Thailand is now among the top weddings and honeymoon destinations in the world, and October is an auspicious month for weddings, according to local beliefs. Thus this month, Look East focuses on “Weddings & Honeymoons” as its main theme, but expect the same informative, interesting, and entertaining content about Travel and Lifestyle that you love to read in the magazine every month!   


Bangkok, indeed, is a great place to enjoy the art of eating. Or, if we want to be a little bit fancier: the art of gastronomy. And it goes beyond Thai food.
We suggest that foodies try not only the restaurants on the list but also those that they find suited to their personal taste, preferences, and budget.
Here’s hoping that this special focus on dining and gastronomy will enhance your enjoyment of Look East even more.
Happy reading everyone!
