-6002 E-mail: [email protected] *, 1*, [email protected] 2 Abstract A current issue on Phuket-stay-green above 80 meters from sea level is controversial among property investors and environmentalists. This study addressed this problem posed by mapping land uses at the elevated zones determined by the provincial policy and regulation. A case study was carried out for Kamala sub-district, Phuket, the South of Thailand. The Geoeye satellite image accessed in January 2011 was used to classify land use and land cover types. Field survey was conducted for the accuracy assessment of land use and land cover mapping. Four zones were 0-40 meters, 40-80 meters, 80-125 meters and above 125 meters from sea level. Our findings emphasize that the lands at the elevated zones 0-40 meters and 40-80 meters were mainly categorized as bare lands. These lands have not yet been filled up as the investors have overstated. There would be no need to revise the policy and regulation for allowing the buildings and constructions on the lands above 80 meters. Future land use policy and management should consider a balance between the development and environmental protection.

  • Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach a Case of Thailand
    Tc.urism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing Lincoln University 2004 Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed.in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. ii Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated.

  • The Conceptual Framework of Determinant Factors of Food
    International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 15, Issue 2 (April) ISSN 2289-1552 2018 THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF DETERMINANT FACTORS OF FOOD EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE AND OUTCOMES OF INTERNATIONAL TOURIST SATISFACTION: EMPIRICAL STUDY ON MALAYSIAN STREET FOOD Rafatul Haque Rishad ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework to find out determinant factors of food emotional experience and outcomes of international tourist satisfaction about Malaysian street food. Literature in this study has noticed that, a lot of research has been done on the traditional food sector of Malaysia, compare to a very few on the street food sector especially to attract the foreign tourists and to find out their level of emotional attachment on point of product offering, health issue, atmosphere and service quality of Malaysian street food. Since no validate model has been developed so far, street food vendors are yet to be aware of how to provide quality services to the foreign tourists. Many researchers have found that the food is a major part of tourist attraction, so there may be a possibility of reducing the flow of international tourist in Malaysia near future. Introduction Food is the supreme elements in the tourism sector that acts as a sense of place attraction for travelers (Bessiere, 1998; Cohen & Avieli, 2004; Ryu & Jang, 2006; Seo, Kim, Oh, & Yun, 2013; Luis & Panuwat, 2016; Simon & Wang, 2017; Chen & Huang, 2018) who seek for unusual or extraordinary food experience and different food culture that might not acquire at their home countries.

  • Bubble Waffles a Popular Treat from Hong Kong, Bubble Waffles Are Also Called Eggettes Or Egg Puffs
    News and trends for January – and a chance to join the Good Food team! edited by ELAINE STOCKS INTRODUCING Bubble waffles A popular treat from Hong Kong, bubble waffles are also called eggettes or egg puffs. The waffle batter is cooked in a special mould, and the honeycomb-like structure results in crispy edges and soft, chewy ‘bubbles’. A little custard powder is added to the batter to make them taste sweeter. Why we're eating them now Although they were originally served plain, bubble waffles became popular in Europe as people started to experiment with increasingly decadent toppings. Wrapped around inventive ice cream flavours or piled elainestocks @ high with sweets and chocolate sauce, they're Instagram gold. Where to buy the mould Follow Elaine Follow We used Nordic Ware’s cast-iron egg | waffle pan (£65.95,divertimenti.co.uk ), which gives impressive results (but isn’t suitable for induction hobs).

  • Medical Information
    Medical Information READ THIS FIRST We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas. Medical facilities The standard of medical facilities throughout Thailand varies. While private hospitals with international standard facilities can be found in major cities, services can be limited elsewhere. Private hospitals generally require confirmation of insurance or a guarantee of payment before admitting a patient. Costs can be very expensive. Generally, serious illnesses and accidents can be treated at private or public hospitals in Bangkok and other large cities. However, medical evacuation to a destination with the required facilities may be necessary in some cases at considerable cost. Medical tourism Medical tourism, including for cosmetic and sex-change operations, is common in Thailand. Australians should ensure that they are not lured to discount or uncertified medical establishments where standards can be lacking, resulting in serious and possibly life-threatening complications. Travel insurance may not provide coverage. Please refer to http://smartraveller.gov.au/guide/all- travellers/health/Pages/medical-tourism.aspx Prescription medications Some prescription medications available in Australia are controlled substances in Thailand, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor. Restrictions also apply to some over the counter medications available in Australia, including drugs containing codeine.
