Rebel with a Closet
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 24/03/2017
» Have you ever wondered what Sumati Sivasiamphai, our former illustrious editor, has been up to? It may seem like she's been keeping a low profile but it turns out she has been juggling several exciting projects. The Emory University graduate has been writing her own fashion blog that has a Thai-Indian POV, called Rebel with a Closet (rebelwithacloset.com, fb.com/rebelwithacloset, IG: @rebelwithacloset), enjoying marital bliss, launching an online jewellery business called Marry Me Diamonds (marrymediamonds.com, fb.com/marrymediamonds, IG: @marrymediamonds) and preparing herself for motherhood. Woah, that's a lot. We decided to catch up with Sumati and had a chat about style, selling bling online and proposing tips.

Enjoying the Vista
Life, Published on 13/02/2017
» The steady loss of Thailand's once ubiquitous stand-alone cinemas -- structures once symbols of the nation's modern, urban identity -- may soon be getting a break. For the first time in the country's history, a long-derelict cinema is in the initial stages of a revival.
Dog days have just begun
B Magazine, Chaiyot Yongcharoenchai, Published on 13/11/2016
» Since being attacked at a young age, Praew, 15, has always been afraid of dogs -- no matter how adorable they are. A child with special needs, she would always associate them with that early bad memory and scream whenever they came near.
Art on a huge scale
B Magazine, Michael Ruffles, Published on 23/10/2016
» If Thailand was to get a 23-metre easel weighing 12 tonnes, where should it go? And what painting should it support? These are the questions Cameron Cross hopes to answer as he attempts to bring his international public art project to Thailand.
Cinema scope
Life, Published on 12/07/2016
» Decades have passed since the residents of Bang Rak have been able to count a proper cinema in their vicinity. The tight-knit neighbourhood -- sited near the river and the financial downtown of Silom -- is known for its kaleidoscopic mix of architecture, mom-and-pop businesses and narrow streets, and the district was once home to several stand-alone cinemas all within walking distance of each other. Over the years, those cinemas went out of business as Bangkok expanded to the north and east, and disinvestment gradually drained the old-fashioned district of some vitality.

Delusion and denim dreams
Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 08/04/2016
» It was an almost overwhelming experience of sights and sounds on Sunday as the Bangkok CityCity Gallery played host to Korakrit Arunanondchai's crazy, conceptual world of burnt denim, nightmare-inducing mannequins, and a giant cyber-jungle monster. A collection by the New York-based multimedia artist comprising denim paintings, abstract body paint and a floor-to-ceiling installation of entangled foliage, drones, wires, electronics and mannequins engendered a mixture of awe, appreciation and confusion in equal measure.
Hero in a half shell

» Graphic designer Wisaruth Wisidh is the man behind the creation of a defiant character, both childlike and colourful, that has become the symbol of Thai resistance. His drawing of a feisty-looking girl wearing a coconut shell, called "Nong Kala", has played its part in encouraging more than 150,000 people to sign a petition on change.org against the government's proposal of the controversial Single Gateway project, which many believe to be a plan to control the internet traffic of the citizens.
