» The general election is this Sunday, baby! Aren't you stoked to be able to exercise your right to vote again after a five-year absence (or eight, if you take into consideration that the 2014 general election was deemed invalid by the Constitutional Court). Anywhoo, it can be overwhelming to digest all the information, campaign videos, memes, pictures of hot candidates and fake news that have flooded your Facebook newsfeed lately. Perhaps, it's best to judge our candidates based on their parties' policies and proposals, and Bangkok Poll on Sunday revealed that 97% of respondents in their latest survey will vote on Mar 24 and more than half said party policies will be the first factor when deciding which candidates to vote for.

» As an actor, Pipat “Top” Apiruktanakorn, 35, has appeared on both the small and silver screens. But since 2009 he has also played another well-known role — that of an advocate for green lifestyles, opening Ecoshop, which sells eco-friendly yet well-designed products. Last year, it was reincarnated as Ecoshop Common (G/F, Bangkok Art & Culture Centre, Rama I Road, BTS National Stadium, fb.com/ecoshopcommon.bangkok), a combined retail shop and learning centre. To further enable people to embrace their greener side, Top last week launched a smartphone application called Ecolife. Here, Top speaks with us about the app, which is in English and currently available on the App Store and Google Play.
