Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 09/10/2015
» Bangkok has long prided itself on the vibrancy of its taxis -- they make the roads look like someone has spilled a giant bag of M&M's. But are we the only city with colourful cabs? Apparently not.

» One of my extremely constructive hobbies, right up there with Candy Crush, is reading comments on public Facebook pages. Sources of my entertainment range from Drama-Addict to hard news pages. Usually, I find the comments more interesting than the news itself.

» I have a confession to make. I read a lot of trashy, gossipy entertainment news. And you know what I realised? Those famous faces must have attended some kind of superstar etiquette course, because they always give the same strange answers during interviews. It goes like this.

The message in the rain
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 10/07/2015
» Rain. The word fills Bangkokians with fear, especially in rainy season. It can lead to so many unhappy incidents — horrendous hours-long traffic jams, power outages, fallen trees, floods, rodents on the run or just plain getting soaked from head to toe.

Bringing back the memories
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 26/05/2015
» Nothing reminds me that I'm getting old (so are you, by the way) like seeing how much my former idols have aged, and the chances of realising this cruel fact has been quite high recently here in Bangkok, first with the Backstreet Boys' concert earlier this month, followed by Boyzone's performance on Sunday, soon to be followed by Blue next month. Should I also point out that some of these guys were popular when cassette tapes were still the mainstream medium?
A dream to dye for

» Sisters Wowdow and Raweeras Poocharoen and their friend Pornthip Patiluntakalkool look like they each belong to a different social scene. Wowdow, a 33-year-old softly-spoken interior designer, has a confident, mature personality, while her 26-year-old sister Raweeras is a young and hip artist type. Pornthip, 30, who has known the two for years, is a girly girl with an up-and-at-em character. Cool and composed, Wowdow was born and bred in America, while her artsy sister grew up in Chiang Mai. Pornthip, described by her two friends as a "go getter", was raised in Chantaburi province. Despite their diverse backgrounds, what the trio share is their passion for tie-dyed fabric, and the love for the brand they've built together.
