THAILAND TRAVEL NEWS: In the West the white-sliced loaf of bread has evolved to greater heights and the staple now includes a wide range of ingredients such as fruits, nuts, and various grains to take away the monotony.

In the central Bangkok district of Ratchaburi a 28-year-old art student has taken the challenge of making bread more interesting one step further and crafts bread in the form of bruised and battered heads, limbs and internal organs at his family bakery to emphasize the teachings of Buddha.

Kittiwat Unarrom, a fine arts master’s degree graduate said he started making bread sculptures to highlight Buddhist teachings of not accept everything at face value and to look at subjects more intently.

The gruesome looking doughy creations conceal an inner blend of traditional bread ingredients, as well as treats such as raisins, chocolates and nuts.

Kittiwat said the lifelike appearance of the finished product makes people contemplate their values when they sit down at mealtime, reinforcing what Buddha taught.

“People should not accept everything on face value and be quick to judge situations or other people. My bread artwork looks gruesome and repulsive, but inside is the soft textured bread and sweet surprises that are totally opposite of what people see.

“Mealtime’s are a good time for people to reflect because they are free of other distractions and Buddha wanted us all to contemplate every situation and see the beauty of everything he created”, he said.

While tucking into a bruised and battered head, a grazed arm or diseased looking pancreas might not be how many people would prefer to start their day, Kittiwat’s crusty treats are guaranteed to stop any boring dinner conversations or childrens’ squabbles when they are brought to the table.

Visitors to Thailand are able to perform their own contemplation of the seen and unseen by heading to the Ratchaburi area and simply asking directions for the bakers shop that bakes human parts.

Cripes, that is some scary looking bread.

I love bread, but this would be difficult to swallow.
