    Riding high in the simulated Wild West

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 05/12/2016

    » Looking all parts American perfection and stomaching spicy dishes surprisingly well (according to his bodyguard) for a first-timer in Singapore, James Marsden was in the Lion City last week to promote the season finale of HBO's Westworld. As the human equivalent of goodness and sunshine, it becomes apparent that the Hollywood dreamboat is fittingly well-known for his nice-guy roles (in X-Men, The Notebook, Enchanted, Hairspray) because he is also such a person in real life. In fact, it all feels satisfyingly in-character when the 43-year-old admits that he loves Frank Capra movies and that the violence in Westworld isn't gratuitous.

    Sentiment lost in symbols

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 11/11/2015

    » Personally, November is a bit of a bummer month, for not having anything to look forward to. The only festive frolicking is Loy Krathong -- and I'm not sure what that commemorates or celebrates precisely. Out of habit and some weird justification, my household will probably have to float something in our little village pond. Mostly because it's become a bit of a societal requirement -- you're considered a total misanthrope if the neighbours notice that you don't show up. Besides being shunned by the village, would I be forever blacklisted by the water gods for choosing to opt out of this eye-watering and ecologically reckless festival?

This year's awards ceremony will be taking place later this month.

    An urban oasis

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/04/2021

    » The thing about the Sretsis fashion brand is that they are not only lauded for their clothes but also for magnificent retail spaces that make a trip to their stores a dreamy visit to the galaxy of Victorian fairy tales, among other fanciful backdrops. As the brand's universe has creatively widened in the past few years, the name has grown to encompass food and beverage (a fine tea parlour), home décor (wallpaper with fantastical beasts) and dining ware (ceramic unicorn candle holders). Earlier this month, the three Sukhahuta sisters unveiled a home -- completely fashioned in the Sretsis style -- for anyone who wants to live in the whimsical flair the brand is so well known for.

    Where a good time is prime

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/06/2018

    » Different resorts are suitable for different things. On the Phuket holidaying circuit, one of the most prevalent names you're likely to come across steadily is Sri Panwa, the pool villa spectacularly managed by the Issara clan. Its photogenic rooftop bar, Baba Nest, is packed with beautiful socialites that will flood your social-media feed all year round. However, there's another Baba that's also generating some buzz, and it's certainly well suited to those who would rather dance the night away than flex for the 'Gram.

    From the Netherlands, with love

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 08/07/2016

    » If you ever get the chance to chat with His Excellency Karel Hartogh, the Netherlands Ambassador to Thailand, you would be amazed at how the breadth of his well-informed conversational topics (and his involvement in them) can range from beach dangers and endometriosis to flood management and yoghurt.

    Picture-perfect sushi and more

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 27/03/2015

    » Do pictures of sushi flood your social newsfeed? Does it ever get tedious to upload visually bland pictures of slabs of fish and mundane pictures of the fat-filled, pink otoro? If you're a fan of premium sushi, but don't have the taste buds of an absolute purist, Moe Sushi & Bar might just answer your cravings. Open since January, this is the place to go for that perfect photo of a particularly gorgeous piece of sushi, perhaps wrapped with Wagyu. And topped with a quail egg. And uni. And caviar.

    It's a choux-in

    Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 06/09/2013

    » You can't lie about choux pastries. Their light crispy shell is in itself a dead giveaway to whether it has been kept overnight or not. On Silom Complex's basement floor, it can be tough trying to navigate and break through all that franchise clutter to get a really good bite, but rest assured that some bake-houses do offer quality choux pastries with a zing of their own.
