Quest for lost love takes to the road
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 19/09/2014
» It doesn't feel like a Bollywood movie and for that reason alone Finding Fanny may attract a more international, albeit still slightly niche, audience than most of the mainstream films made in India. There are no extravagant dance routines here, nor glitzy, museum-quality costumes; just a road trip and a handful of loveable personalities pondering life.

Flamboyant footprints
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/11/2015
» Frills, fluff and drama describe the kind of clothes and accessories home-grown fashion house Theatre makes. A visit to their glass-encased store, located on the third floor of Siam Center, is like a visit to the finest costume department in the land -- it is packed with glittering headpieces, delicate lace blouses, rhinestone embroidered dresses and all sorts of over-the-top numbers that belong on the stage as much as on the fashionable streets.

Hearts and friendships
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 04/11/2016
» A Karan Johar film usually offers promises of glamorous locales, impossibly beautiful leads, cameos of his A-list buddies, over-the-top songs and what is supposed to be an atomic bomb of feel-goodism. He doesn't let you down within the departments of the first four, but Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (The Heart Is Complicated) is unlikely to stay with you the way his previous decade-defining works have. It's not as tear-jerking or heartwarming, but still does offer a great soundtrack that will cling to your mind unlike its messy plot. (Try keeping the waterworks in when Channa Mereya comes on. You won't.)

Flight of fancy
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 11/06/2015
» Some things never get old, and the classic farce Boeing Boeing is one of them. Remade and reinterpreted around the world for over 50 years, there was no surprise that the comedy, first written by French playwright Marc Camolleti, would eventually land rather fittingly on Thai shores. A playboy juggling three different air hostess fiancées — I'm not altogether sure that someone Thai didn't come up with this plot.

A British step above
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 11/06/2015
» Golden platform heels and see-through box-clutches may have been reinterpreted, redesigned and reproduced by many "impressionists", but it all trickled down from Charlotte Olympia. Recently celebrating their first flagship store in Bangkok, the British luxury and accessories brand boasts a shop that exudes old-world Hollywood glamour, selling the kind of shoes that have people looking at your feet before they look at your face. Currently, there are eight stores across the world, with Thailand's being the second store to open in Asia.

Robbing from the rich, but giving to whom?
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/09/2014
» Life has meaning again, now that Downton Abbey has returned to our TV screens, its fifth season beginning last Sunday. Its otherworldly visuals continue to draw me in, with the upstairs goings-on of the aristocrats and the downstairs drama among the servants still as captivating as ever. I actually have to remind myself every time I watch an episode that people from another continent in this world of ours actually lived like this less than 100 years ago: that cooks had to dine separately from the rest of the servants in a stately home; that members of the upper class changed clothes as often as five times a day; that it was inconceivable that a proper lady or gentleman would have to perform actual work to earn a living.
