» When I visited Ayutthaya Historical Park last week, I noticed some tourists posing for photos among the ruined temples while wearing classic period attire. My companions and I started to perspire under the brilliant blue sky and soaring temperatures, but they carried on happily exploring various places to take in the nostalgic atmosphere.

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 19/11/2021
» I don't think you really need to be reminded how ironic Loy Krathong is every year.

» In the true spirit of Marc Jacobs' iconic Daisy perfume line, the new version that's recently launched comes with daisy-based notes and of course, a larger than necessary flower cap. Daisy Love is undeniably feminine, with its bright pop of crystallised cloudberries that intermingle with daisy tree petals, cashmere musks and driftwood. Compared to the original, this version is a much sweeter fragrance and smells like that (still) dreamy phase during a new relationship. Available now at major department stores at 3,520 baht for 50ml and 4,200 baht for 100ml.
