» For over a century the 783 tamarind trees have encircled the sacred ground of Sanam Luang. They were there, like stoic sentinels, during ceremonial pomp and political upheavals, come rain or shine. If the vast ground fronting the Grand Palace is a symbol of Bangkok, the tamarind trees are in turn a symbol of Sanam Luang.

Spreading the make-up
Muse, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 03/12/2016
» Nowadays, when kids think "make-up artist", beauty-gurus like Pony, PearyPie and Momay Pa Plearn come to mind. These so-called "beauty influencers" upload make-up tutorial videos, tour around the world as presenters, and flaunt and advertise the latest make-up collections of whatever brand is sponsoring them. It's a glam life, as they've built their whole business around being pretty, making themselves look pretty, and sharing make-up tips and looks with the masses. But a real make-up artist, says Punwisit "Pok" Sukarom, is actually someone who makes someone else beautiful -- someone who makes someone's special day perfect.
