Nothing standard about it

» Having worked as the assistant of hospitality for trailblazer Barry Sternlicht when the Starwood empire was just getting launched, Amar Lalvani was right at the birth of the whole "cool lifestyle hotel" movement as it came into fruition 20 years ago. "I was there since the beginning and I loved it," the California-born hotelier recalls. "I didn't seek it, but when I saw it, it encapsulated everything I liked to do so I just stuck with it."
A touch of class

» We all have problems, but your super red arowana aquarium fish being too drowsy to entertain your house guests because it just returned from getting a facelift or being locked out of inheriting a 64 acre palatial estate in the heart of Singapore would surely only qualify as "rich people problems".

Wanna Siwilai and chill?

» The feel and facade of Central Embassy changes more often than the girlfriends of a fickle playboy, but that's OK, because Bangkok's an easily-bored crowd anyway. Give us some new razzle-dazzle to gab about every month and we're good. All the cool peeps are talking about it, so if you haven't been to the latest skyline hangout, which celebrated its grand opening at the luxury mall last week, here's what's up about Siwilai City Club.
Looking cool when it's hot

» What's hot from the Bangkok Fashion Society this spring/summer? First off, the season welcomes three new members to its exclusive fashion club: ASV, Patinya, and T and T. And it's about time, too, as these three labels are definitely up there with strikingly clear personalities -- making clothes that any society little miss, uber-feminine lady or cool kid would appreciate. That's not to say those outside the BFS umbrella aren't special, but many times it's this core group that's sought after by department stores to create the most-coveted limited-edition pieces or special projects. It also means that when this gang does cool shows, like the one presented at Siam Paragon last night, "The Spirit Of Thai Designers", you get to see your favourite brand come up with designs besides what's in stores.
Let them see you sweat

» The major summer sporting season may be ending (tomorrow is the last day of the Paralympics in Rio), but as of late, Thais have never needed any excuse to sport running shoes and sports bras everywhere. Being the exhibitionists we are, people are doing all they can to exhibit their active lifestyle: parading through malls, cafés and even offices in fancy exercising gear. Optional: actually working out. The fitness crowd is increasingly dressing to the nines to exercise, making it much easier on the eyes to take those outfits outside the gym.
Longing for a better Comic Con
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 06/05/2016
» Very little squealing went down at this year's Bangkok Comic Con -- at least from yours truly. The massive geeky gig last weekend, now in its third year, was again hosted at BITEC this past weekend, although this year by True Visions and not the old co-host, BEC Tero. If you missed it, you didn't miss very much, as the smaller, local booths (distributors of books, DVDs, merchandise) that did not join BCC made for a pretty dull affair.
Out of the cave, ready to rumble

» With his square-rimmed black glasses, perfectly-gelled hair and tall, lanky build, Isaac Hempstead Wright looks like the geeky but cute wallflower BFF that's just dropped out of a Hollywood teen flick. Of course, it was actually dropping out of a tower -- after witnessing Operation Incest -- that he is known for, in his role as Bran Stark from the wildly-popular series Game Of Thrones.
The beauty of big
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/09/2015
» Art-appreciating and collecting couple Akapol Sudasna and Supamas Phahulo's decision whether to build a gallery or not was cemented after running into Wisut Ponnimit one day. When the comic artist agreed to be their first featured artist, construction for the new space, which would become a massive, trendy white box, would begin. Sitting on a corner in Sathorn Soi 1 are two exhibition rooms -- the main hall could easily host a concert while the smaller side is a space and retail shop. Hoping to cultivate new collectors along the way and to get more people interested in art, Bangkok Citycity Gallery will be showcasing contemporary works that also appeal to the masses beyond the art crowd.
