An adventure with Mamuang
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/09/2015
» The brand new Bangkok Citycity Gallery now has Thailand's most-loved illustrated darling, Mamuang, to mark its inception in the art arena. The day Wisut Ponnimit's work will be shown full-scale in Thailand has arrived at last -- and judging by the artist's "yeah-whatever-don't-make-life-complicated" mindset, you'd better pop in to see it before the exhibition ends in early October. The opportunity to see his mango-shaped little girl -- this time in the form of a choose-your-own-adventure maze, is possibly harder than trying to find Maroon 5 tickets, thanks to Wisut's constant tsunami of work for magazines, product endorsements and countless corporations.

» Chocolates and wine can be fine, but unbeknown to the common Thai tongue, beer and dessert can be great friends too. We've seen all sorts of pairings go hand in hand before, yet, having dessert with beer has been a long Belgian tradition according to Sisada Gajanandana, the senior brand manager of Brewberry.

» If you're in the mood for dance-offs and dance sequences in the streets, in practice rooms, in restaurants, in studios, in bars, in front of the Bellagio Fountains, on motorcycles, on TV, on the harbour, on buses, on the stage, on another stage in the US, and amid a monolith of a canyon structure, then ABCD 2 (Any Body Can Dance 2) has more than enough dancing for all.
For eccentric fashion enthusiasts

» Check in to Sretsis's latest branch at The EmQuartier for a shopping experience that recreates vibes from the brand's first international flagship in Tokyo, Sretsis Inn. Decked out with gold accents, classic striped sofas and dark mahogany, this corner at the Qurator Zone brings you back to hotels of yesteryear, with clothing racks that look like bellboy trolleys and display cases that epitomise revolving doors. Upon entering, you will be greeted by a concierge desk, fully decorated with a classy, wood panelled façade. Mannequins at the revolving doors are wearing the latest and hottest pieces from the collection — the current being "The Runway Rum: Rock-A-Loha Summer Love". Launched at this branch before all other stores, this summer collection is where Madonna-esque motifs meets Hawaiian frills. Think hot-pink and neon colours, topped with super-loud plastic accessories. Music notes and piano keys are some of the delicate details this season; hemlines are decorated with irresistibly eye-catching bars of notes. The standout zippers, a well-circulated fashion element from the kitschy decade, also scream 80s rock.

Sail away with the family

» Even if awkward silences, nosey aunties and shameless pretentiousness is part of the package, it's still hard to not accept an invitation to an all-paid-for 10-day cruise to Greece. If anything, it's the much-awaited all-star cast of Dil Dhadakne Do (Let The Heart Beat) that makes you want to tag along, even if you want no part in their drama. Using an upper crust 30th wedding anniversary as the backdrop, director Zoya Akhtar serves up a condensed trip through every type of familial problem Indian families face in just under three hours.
Flight of fancy

» Some things never get old, and the classic farce Boeing Boeing is one of them. Remade and reinterpreted around the world for over 50 years, there was no surprise that the comedy, first written by French playwright Marc Camolleti, would eventually land rather fittingly on Thai shores. A playboy juggling three different air hostess fiancées — I'm not altogether sure that someone Thai didn't come up with this plot.
A British step above

» Golden platform heels and see-through box-clutches may have been reinterpreted, redesigned and reproduced by many "impressionists", but it all trickled down from Charlotte Olympia.

Currently, there are eight stores across the world, with Thailand's being the second store to open in Asia.
