Cute and culturally right on

» As someone who's always on the hunt for novel souvenirs of Thailand to give friends of mine living abroad, I tend to have my eyes peeled for objects of a more distinctive character. So many mass-produced "Thai" products feature elephants that the motif has been seriously done to death. Or else they're plastered with enough gold paint/dye to make any self-possessed local roll her/his eyes in exasperation.

» There's never a summer without floral print dresses _ be it just buds or branches of flowers in full bloom. In recent seasons, the fascination with flowers goes beyond seasonal limitations. In autumn/winter 2012, we witnessed a domineering trend of floral prints on black/navy backgrounds as well as a range of tapestries that involved floral designs.

Unwrapping Gaysorn's Most Wanted
Nikki Busuttil, Published on 03/12/2012
» Every year, you can be sure of a grand affair, during the festive season, at one of central Bangkok's premiere shopping malls, but none more illustrious than at Gaysorn Shopping Centre. For the last decade, they have been helping shoppers celebrate, find gift ideas and rewarding their patronage accordingly, in a fun and vibrant manner. Décor dangles from the ceiling in the atrium, with presents, tinsel, nutcrackers, presents and baubles on show, and everyone is getting into the Christmas and New Year spirit of giving.
That's a wrap

» Scarves in Thailand surely play a more aesthetic than practical function _ unless you use one to cover your head to protect it from the sun's rays like a construction worker (not so likely).

Closing-down sale at Siam Square

» There's always a brighter side to even the gloomiest story, but it can sometimes take a measure - or a great deal - of positive thinking to see it. Take the outrage in some quarters about the planned redevelopment, probably involving demolition, of two cherished old cinemas in Siam Square, for example. Whether or not the Lido and the Scala survive in their present form, at least the threat to their existence has galvanised a group of young preservation activists into voicing their concerns; and the unfolding situation may even teach them how to better preserve our cultural heritage.
Back in time

» Vintage clothes can be seen everywhere in Bangkok so it's no surprise that the number of vintage stores is on the rise. Even the word "wintage" has crept into the Thai language.
