» 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.

» If you are the fashion wild child who has a temperament for winter sports, rejoice in the fact that Sretsis has just unveiled a full-fledged skiwear collection that Sretsis gals (and children!) can take to the slopes. Titled "The Dreamers", the fall/winter 2020 collection features truly show-stopping ski suits, down jackets, overalls and leggings that are not a mere slapping on of cloud, floral and leopard prints onto skiwear.

Sheltered paradise
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/09/2018
» One of the greatest things in life is to be able to do anything, anywhere, at your own pace while on holiday. I may have the extreme in mind (when you can afford to wake up at 3pm, begin your day at 5pm or get a decent slice of culture all within a short walk away), but if convenience and not having to catch some weird local sickness are part of the package, then why not, right? Of course, not all of us may be free to travel during the high season, when there are no storms to put a damper on our getaway. But even if money cannot buy impeccable weather, it can still buy you an exquisite holiday experience and pictures, if you just know where to look.
