Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 14/01/2015

» Thirteen years ago, Apartmentkhunpa was born out of the debris of legendary indie rock bands Siam Secret Service and Araija. We thought the new outfit wouldn't last for long, but four full-length albums, countless collaborative work across all disciplines and 13 years later, Tul Waitoonkiat (vocals), Piyanart Jotikasthira (guitar), Gun Rujinarong (guitar), Pukan Sunsuriya (bass) and Tassarerk Limsila (drums) are still doing what they do best: making music and playing to still-growing, appreciative crowds.

» The durability of G-Shock watches is truly a feat. First introduced in 1983 and manufactured by Casio, G-Shock has stood the test of time, not to mention passing fashions and fads, partially due to its hard-wearing construction and its functionality.

We catch up with a trio of young street artists, who have all credited MMFK as their influence, but who're also bursting with colour and a style of their own

» Adhering to the stereotype, we sometimes scoff at the idea of having an intellectual conversation with models. But none of the enveloping, mean-spirited adjectives often associated with the high-flying career — shallow, materialistic — can be applied to Cheera Choo, a New York-based Thai model. With sharp cheekbones that could cut through glass and hearts, her exotic beauty definitely makes her a model in every physical sense — she is lanky, poised, with delicate limbs and sculpted, carefully made-up features. But she is also a great conversationalist who is engaging, bright, funny and straightforward. Cheera is reminiscent of every girl’s high school best friend.

» Monsith Khamsoi is not releasing a new album. He is not promoting his new movie or TV drama. He hasn't written any book or been fatally injured in a motor vehicle accident.

The younger man who lives with Monsith turned out to be his "adopted" son, and the older gentleman, known only as Thanakorn, is just his dear, lifelong friend whom Monsith considers his partner _ and the feelings are mutual.
