Probably the most well-known and sought-after form of Thai crafts, celadon ('green stone') is a kind of high-fired stoneware, carefully hand-made with a wood-ash glaze. Although its name means 'green stone', celadon
does come in many other shades as well. Another striking feature of celadon is its cracked glazed surface, which is caused by a difference in the coefficient of contraction between the body of the clay and the glaze
when the product is cooling

Celadon, Bangkok, Thailand, tasted on December 3, 2005 — In general, eating alone is no way to eat. Eating is a social experience meant to be shared. Social interaction aside, when you're trying to get a sense of a
restaurant, going with many people is best so you can try as many dishes as possible. Imagine how difficult it is to try a bunch of dishes when you're not only eating alone, but the food is served family style (as
it is in most Thai restaurants). I suppose that's all I can really complain about given how good the food was at Celadon, a super interesting and refined Thai restaurant at the Sukkothai hotel in Bangkok
