Life is complicated. In Bangkok, like in so many big cities, people are busy, working hard and just barely getting by. That’s just how it is. But what if there was another way to live, a simpler way. David meets a few locals who through food and architecture are champions and activists for a simpler and perhaps a better way of living.

After falling in love with the sights, smells and of course flavours of Southeast Asia in his many travels through the region, David Rocco has decided to see what this tropical wonderland has in store for him. Travelling to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, David learns traditional dishes and samples the street food he’s heard about from foodies all over the world.Seeing first-hand the unique cultures thriving in rural villages and the bustling cosmopolitan cities, David is inspired to share with the world the stories of the people he meets along the way.
