Explore: Scent From Bangkok

สวัสดี (S̄wạs̄dī!) to our sixth scented candle subscription box, Scent From Bangkok, where a clear stream becomes an opalescent, pink blossom speckled river that cascades between mountaintops, reverberating like the om of Theravada monks. Alongside, a herd of elephant salute the sunrise and not too far off from them jungle tigers roar birdsongs. The river wends and winds between the temples of Wat Arun and Wat Pho, where resplendent reclining Buddha greet those willing to walk a lesser trodden path. Through the city, the sound of falling water is replaced by ranat, pi and klong (xylophones, oboe and drums), the padding of masked Khon dancers, whose costumes coruscate in the warming midday sun, and the cries of a street vendor with a fig flower on her wrist who promises the sweetest and spiciest food that Bhat can buy.
