When fashion meets philosophy
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/08/2017
» Chardchakaj "Air" Waikawee is a multi-hyphenate who has received international kudos for his photography. Some of you, especially the hipsters, may already know him as the founder/owner of AIRLAB, a photography service which processes films in Sukhumvit Soi 81. He also founded his own production house and creative agency Waikawee, but he came into our radar because of TRULY (fb.com/trulybkk), a clothing brand that he started several months ago. We were so impressed by the thought that went into his unique products which lifts fashion up into something more meaningful.

Let's do lunch
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/08/2015

Even if you’re not an office worker, you deserve a proper afternoon break -- and the occasional two-hour lunch every now and then never hurt anybody. So why not elevate your lunch experience to a new level? This week, we scan the city for places where you can raise your lunch game.
