Coldplay across the universe
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 07/02/2024

But later as more celebrities including Selma Blair, Jenna Dewan and even Kim Kardashian jumped on the bandwagon, the drink officially became a serious health trend.
Parisian charm
Life, Published on 15/11/2018
» Twenty-one years ago, Parisian luxury fashion house Chanel opened its doors to its very first boutique and office in Bangkok, introducing the Kingdom to the likes of their little black dress, timeless tweed jacket, and, of course, classic flap bag. Twenty-one years on, Thailand has become one of the top 10 markets for this multibillion dollar fashion house, and, with that, it was only natural for the brand to bring a bit of Parisian charm to the City of Angels.
