Dans la moiteur tropicale, au milieu des volcans de l’île de Java, on peut apercevoir des champs de canne à sucre qui polissent sous le vent. Sur ces terres volcaniques, les cannes profitent de la richesse des sols comme les embruns de la mer toute proche.

Cela pourrait paraître étonnant, et pourtant on produit en Indonésie de l’alcool de mélasse depuis plus d’un millénaire. 

C’est un français, Sébastien Folloppe, qui a voulu reprendre ce savoir-faire oublié pour montrer au monde qu’ici, on fait du rhum, et qu’on le fait bien.

Aujourd’hui une immersion dans l’univers de NAGA, entre l’Indonésie et le royaume de Siam pour retrouver la recette perdue des rhums asiatiques.

Voyagez dans les terres fertiles de l’Asie du Sud Est vers le Siam de l’époque moderne, lieu de hautes luttes entre Orient et Occident, mais aussi entre occidentaux…

Chères auditrices et auditeurs !

votre podcast est définitivement de retour ! pourquoi un tel silence ? l'ennuie de passer des heures sur Audacity, l'envie de sortir tous les week end et avant les couvres-feux. Surtout le désir de me refaire une santé en faisant du sport, perdre 10 kg etc  .Enfin, le covid a mis à bas beaucoup de mes projets.

Mais tel un phenix, Histoires d'Asie revient en mensuel pour des épisodes encore plus étonnants, plus intéressants car le long hiver est terminé !

Cap vers le Siam 

Pour ce 3 ème grand entretien d' Histoires d'Asie, je recois Maelle Pennegues, étudiante à l'Université de Lyon II en Histoire. En 2020, elle a soutenu un mémoire consacré à l'ambassade francaise au Siam de 1685 sous le prisme du journal du missionnaire lyonnais Jean Basset !

Merci de votre fidélité et bonne écoute !

In this episode I am an Englishman in SIAM, for International travellers, the name SIAM conjures up 'The King and I', tuk,tuks, temples and Buddha's.  But what makes Thailand and its capital, Bangkok so very different to a city like London or Paris? With the answer is author and Thailand expert Philip Cornwel-Smith.

In another Neighborhood Focus, the guys revisit an area discussed in Season 2: Thonburi, roughly defined as the ‘other side’ of the river from downtown Bangkok. ‘Revisit’ on the show that is, cause both Greg and Ed have lived in Thonburi for a while - we never left. :) 

So why talk about it again? Well, a lot has changed on our side of Bangkok in the two years since we first covered it. The mega chic complex at Icon Siam has sparked a lot of development in the area properly known as Khlong San. The guys discuss their thoughts on Icon about a year after its opening and conclude that it seems to have improved considerably, with more food options and a greater community feel. It’s still ‘just a mall,’ but props to the developers for trying to do something different, and both Greg and Ed consider it worth a visit. 

The boys then wander the neighborhood, noting the ramshackle homes practically touching the super expensive residences at Icon Siam before hitting a few notable bars and restaurants along the river, ending up at Klong San market and noshing on some great raisin bread. Greg ponders that the Khlong San area of Thonburi is poised to possibly become the Thong Lor of the other side of the river.

Listen in for details and the names of places the guys recommend.

Eng and Chang Bunker were the original Siamese twins that were taken from the home in Siam in the 1800's and brought to America to perform as a freak show exhibit. They became rich men, settled down, bought a plantation, owned slaves, and then lost all of their money after the Civil War. Their lives are a real rollercoaster of emotions.

Siam Kidd: Trading The Daily Chart & Building Multiple Streams Of Income

In episode 84 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Siam Kidd, a Forex daily chart trader with a passion for building businesses. Siam has a very interesting story of how he transitioned into trading and how he had to learn to trade the hard way.

Today, however, Siam has used Forex trading as part of its other streams of income to become financially independent. His trading takes on from 5 to 10 minutes a day on average, which means that Siam has enough time to concentrate on other interests/passions/businesses.

Throughout this interview, Siam placed a lot of emphasis on the fact that replacing a full-time job with full-time trading is none sense. The goal of Forex trading is to increase the freedom in your life, and Siam Kidd sees trading as a stream of income.

Hey, you’re still here! How awesome is that? Welcome to the 2nd episode. Today, we’re talking infrastructure. No, wait! Before you decide to skip the episode, this isn’t an episode filled with mechanical engineering terms. Have you met us?

  The Big Mango is… big. Big city with huge skyscrapers and sprawling concrete to help accommodate the millions of people that live in and visit Bangkok. This is the City of Angels, the second largest city in SE Asia. We’re sorry if that damaged your idyllic notion of rice paddies and floating markets. Thailand has them. Bangkok metro? Not so much. Here we have the Mahanakon Tower - some call it the Jenga or Tetris Building -- the fourth tallest building in SE Asia. We’re looking forward to the grand opening, because that rooftop bar is going to rather swank. But Bangkok isn’t stopping there. There are loads of new buildings, both giant and strange, that will continue to give Bangkok it’s own special character. Just one more reason we both love living in this crazy town. We have world class shopping centers, with more on the way. Traffic sucks. Just plan on that when you visit. The good news is the BTS or MRT work pretty good. And if all else fails, jump on a mototaxi. They flow through bad traffic like water. But we’re getting new lines. Greg made a nifty map to show where some of them will be. Will they all connect? If history is any judge, probably not. Ah, Bangkok. Of course, all that new development has to happen somewhere, and often that means old structures -- sometimes interesting and historic -- are knocked out of the way. Progress? Or a loss of culture? We’ll offer our opinions on the topic of how the changing landscape impacts these two expats. And we’d love to hear what you think! Also, The Windup Girl is a good future-of-Thailand book. Will Bangkok look just like that in 200 years? Eh, probably not. But scifi really doesn’t predict the future as much as it portrays the present. So if you want a fantastical look at what we’re talking about, download the book.
