Cracking over the papers
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 02/04/2013
» I would be strutting down Bangkok's crappy pavements in posh footwear and sipping expensive tea every day by now had I said yes to some things a few months ago. Namely, writing CVs, statements of purpose, essays and dissertations for graduate students.

Cute and culturally right on
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 08/03/2013
» As someone who's always on the hunt for novel souvenirs of Thailand to give friends of mine living abroad, I tend to have my eyes peeled for objects of a more distinctive character. So many mass-produced "Thai" products feature elephants that the motif has been seriously done to death. Or else they're plastered with enough gold paint/dye to make any self-possessed local roll her/his eyes in exasperation.

High Spirits
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/03/2013
» The first reflex traditionalist fans of the ancient legend will have on laying their eyes on the lead cast is probably to die a little on the inside. The feeling exponentially multiplies upon watching a trailer that depicts Pee Mak, played by Mario Maurer, as an abbaew airhead. It really makes you wonder if there's something wrong with Mak or Nak: is this nitwit, albeit cute as a button, seriously the guy she has been remorsefully lamenting over?

Spring into summer
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/03/2013
» During this time of the year, Western countries are revelling in the first air of spring. In Thailand, the looming Thai New Year season edges closer and could more or less call for new changes, too. Spring cleaning is no fun, but revamps may have you feeling otherwise. With new plants shooting up and well wishes blessed by the elders, this season symbolises a new start that we can physically materialise by giving a new look to our surroundings. A whole furniture overhaul can be costly, so we suggest another alternative to achieving transformation: change your walls.

Wounded Knee, restored spirit
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/01/2013
» Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee may not ring the bell too loud in this century, but in the previous, it was a seminal read for Baby Boomers and liberals in many parts of the world. First published in the US in 1970, the book was a best-seller throughout 1971, and although it was written over 40 years ago, the words Brown penned, according to its Thai translator, are still strikingly relevant to the Obama-era of today.

Forever Running Alone
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/01/2013
» Temple Run 2 is here! Developed and released by Imangi, fans of the Indiana Jones-esque game who have gotten tired of running around in the same old primeval, deserted temple can now run on another ancient structure... but on a mountain above the clouds. Visually speaking, it's more exciting as there are a whole lot of new things to surprise you at every corner, whether it is a waterfall, spinning spiky traps, a river, fire, stone ruins or string bridges to jump over or duck under.
