» The luxury bodycare and aroma products all boast very traditional Thai scents like jasmine and lemongrass, but the flagship store they sit in is fashioned like a futuristic science lab -- with circular fluorescent haloes and an awe-inspiring line of glass columns filled with perfume.

» There's no doubt that Thai wooden houses possess a quaint and charming character you'd be hard-pressed to replicate elsewhere. Therefore, it's somewhat aggravating that they don't enjoy the same fawning over that neoclassical or colonial buildings in Bangkok do when it comes to preservation. Rickety, stilt wooden houses alongside the river may seem common and "normal" for the average Thai, but Bangkok-based Filipina entrepreneur Irma Go has always loved these structures, especially while taking visiting family and friends on boat tours on the sleepy canals of Bangkok.

» Die-hard fans of the Sretsis fashion brand who want a custom wedding dress by the label -- brace yourselves for this cold, hard limitation. Their creative director Pimdao Sukhahuta will only be able to oversee two clients per year to design a brand-new, one-of-a-kind ensemble for special occasions. Book your slots early because the process to truly understand each bride or wearer's desires requires Pimdao no less than six months to conceive a gown that ticks all your boxes of dreamy extravaganza.

» The thing about the Sretsis fashion brand is that they are not only lauded for their clothes but also for magnificent retail spaces that make a trip to their stores a dreamy visit to the galaxy of Victorian fairy tales, among other fanciful backdrops. As the brand's universe has creatively widened in the past few years, the name has grown to encompass food and beverage (a fine tea parlour), home décor (wallpaper with fantastical beasts) and dining ware (ceramic unicorn candle holders). Earlier this month, the three Sukhahuta sisters unveiled a home -- completely fashioned in the Sretsis style -- for anyone who wants to live in the whimsical flair the brand is so well known for.

This year, the real estate developer unveils BuGaan Yothinpattana as their latest flagship super-luxury project -- with three-floor residences that bring to mind the ultra-sleek, ultra-modern and ultra-cubic LA home.
