10 Sept 17:42 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's iconic mango sticky rice (khao niao mamuang) secured the second position globally among 26 mango dishes, as rated by TasteAtlas.
This traditional Thai dessert, classified as a rice pudding, combines steamed glutinous rice, sweetened coconut milk, and fresh mango slices.
India's 'aamras' claimed the top spot, while other Thai mango dishes like 'mamuang nam pla wan' also featured on the list.
The ranking follows previous controversy where TasteAtlas drew criticism for rating 'kaeng tai pla,' a traditional southern Thai curry, as the world's worst dish.

Bright at Midnight: Conceptual echoes of Bas Jan Ader Arrive in Bangkok

Today 15:13 Key points summarised by AI

"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
