» We are now past the half-way mark of 2018. Yes, it's insane how time flies. Before we know it, we'll be doing a Christmas issue and wishing you a New Year. Although it seems like the days are flashing right before our eyes, there's still a bunch of days, weeks and a handful of months left in 2018 for us to enjoy. Case in point: all these thing left to look forward to as we draw nearer and nearer to the end of the year. Here are our picks.

» Remember how blown away we all were when we saw Tony Stark had an AI butler named Jarvis? That's not entirely impossible now. It's called "home automation" and these home automations come together to make a "smart house" -- you know, like a smartphone. That means you can set up every aspect of your home so that it automatically does stuff for you. In other words, it's a lazy person's dream. You can also control it via your phone or hands-free through an AI assistant whether it be Siri, Google or Alexa, as long as it's all connected to the Wi-Fi.

And then there's the million dollar question: how much is this all going to cost? Will I be able to afford it or is this vacay worth living off saltine crackers for a month?

» While the scorching heat of Thailand will always be around, we're now into the season where that would be alleviated with a "bit" of rainfall. Yes, it's rainy season in Thailand, which means an increase in picky taxi drivers, wet floors on the BTS and Minesweeper-like pavements that could spew dirty water on you when you step on them. Despite the great inconvenience it causes, it also results in great stories that shouldn't just be kept to ourselves. Having said that, we asked you, our dear readers, what experiences you've had in the torrential downpour season, and as always, you didn't disappoint. Here are our faves.

» We are smack in the middle of the World Cup, and unlike Americans who use phrases like "World Series" or "World Champions" despite having only American participants, the majority of the world is actually involved in this tournament. There's only about two weeks left, but there are a lot of matches to watch and a whole lot of World Cup to keep you going. Fortunately, Bangkok is high on the World Cup fever, and we've got a number of places you can visit to keep that high.
