In the dark
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 13/01/2016
» Thailand's advertising industry occupies both the highest and lowest grounds when it comes to pushing creativity. We're often regarded as the funniest peddlers in the world, and there's a long string of Cannes trophies and instantaneous LOL-reactions to prove it. But, at the opposite end of the spectrum, we also sometimes attract international media attention for the wrong reasons, such as the discriminating ads that continue to infiltrate the public sphere. Last week, beauty company Seoul Secret caused an uproar with its whitening pill tagline that brazenly voiced what other skin-whitening ads in Thailand have been subliminally implying for decades: "You just need to be white to win."

Look who's popped up — it's LV
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 10/02/2016
» For the very first time in Bangkok, a Louis Vuitton pop-up store has landed in front of their shop in Siam Paragon’s Hall of Fame. Although shaped like a sleek cave filled with a selection of pieces from the menswear spring/summer 2016 collection, the blue, tunnel-like aesthetic is actually modelled to look like a large, silk blanket draping over the store — blankets being something LV men’s artistic director Kim Jones is known to pioneer. To date, the scale of this pop-up is by far one of the largest to have ever opened in Southeast Asia and will be leaving our posh retail artery after Sunday.

The real cost of a higher minimum wage
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 03/06/2015
» With the growing economy, there are a large number of new condominiums and office building projects popping up around the city, whirring with labourers like numberless worker ants in the pit. In such a climate where Satan himself would feel at home, one cannot help but feel sorry and blessed at the same time — sorry for the workers in such conditions and blessed that you are not one of them. One might ask whether the 300 baht minimum wage justifies the working conditions that these poor souls face and one would be right and humanitarian to think as such.

A world of educational opportunity
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 25/02/2015
» The very first international school in Thailand opened in 1951. No more than what one hand can count followed in the next few decades — it became a community which only opened its doors to children of expats and English-speaking students who had lived abroad for three years or more.

Sisterhood of the travelling bicycles
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/11/2014
» 'It's different from being in a car," the tall blonde, Carlijn Bettink, says. "There's lots of interaction when you're on a bike, which is really good for travelling. We're four girls cycling in the heat and people just enjoy watching. When we try to go up hills, people are always laughing and they all go, 'You girls are crazy! What are you doing?!'."

Laos en vogue
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 14/03/2014
» They say to buy real French haute couture starts at around a million — something that also applies to Lao haute couture as well. Here, however, it’s more like 1 million kip (4,000 baht) we’re talking about. And that, thankfully, is only about a month’s worth of lunches, as opposed to a lifetime of lunches, dinners, breakfasts and snacks — for the whole village. Much of the Lao fashion scene still operates within the confines of traditional culture and propriety, but nevertheless, it is an industry that recently got its official milestone beginning.

The world at their feet
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 21/11/2013
» It has taken Roy Flynn, 36, and Nicole Denise Schreiter, 31,500 days to travel by car from Switzerland to Thailand. Leaving their old lives as a technical businessman and nurse in Switzerland behind without any doubts in March last year, thanks to a sense of wanderlust, the couple has travelled through 23 countries, four world religions, and many plateaus and climates after saving for the trip for seven years. Their route on land has led them to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, Siberia, Mongolia, Western China, the Himalayas, India, and finally to Southeast Asia.
