## Resource

In a special episode recorded during Greg's travels in Canada, he interviews three good friends of the podcast about their particular speciality, and what their thoughts are on Bangkok despite being so far away from the city they love. First we talk to Pailin Chongchitnant of Pailin's Kitchen about her efforts to stay on top of the latest trends in Thai cuisine, what the landscape looks like in Canada, and her new cookbook. Next we check in with Chris Rowthorn , a good friend of Greg's, former Lonely Planet Japan author, and lover of all things Thai, about how Bangkok gets under your skin even after you move away. Lastly we check in with OG Bangkok Podcast season 1 co-host Anthony Joh about his epic motorcycle touring videos, quirks about living in Japan, and the possibility that he might soon come back to live in Thailand. It's a bit of a departure from our regular episodes, but we'll be back to our normal programming next week!
