Lost in Translation
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/06/2021
» At the risk of sounding nostalgic, I enjoy Googling things from decades gone by (exhibit A: Thai vintage ads in my past editor's notes). The Thai language version of famous Hollywood movie posters is another blast from the past I think is highly underrated, especially if you're a language nerd/film buff. Back then movie posters had to be recreated by Thai artists, who hand-painted them, along with creative copywriters, who came up with catchy titles and taglines in Thai.

With wild abandon
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 09/06/2019
» Over the course of nearly a decade, we have on more than one occasion gushed about how UK outfit Wild Beasts were top-shelf purveyors of erudite indie-rock. Even though they regrettably called it quits in 2017, they remain one of the very few rock bands who managed to strike an impeccable balance between indie and art-rock. Ranging from baroque to barbaric, their five-album discography charts leftfield territories with strutting confidence. Not many rock bands are able to incorporate geeky literary allusions into their songwriting and still look pretty damn cool doing it.

Sizzling tales
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 24/03/2017
» The summer's heat can make us do some ridiculous things. Just recently, a French woman was found running around naked near Khaosan road, complaining it was too hot. Granted, authorities said she was mentally ill, but admittedly, we know exactly how she feels. Although we would never run around butt-naked through Bangkok's streets, we've had our fair share of ridiculousness when it comes to the Thai summer. We've gone to great lengths to relieve ourselves from the heat and had some pretty unforgettable moments in the process. This week, we decided to ask you to share your experiences with us. You certainly didn't disappoint.

» Sorry (not sorry) fans of loud and colourful activewear, but trendy athletic wear is going back to the basics of moody tones, sharing aesthetics with practical fashion. To be honest, this has been a long time coming as mass fashion and design have been increasingly keen on cutting down frills. I mean just look at the iPhone 7. Who would have thought a few years ago that the sight of an earphone jack or even earphones themselves could be so unfashionable.
