Tanwarin's latest a delight, full of tantalising surprises
Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 26/09/2014
» There's a turmoil of emotions, daring and unexpected in Tanwarin Sukkhapisit's latest comedy-drama Love Sud Jin Fin Sugoi. This film (whose title is a linguistic potpourri, an English word mixed with Japanese and Thai slang terms) is packed with familiar faces (the Thai cast members) and also features an appearance by Japanese rock star Makoto Koshinaka. It focuses on the tangled relationships among a group of friends, most of whom seem to be harbouring a secret crush on another member of the group.

Special needs, special tactics
Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 23/09/2014
» Way down a soi in the Lad Phrao area, a blue house with a red gate set into a brick wall painted white has a most welcoming feel to it when I drop by one sunny day. Inside, there is a small grassy area with a covered sandpit. Children's bicycles are piled in one corner and a vegetable garden can be seen at the back of the property. This is MA Home Play, a cosy refuge on Soi Nak Niwat 48 which caters to children battling autism and other learning disabilities.
