» In a neighbourhood where gold shop signs glow and street food carts putter past century-old shophouses, Louis Vuitton has checked in. Outside five connecting shophouses and its white, balconied façade, flags spangled with the brand's LV logo flutter alongside the glow of an elegantly lit Louis Vuitton Hotel Bangkok sign.

» Twenty years young and emerging as an even more sophisticated and inspiring go-to could be one way to describe the current incarnation of Siam Paragon. Extensive renovations that began in early 2024 have transformed the luxury mall into an even more glossy Mecca for high-end brands. But the retail epicentre is also trying to make a visitor's experience better by adding an arena of art that shows pieces by internationally-acclaimed artists from around the world. "We are the pride of Bangkok, and we are moving towards becoming established on the world stage," says Salawit Suviporn, executive vice president, Head of Think Tank at Siam Piwat. "Following Siam Paragon's 'luxury for all' initiative, we understand that everyone's [definition of] luxury is different, so we must cater to every group, age and sex. Art is one thing that binds everything together. The public spaces will showcase art to create wonderful experiences for visitors."

» "The first thing that happens when I enter a meeting room is we all laugh and this is before we have even started talking about work yet," Seatapron "Bell" Korwanichakul says of the lovely clients he has been fortunate enough to work with. It should come as no surprise that this amicable artist, better known as Painterbell, is the person behind the wildly loveable and joyful characters John and Lulu. Seatapron first started drawing a blond-haired, French-looking boy and girl for fun five years ago for his Instagram account. Slowly over time, the cuteness of the sibling duo steadily found their fame, with countless brands, ranging from fashion, furniture, communications to toiletries, who sought his cartoons to add a touch of cheer to their products. Today, John and Lulu, along with their friends and other Christmas characters, are decking out the squares and halls of CentralWorld as well as of other 33 branches of Central across the country.

» Affordably priced tea pairing returns to Le Meridien Bangkok. Following their previous pairing of a mango-themed afternoon tea and massage, this second edition of the promotion goes rosy by taking on a more pink-toned colour scheme. The Rose Afternoon tea set is priced at 1,700 baht, which is slightly higher than the previous mango set, but considering that you get a tea set as well as a 45-minute rose oil massage for two, there isn't much to complain about. In fact, the upcoming festive (and gold-flanked) pairing they've got in store for the end of the year is likely to increase in price too, so don't miss this deal.

Feeling all right

» There is a stillness -- borderline boring -- to Scrubb's chosen mode of visual expression. The constant of stony faces and stock-still poses that embellishes all of the band's album artwork, editorial photo shoots and magazine covers is bequeathed on us too, as Torpong "Ball" Chantabubpha and Thawatpon "Muay" Wongboonsiri laugh through gritted teeth that it is actually a strain for them to smile for the cameras or to assume the role of a dancing monkey.
