» 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.
