      <description>E-commerce is the name of the game in Asia and Thailand is leading the way with mobile-driven offerings, but desktop usage remains surprisingly relevant for certain types of purchases.
The predominance of mobile usage for e-commerce was highlighted in a 2018 survey by shopping and rewards platform ShopBack, including 1,500 merchants across Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand). Among this group, Thai people showed the strongest preference for making...</description>

      <description>For many years it was generally accepted wisdom that grapes for making wine could only be cultivated between 30 and 50 degrees of latitude, in either the northern or southern hemisphere.
Over the past three decades or so, however, vignerons from Scandinavia to Southeast Asia have been growing grapes and making wines in other latitudes in defiance of the old convention – and some of them are surprisingly good.
Thailand was among the pioneers of what are now called “New Latitude” wines. Other...</description>

      <description>The idea of a holiday spa has been around since humans discovered the healing properties of hot springs, and things have become quite specialised since the days of Roman baths. Yoga retreats, ­“spa-cations” and fitness boot camps have been with us for decades but recent years have given rise to personalised health getaways dubbed “wellness tourism” – now the focus of many resorts in Asia, more prominently Thailand.
Today’s understanding of wellness recognises that health is an all-encompassing...</description>
