» Recently, newspapers in Thailand are all about one corruption scandal after another. It's as if politicians and authorities are holding their own, not-very-good-looking version of The Face Thailand -- dramas unfold every week, backs are stabbed and people are gotten rid of.
#BangkokDriversSyndrome

» I was about a few years short of being able to apply for my driver's license when they announced they would no longer be offering lifelong permits. That means, for the rest of my life, I'm required to visit the Department of Land Transport every five years to renew this little white card that I've never really used — for which I am proud, as it means I've never been flagged down by traffic police!
#DesignProblems

» Although there is no set-in-stone rule as to when you should get married, chances are you'll be receiving two wedding invitations per year in your mid-20s, and about five per month as you approach 30.

» A lot of anticipation was built when it was first announced that Central Embassy would include a “luxury” movie theatre complex called Embassy Diplomat Screens. It’s admittedly an unfathomable concept that makes you wonder — how luxurious can a cinema be? Diego Gronda, managing and creative director of Rockwell Group Europe, a globally celebrated design company, said it’s the kind of movie theatre that does not sell movies — it sells the experience.
Moment to treasure

» It's that time of the year again, as Disney On Ice is scheduled to return to town in March to excite children and transport adults back to their childhood memories.
Don’t hate the player — hate the game

» It is funny how either Thaksin or Suthep is blamed for virtually everything today. Recently, when the lights went out momentarily in my community, one of my neighbours cursed: “Thaksin is behind this. What an evil man, making people suffer like this!” When stuck in the usual traffic in front of a mall a few weeks back, the taxi driver complained: “Damn those protestors. Suthep is making us all suffer! He’s behind everything!”

» Just when you thought you had enjoyed all the dazzling offerings in Sentosa, another one opens, tempting you to go back for more. Since the 2009 opening of Resorts World Sentosa, a part of which is Universal Studios, more attractions and activities have been added over the years.
Fashion meets film
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 30/08/2013

They share the same ancestral influence and the same uncanny ability to both mirror and push the bounds of everyday reality. Their marriage isn't new, but now for the first time it will become evident on the big screen.
